I don't beg for my hobbies, that sounds more like an addiction

If I spend 6k hours coding a project and was making noise because I was about to have access to my source code taken away ...

would you say i'm an addict?

You should make noise because, unless you signed some particular contract, the code is your intellectual property and it's illegal to just take it away from you.

I bought Stadia and read the contract, I was under no illusion that I could export save files or progress to other platforms. You don't own the games you play, if you cared you'd buy from GoG.

It's not that far fetched. A lot of people rely on third party services to host and manage their source code.

And every time people are advised to keep a local copy. I have a bunch of stuff on an Amazon Glacier account for convenience, but I still keep an HDD in the closet

I mean I think in Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer there’s money to be spent? If it’s anything like GTA 5. Has he spent money on expensive cowboy hats and the like?
