All video games are made by technology corporations! Except for Open TTD of course.

Asshole, I never said that. I'm well aware TTD was originally a commercial product, that's my entire point. You can't make games for free, and yes, I value video games more than continued lifespan because art allows me to ignore a reality I despise for being defined by everyone else.

You don't have the right to fucking judge me for the tiny little quirk of liking a game, I only mentioned it because it was mildly relevant.

Actually, I believe you can make games for free to consumers, and I believe systems inspired by solarpunk would, if anything, do a better job of encouraging this over our current political system. Art, including video games, doesn't just disappear in solarpunk societies.

I'm not judging you for liking a game, I never said anything of the sort, lol. Although I find it hard not to judge you if you just bark insults.
