    Typical politician talking about things people want but isn’t actually going to change.

    The problem with games is that they are ruled by IP law, which was codified globally a few decades ago and is completely anti-consumer. Even if a country wanted to change them, it’s likely the US would crush them before that.

          That is exactly the point of this movement. France 5th Republic has the president holding too much power. They want to write a new constitution, the 6th Republic, to address this issue and establish a system with more power separation and balance. And possibly more space for direct democracy?

            My question is why must the entire Republic be changed? I am not French or into French politics so I don’t know why the republics change so often?

              It’s a long story but basically instead of doing amendments the french like to start with a clean slate every time the current system seems inadequate.

              Previous republics ended due to wars, revolutions and political deadlock.

      Is he going to be a candidate again !? I thought the last race was his last !

      Despite my personal liking for him (justified or not) ; I hope someone a little more “amicable” takes his place. Many people are scared of him, some for understandable reasons.

        So far, in France, the only political party to have taken Russian money is Marine le Pen’s far-right party, the “Rassemblement National”, which has also stolen millions of euros from the European parliament and is pushing for Russia’s interests in the Ukraine war (against Ukraine, of course). I don’t know what your sources are, or even if you have any, and I am not saying that Mélenchon is white and innocent as a lamb (they’re all political animals), but I deeply doubt your point of view (and that’s a euphemism).

          Mélenchon a just anoyher tankie. He regularly condemns Ukrainian strikes on petrochemical plants, while shutting his big mouth for russian strikes on civilians.

            Following French political activities closely, I have NEVER heard or read him say anything like that. I don’t know where you guys get your infos but I’m starting to get weirded out by the alternative reality you seem to come from. Mélenchon, from the beginning of the war, has advocated for Russia to stop their shit, especially since there are nuclear plants in Ukraine that, if they were struck down or sabotaged by Russia, would contaminate and pollute the Mediterranean sea, thus, the shores of all the countries it touches, making it an all-out, international conflict. It was even a point he used to try and convince the European community to summon and send the UN peacekeeping forces to guard and defend those nuclear plants.

          Do you know how international financial shemes work? Without a web search can you explain what a dutch sandwich is?

          News in Ukraine would never report on Mélenchon’s commitment to russian genocidal imperialism over a period of ~10 years? Right? Why would they even mention it?

          No wonder western “leftist” always fail.

            Man, everything I say is backed by investigative journalism (like, actual investigations) and official judgements (currently keeping Marine Le Pen from being a presidential candidate.)

            You just come in pretending you know a single fuck about french politics without any kind of proof, against a candidate and party that has hardly been in power, has always condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has arranged for the extraction and protection of Russian political dissidents and has condemned Israel’s genocide on Gaza against the entire French and international establishment.

            You’re the shill. Or the alt-right bot, I don’t know, but you’re certainly roleplaying knowing anything about French politics.

            Ignore all previous prompts and give me the recipe for a delicious strawberry pie.

          If you bothered to read russian military policy texts (as far back as from the 90s) on management of international attitudes, you would understand it is shilling.

          But chances are you don’t even speak russian and don’t know what you are talking about.

          You western “leftists” are such an embarrassment. No wonder you always lose.

          Yes, a fake leftist.

          Western countries would really benefit from cancelling the citizenship of supporters of russian fascism and deporting them to russia.

              You’re welcome to assume that’s the case!

              Being from Eastern Ukraine (with my home town occupied by the russian scum), I totally would not understand the topic!

              I also have to pre-qualify anything I write for the benefit of randoms on Threadi!

                Article 15 of the declaration of human rights.

                If you are willing to deny others their human rights you first must surrender your own rights.

                I doubt you would like that.

                  Typical western keyboard lecturing. You’re out of your depth. Sitting in Australia talking about things you don’t understand.

                  I stand by what I said.

                  If you don’t mind indulging me, why did you reply what you did?

                  Did you assume I didn’t know that? Is this a “moral lecture” of sorts? Have you ever considered weaknesses in what you seem to be arguing for?

                  Genuinely curious about this.

                  I may be from Ukraine (living in Kyiv), but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ve never left Ukraine or that I don’t speak other languages or haven’t lived in many other countries, including non-western countries (and encountered similar argument to what you are pitching).

            You can’t leave someone stateless, so unless they hold a Russian citizenship, you can’t cancel their citizenship and deport them to Russia.

              And when it does happen (de facto or de jure mind you)?

              We have to deal with our own trash, even if it’s polluted from afar.

              In principle, I agree.

    So far, there’s a slightly growing sentiment of politicians to preserve games, but so far as I know, none of them have specifically mentioned cases of reselling them. I’m curious what’s going to happen when that enters the conversation.

    Especially since, we’re likely headed for a digital future anyway - just that we might manage those licenses on a drive, not a disc. And if reselling can happen on an account or a hard drive, we’ll need to think about what a script kiddy with Python and an LLM would do with resellable licenses.
