That’s why I don’t want to do it. Anyone born now or later are going to experience a slow painful death due to lack or resources or a quick painful death in a resource war. And if they have any smarts they would hate my guts once they figure out the fate I had knowingly consigned them to by forcing their concious into a meatsuit.

This a good point, and seems very plausible. Technocrats trying to fuck with each other using the courts is almost traditional at this point.

I doubt it. I am not a lawyer in any way. The layman in me, with his tinfoil hat thinks that the FTC are trying to throw this case. So that Meta and anyone else they do this for will have precedent to make a break up in the future harder.

Anyone at the front of my line wanna let me cut in front of them?

This is probably seen through rose tinted glasses, but Halo 3 had the best multi-player experience I think. It has community created maps, game modes, and an a way for anybody with a account to share what they made. From pictures to custom forge maps. I have nothing but fond memories of the experience. So it makes sense to me at least that some people wouldn’t stop playing until Microsoft or Bungie or whoever made them.
