You probably also had people call to complain about the church "ruining the character of the neighborhood" by doing this.

Yeah, but it is going to be an adjustment for society to decide what to do when a large segment of the population will never be economically or otherwise productive.

On the family level, you see some supporting of other family members. However, it becomes a lot harder as you go beyond people's immediate kin.

The problem is that humans are really bad at caring for unproductive people. If you use wealth generated by natural resources as a proxy for wealth generated by robot labor, humans have a bad record of distributing the material wealth.

The problem is that any job is going to be targeted for automation in high income countries because the cost of the worker is going to be far higher than the equipment.

I wouldn't ditch Windows entirely, but I could see the business case of making sure your game can run on SteamOS.

Or the recent wins of fascist parties in Europe.

That only became a thing recently with the ability to buyback stock preventing stock dilution, the low cost of buying and selling stock, and a shit bond market.

And if there isn't a competitor on the horizon, why invest in R&D?

They can, but it doesn't provide any benefit to the game based on how card games like M:tG work.

if you don't consider games being made as part of the commons as an inherently good thing then we have a philosophical disagreement that goes beyond the scope of this discussion.

I defined a type of game being made as part of the commons as being an inherently good thing.

You are still talking past my assertion that a deck building card game is defined by the card pool, which is usually designed by a singular group of people.

And you keep ignoring my statements about the system being more important than the individual parts. A designed system doesn't get the value from FOSS development that other game systems get.
