  • Thats usually a consequence of fiduciary responsibility, no? If you're not publicly traded, you have no such chains. Valve is privately held, and therefore untouchable in that regard. They also release their software to the public pretty often (OpenXR for VR, indirectly contributing to the Wine project via Proton, and now TF2 with a non-commercial license).

    Unless the next head of the company makes an IPO, the path seems steady. And even if the IPO occurs, the momentum is already kickstarted, and we have access to the fruits of their labor (funded by our game purchases).

  • Wouldn't the ease of access for music piracy in comparison to video piracy be the true barrier keeping them in check? Audio doesn't exactly have massive file sizes, and the ability to rip audio from any source has become more accessible than ever.

    I wonder when streaming services may have their "Napster moment".

  • I don't think that's competition, more IP holder rent-seeking.

  • A pessimistic take on this is that all relationships are transactional - basically the guilded age era of social darwinism but extended to all social interactions, not just economic.

    An optimistic take is that humanity desires social interaction, and positive feedback is a motivation for engaging in polite and supportive social activity. You and others you interact with benefit from the positive feedback loop, so the chain reaction of kindness is incentivised for all those who desire it.

    An analytical take is its impossible to find one theorem for all of humanity. Humanity is one massive unknown variable composed of billions of individual unknown variables, so it is foolish to try and derive one formula explaining the emotional reaction of love. How that may be triggered is just so unquantifiable at scale. The answer would be to simply embrace what works for you.

    Not sure if any of these would be right.

  • Stuff like this makes me wonder if the ELIZA effect is a good or bad thing for humanity as a whole.

    Like we can be delusional enough to believe that a chatbot with no greater depth is sentient, but is that better than the alternative? To believe that the only options we can rely on for self worth and emotional connections are other humans?

    Hard to wrap your head around.
