Into the goy pit. You decide you let only governments rule and corporations heel to make money and follow regulations or eat deep shit. You let just corpos rule and they throw out every single regulation written and spawned from blood mutilation and more for the sake of feels good profit intent.

So if you ideologically refuse the decent parts of the government just to spite them and then let corpos rule, you get a weak regulatory body, unregulated ass fucking of consumers and become a veritable goyim cattle fuck.

This. It's just no longer aligned with reality, because it is no longer applying to just large corporations with equally large legal teams that are expected to come to agreements.
There should still be something to force some behavioral constraints on large companies (the GPL for instance has prevented the fate of Minix from happening to other software) and those seeking to engage in active fraud, but the current system does not work for the end user and comparatively smaller legal entities due to gradual scope creep and negligence (since governments do actively benefit from allowing companies in their domain to misapply IP law, such as goretex patents, and often patents are just expected to be tested in court).

you should be able to tell at a glance if a multiplayer game is going to do poorly or not.

yep, another classic.
the point is that the actual scam is the FOMO game itself, its designed to keep wringing more and more money from you by making you think "oh but the limited time items might never be available again! I HAVE TO BUY THEM" while the actual games themselves are extremely barebones and only exist as a vessel for other players to see your limited items (which is to enable the FOMO hysteria in the first place)
at best all SKG does is make it so that the analogical banner ad stays up after the scam fails (the company releasing server software)

IP law should be changed heavily or just straight up removed.
Maybe have it actually expire in people's lifetimes? That could be good!

A corporation ultimately lives and dies by how it treats its customers as well as other competing companies.
