Climate change is not going to be literally the end of the world, or even human civilization. At the worst we'll see mass immigration to the global north and the centre equatorial band become more difficult to inhabit.
Farm yields will probably drop to some extent, and we might see a few wars, but we are fairly well equipped to survive.

The same thing except you then have to pay for the disk, distribution and worry about stock and so on.

until you have a library that you can rent games for free close to you.

It's called a torrenting client

I had a similar experience. Loved it then, like it even more now.

It's a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn't exist at the time.

I'm not sure that using the entire QA staff of the world's largest agglomeration of Dev studios on a single game only qualifies as "not cutting corners". That's surely going above and beyond.

There will of course be different sources of information, but that does not mean that they will present a fair and balanced spread of ideas. The capitalist class will push their own interests. A single owner is not required for that to occur

Under capitalism, the capitalist class controls the media, and can use their wealth to control the political class.

A democracy can only make choices so far as it's voters are informed, and when a group controls most sources of information, it can control the democracy as a whole.

That's a misrepresentation of old English. Man used to be neutral, and was modified by were and wif respectively for man and woman. Wife comes from woman, not the other way around.

The ol' head in the sand approach

It's obviously Wendy though

Well, you've got to get rid of it some way, and while charity might systematically be a problem there are plenty that do genuine good.
