  • The consensus isn’t a dislike of DRM in general but a special hatred of Denuvo. Denuvo is especially bad because of how much a performance hog it is. The idea that it’s protection will be circumvented eventually but the people who bought copies will have worse performance is the frustrating part. Additionally, Linux users who change their proton version can be slapped with lock outs(usually temp) on games they purchased with no recourse.






  • You are misunderstanding what they mean by sanction. In this case it’s just a penalty that could threaten you if you were ever within the courts jurisdiction. They don’t mean that the US would impose a sanction on your home country.

    The courts could rule you in contempt and have a warrant issued in your name. If you ever were inside of the jurisdiction you would then be potentially arrested and held until you could face criminal charges for contempt. Extradition is a thing as well but that really doesn’t happen unless it’s a major crime both countries recognize.












  • We do tax capital gains. It’s just at a lower rate than regular income and the first $50k or so is 0%. Some states tax capital gains as regular income.

    They do a shell game by using their losses to offset their gains.

    This would be something anyone could do but most people don’t have the ability to let stocks sit for over a year before taking the capitol loss strategically.

    The system is built for the wealthy to have less risk.
