cmeow,

Valve is in a position where they don’t have to do anything and can still earn several billions per year. $7.6B USD last year, I believe.

Return to red toryism. Specifically fiscal conservatism and progressive social values, which is what currently fractured PC parties are supposed to be. List of some items I had in mind:

  • Higher progressive taxes on the ultra-wealthy
  • National pipeline strategy from coast to coast to New Brunswick refinery so Canada can increase its energy independence from the US and other malicious geopolitical partners like Saudi Arabia
  • Greater focus on nuclear and renewable energy through subsidies and tax credits
  • Fix health care system by increasing funding to schools, opening up more residency spots, and giving health care staff more bonuses or perks to prevent brain drain
  • Higher military spending to surveil and protect Arctic waters from Russia, also make it a prestigious employer that people want to work for with greater advancement opportunities and opportunities to retain experienced staff
  • Temporary shutdown of immigration system except for highly skilled workers in high demand industries
  • Gun buyback and confiscation programs, specifically in urban centres
  • More infrastructural projects to better urban transportation systems
  • Justice system should be less lenient towards repeat and/or high severe crimes - they should be locked up for a long time
  • Increase spending onto education system to produce more skilled and more productive members of society, perhaps instill an artificial quota on low demand industries on post-secondary schools to prevent young adults from choosing unproductive majors
  • EDIT: Allotocate more subsidies/tax credits to developer who take on building higher density housing, allow apartment/condo boards to be fascist-like to ensure health living spaces for its residents
  • National reformation program to round up all the substance abusive homeless people and reform them into productive members for training in landscaping, skilled trades, cooking, warehouses, clerks
  • Reward First Nations tribes accordingly who have put more emphasis into improving their social issues through more social workers, compliance with the national reformation program, etc.
cmeow,

100%. This is a collective effort and since the market is mostly 20-40 yo demographic with disposable income, it’s up to them to do the right thing.

cmeow,

Even then, deceased people’s accounts can go to their next of kin. GOG does this with provided legal documentations and will.

cmeow,

GOG user here too, they can transfer ownership of deceased’s games over to the next of kin if they have the proper legal docs and will. It’s one of the last DRM-free bastions of PC gaming.

cmeow,

Great post. Even if GOG was to go under, they’ve said before they’d give everyone a heads up before they close. Just like when Playism closed in 2021.
