If you don't mind a copy of their "Lite" version that often ships with audio hardware, you can google a method to generate a valid license key for that version that doesn't require buying anything. ;)

I call it sequel but I've heard squirrel and squeal.

When I first got into VRChat to hang out with some friends, I thought maybe I could survive just playing on desktop for free. Now, a couple thousand dollars later, I own a Valve Index, extra base stations and 4 trackers for full-body tracking.

Dune 2, on our 386. Pretty sure my brother pirated the game from a BBS and at the time I didn't know piracy or BBS' were a thing.

I've found in my experience that over the years my internal voice updated to match how I sound when recorded. So when I hear myself speaking on a recording it's much less jarring now since it feels much more like how I predicted it would sound.

I know this doesn't help your current situation but it's a fun fact I recognized since you mentioned it.

I miss lockpicking, it's so cathartic. I used to have a small set of picks and folks near my desk at the office would often try to pop a padlock I kept around when we were bored. I liked how everyone seemed so interested in the ease with which you can pop many locks.

I'll be pedantic and say that CEOs are paid to think everyone has money to spend. ;)

But I totally agree with you.

Anecdotally, I've bought 3 keys over the years from g2a and 2 of them immediately didn't work. Iirc there's a big button you click during checkout if your key doesn't work and the seller immediately has to provide you with a working one. That's not g2a though, that's just the seller providing you with another cheap key from their collection. G2A is scammy in other ways too (I've yet to be able to cancel their $2 "insurance" fee or whatever they call it the first time, it's been years and I'll probably have to chargeback since their site just throws me errors when I try to cancel. PayPal won't even let me cancel it from their end.)

Why defend them?

How could one make it impossible for others to shun or ostracize them?

When you figure it out you can sell it to Elon Musk for billions.

Yeah this one right here. I run my own little instance, made it easy to choose.

But the system also makes it so that when people act purely selfishly for money, that it results in good outcomes for everyone.

Nobody should take you seriously.
