One half of the post is prepper mentality and the other is the rant about good old times.
The world changes forever, and no amount of throwing back will get you where the world has been. And no, Internet isn’t going anywhere, it’s not a singular clearly defined entity, but rather a giant decentralized system.
Nothing, just a year in the future
To be fair, piracy does drive down sales, as some of the people who would otherwise buy the game do pirate it.
Even still, word of mouth is a great way to compensate for that effect; also, culture really shouldn’t be reserved to those who have the means.

Makes me wanna buy the game even though I know literally nothing about it.
Hopefully citizens of a less capitalist space
Oh, if it’s pure “people support”, let’s remove the pledge store and just have donation button. One that doesn’t give you anything in game, but supports the project.
Star Citizen uses clever psychology and social engineering to make people spend obscene amounts of money on in-game ships. I know people who are so catches and addicted to this shit they spend their family savings on the new ships. And that is by design.
They also regularly wipe the Persistent Universe for a reason, and the reason is not this bullshit aUEC farming, but the fact that ships bought for real money do not get wiped, stimulating purchases for your very real cash.
By going to release and having equal persistence for ships bought by all means, they’ll immediately slash their profits so, so bad, and they know it. They don’t want to go release.
Living outside land of the free, I have like 4 grocery stores and 1 supermarket within 15min walking distance, and I don’t live in a dense neighborhood.
I’d argue the issue is not the AI but capitalism.
AI is good, AI companies are evil.
Star Citizen has long history of ship pre-purchases long before release

And yes, KDE Connect ftw
