unfortunately by this point a lot of the more 'extreme' things are outdated. the first few chapters remain a decent starting point.

US has ~0.4 % chance of the person living there.

Yup, the story doesn't really finish at the end of the main questline but even the dlc ending felt kinda unfinished.

good point, i wonder how many people are necessary to do this kind of stuff nowadays. though empress was doing it all by herself, right?

They aren't, but they have the understanding of literal children. They can't process the fact that a pirated game isn't a lost sale, because to them every single person on the planet wants what they have to offer, and if they get it any way OTHER than buying it outright at full price, CLEARLY it must be theft and people are targeting them specifically because what they have is so great.

I pirated Minecraft back in the beta days, decided I loved it, and eventually bought it (before notch went full mask off and the sale of mojang) had it not been for TPB, mojang would have had one less sale.

Same for several others. Hilariously, the only time I ever recieved a c&d was for a game I loved and then canceled the online order for when I got the letter two days later. I wanted to buy it, but the letter made up my mind that I was never giving them money again. Fuck em. Dead rising went downhill after the first one anyway so I didn't miss much.

Executives view life as a zero-sum game.

It's denuvo suing, in a sense if the uncrackable game service they claim is now crackable, they will lose customers

but this is like advertising you are the best and then sue anyone that is better to maintain your position
