I don't beg for my hobbies, that sounds more like an addiction

If I spend 6k hours coding a project and was making noise because I was about to have access to my source code taken away ...

would you say i'm an addict?

[ElCheapo]

You should make noise because, unless you signed some particular contract, the code is your intellectual property and it's illegal to just take it away from you.

I bought Stadia and read the contract, I was under no illusion that I could export save files or progress to other platforms. You don't own the games you play, if you cared you'd buy from GoG.

It's not that far fetched. A lot of people rely on third party services to host and manage their source code.

And every time people are advised to keep a local copy. I have a bunch of stuff on an Amazon Glacier account for convenience, but I still keep an HDD in the closet

I mean I think in Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer there’s money to be spent? If it’s anything like GTA 5. Has he spent money on expensive cowboy hats and the like?
