"Valve reached out to us because they were looking for a fast, international payment method for Steam users in emerging gaming markets in countries like India, China, and Brazil," Desmond explained. "As the internet's universal currency, Bitcoin will allow Steam to easily reach gamers in every market around the world – without the high fees or the risk of chargeback fraud that come with card payments."

Гейропейское быдло нужно еще сильнее ебать DRM-ами, че-то они там охуели.
I was told you guys might appreciate my story: I run a relatively small Minecraft no-rules server. The purpose of the server is simulate politics and let people try out ideologies and build nations.
That being said we allow all types to play on the server and are extremely loosely moderated.
Then a month ago all but all of my patience was tested. An trans-individual came to the server and created the 'Devoted Safe Space Project' which can be summarized as his/her attempt to create social justice... in a block game... with characters with no genitals.
She then decided to declare war against the entire server because a player called her a 'fag' and demanded the administration take action against that player.
She expected us to moderate our community and censor their speech so he/she felt safer. We let the players moderate themselves, end of story.
I don't understand how someone can demand the world be shaped around what they desire and what they think they need. I had conversations with this individual and told them that they could shape the world if they played the game, built up alliances, and enforced laws that outlawed bigotry or racism. Instead they constantly complained to the admin team to do their dirty work for them.
Ironically, even progressives and anti-harassment activists have adopted the tactic: the conservative blogger Chuck Johnson — of whom The Intersect is no fan — was rightly outraged when Gawker published the (irrelevant, unconfirmed) years-old rumor that he’d defecated on the floor once in college. In explaining why he published the post, Gawker’s Greg Howard wrote jokily that Johnson had “been caught lying many times before” and “it’s more important than ever to fact check.”
А в пидарашке можно было бы только поаплодировать, если бы кто-то насрал на пол в очередном быдловузе.

Shame that so few people hold any philosophy that survives their sense of morality at it's logical extreme. May I suggest the Non-Aggression Principle?
