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.
Based.
Makes me wanna buy the game even though I know literally nothing about it.
Windows -> Manjaro.
Never looked back. Debian works on a laptop, amazing too!
Add Linux on top to finish them all off
That's a good take; I'm just not always competent enough to see similar flaws in depictions of LGBTQ+ relationships, but I can absolutely imagine it is true.
Let's put it this way: all relationship depictions, straight or gay, should stop pushing a certain model or expectation.
I just know and see it firsthand from the side of straights, which is why I focus on it so much, but I'm open to discussions on how it is on the LGBTQ+ camp.
Healthy representation matters a lot to shape societies we all want to live in.
You might wanna read something again before claiming that.
The text contains an answer - because heterosexual relationships, like any other ones, are very different from each other, and we should represent more than a traditional nuclear family.
Though, judging by your nickname, it's a low-effort troll commentary anyway, so I'll cut it at that.
The word "straight" is pretty blurry to begin with.
Does it refer to the highly traditional hetero relationships? Is it trans-exclusive? Can the female-led relationship be straight? Is polygamy straight? I feel like the answer will depend on the person.
The word is often used and abused by the conservatives, which may alter its perception. The word "heterosexual", on its hand, is pretty strictly defined.
As such, the meaning of "non-straight heterosexual" also alters depending on context, which adds to the confusion. It's a bit of a mess.
Personally, I refer to myself as "straight" simply for the sake of brevity, even though I am a trans-inclusive heterosexual male into FLR, which many wouldn't define as "straight".
Heterosexual relationships might absolutely intersect with LGBTQ+ - for example, because one or some of the partners are trans or bi/pan.
I might have created a wrong impression that I aim to compare the struggles of LGBTQ+ people to someone else's. I never meant that. I just said that even in heterosexual relationships, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, and both acceptance and representation of various forms of heterosexual relationships also differ wildly between cultures.
And I wish we could have a higher share of positive and kind representation of all kinds of relationships, including different forms of heterosexual ones.
I'm talking exactly about increasing the share of healthy hetero representation - as opposed to unhealthy hetero representation and not to LGBTQ+ representation.
Again, this is not a competition, and I do not mean to eat out anything from the LGBTQ+ representation. Supporting one doesn't mean not supporting the other.
It might be the time to make the world better for everyone - while still aware that some people have it worse.
On that particular scale, there are heterosexual relationships in which women are not just fully emancipated, but actually leading the relationship, serving the role of a main provider etc. Those are often referred to as either female-led relationships (FLR) or gender role reversal.
Women in such relationships are often mistreated and misunderstood, and men are outright harrassed and attacked for their choice to take a "weaker" side, for their "feminity", they are, at best, seen like a burden, and at worst, seen as a punchbag for "not being a man". I've very much seen both in my culture, and for all I know, in other places there are signs of something similar.
In media, at least from what I've seen, such relationships are almost universally portrayed as an unhappy woman and a broken, emasculated, capricious man, as something unhappy and dysfunctional.
Same was said about Windows 7 as people protested the switch to Windows 10. New telemetry, aggressively forced updates, and other factors made Windows 10 a nightmare for many. Yet now, when Windows 11 is even worse, people start thinking of Windows 10 the way they thought of Windows 7.
Essentially, Microsoft can make Windows worse and worse for as long as the previous iteration is better and people got used to it.
