Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Of course piracy preserves old games. Also piracy is not a problem when it is miniscule. The issue is when piracy becomes the norm, so that these companies will be pushed towards more locked systems (consoles exclusives) and abandon PC. Some may even call for androud style locking up on PC.
Google is already trying the latter with the Web DRM stuff they're trying to shove down everyone's throats (and why I stopped using Chrome and Chromium — I've been daily driving Firefox for a while now and replaced Chromium with Brave for when I need a Chromium browser).
Streaming happened after piracy…but then piracy still happens to keep streaming in check it seems. It’s like that looming ‘did you want to make some money or no money?’ Threat On the greedy distributors. Has absolutely fuck all to do with the artist.
