If Meta gets away with this or gets off lightly, I’d love for this to set a future legal precedent for future piracy cases.

Unless they just straight up want to say “Piracy and copyright laws only apply to poor people” in a court of law.

The Crysis games have been dead to me since Crysis 2. Crysis 1 is still a blast to play even today.

$10 isn’t a high price, but it starts to hurt when you lump it on top of all the other fees and expenses most people have every month. Also that’s in US dollars - here in Canada, for example, the price is 50% higher before tax. It adds up fast.

My email is used constantly every day for both personal use and my self-employed business. It costs me $1.50CAD per month.

When the money stops flowing.

Still about $20 short of what the minimum living wage is for my city. Fantastic.

Not in Utica, no; it’s an Albany expression.

Thank you!! 😁

Discord and Tumblr.

Om nom nom!

Thank you!! I sometimes post things I make either here on Beehaw or lemmy.world, but I don’t post everything I make. The URL in my profile will lead to my full portfolios if you want to check them out :D

No AI involved. It’s a 3D scene made in Blender.

Thank you! :D
