Easier to keep shares online 24/7 with a dockerised we app vs a desktop application I need to be logged in to a system for it to run. Best of both worlds would be a Nicotine+ like desktop fronted app that talked to the server component, but I don't think there is such a ui app for slskd.

Downloading has never been stealing to be fair, that has always been emotive framing for copyright supporting propaganda.
Doesn't Anna's Archive mirror libgen amongst other things?
But there are games that have the same problems today, they just look better because they have higher resolution assets but as still riddled with bugs and control issues.
Maximising their return on investment presumably figuring that the increased fee will bring in more money despite some customers cancelling.
You are right my argument was predicated on the price rise being justified by piracy not the cause of it. If they don't like ESPNs pricing model can't they license their content elsewhere?
Better by which objective metric? Amount of content? Total size of game code and data? Got to disagree with you otherwise.
I'd argue that is true of any generation, a few games are must plays and endure as such, then there are many that are just okay even at the time and then a bunch of crap it's hardly worth playing.
Yeah, that isn't how economics work, they increased the price because they believe it will be a more profitable price point. I guess they could argue they lost the price sensitive customers to piracy and are just giving up on that segment and focusing on the people who just pay whatever?
The whole idea of copyright is a granting a state backed monopoly which is the antithesis of a free market as I understand it.
