So it's just an arbitrary restriction as a "fück you" to people using FF

You can. I've reduced my language list down from the default of "every single one". You should probably still keep "undetermined" selected as a "language", otherwise a lot of stuff people haven't actually tagged with a language won't show up.

We all need schooling. We learn as long as we live.

He even called it "Alumium" before that, which I think is even better

Indeed, the right to make copies are often licenced (although you can also sell that right) because it is explicitly written in some conventions (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention?useskin=vector) that the copyright resides with the creator to begin with. I don't think the Berne Convention deals with the option of transferring intellectual property and the copyright to them, but I'm assuming it's mostly defined well enough in some contract law or other.

Yes, you own the information on it. You don't own the rights to distribute it to others, but you bought the information and the right to personally use it. When you buy a painting, do you only have a licence to view it?

Not sure if you actually meant logarithmic or exponential. An exponential tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot more in tax, while a logarithmic tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot less in tax. See x^2^ versus log~2~(x) (or any logarithm base, really). The exponential (x^2^) would start slow and then increase fast, and the logarithmic one would start increasing fast and then go into increasing slowly.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I've just not replaced the files in any directory at all, just start the game from the download location for the depot (one should be able to rename the folder for it to the version) and then you keep any number of versions to play available by just going into that download location and starting the game.

At least that's how it has worked for me. I just thought that was easier than having to replace files every time.

Are you downgrading to several different versions? Because I've used the console variant and just run the game from the download folder and Steam doesn't update it

Do we not use our PC as a heater to kill two birds with one stone?
