Nobody can have it because it's just possible that someone who doesn't deserve it may get it.

That's the conservative rule for everything, ever.
Can't be having The Poors being able to get Healthcare. Or education. Or apparently, safe food, safe medicine, safe working conditions, clean water, clean air, safe skies, or access to nature.

This is, remarkably, one of the worst takes I have ever seen.

Everything is politics. Especially art. Narrative and storytelling is always going to be political. There are games about war between actual countries on this earth and you think games aren't political? Maybe candy crush isn't and that's all you play. But there are political choices made throughout the development of a game, and they can and should be scrutinized through that lens.

Some games are more political than others, definitely. That's fine. But any game with more than a facile narrative better be something we can talk politics about or it's a huge waste of time.

Even this discussion of whether politics belongs/is possible to remove from games is a political topic. Polygon was a good site that often had interesting takes. Iâ(TM)ll be sad to see it turned to AI slop.

I upgraded my video card recently. I need four DisplayPort outputs so I picked a Nvidia RTX A2000 (old generation, not Ada). The prices on ebay.co.uk looked good value. Then I looked at the seller, and he had about a dozen of these cards for sale. I guess Bitcoin or crypto mining costs have reached some threshold where these cards no longer make money.

(The A2000 is a power-limited card drawing only 70 watts, intended for workstations, but I guess that might also make it suitable for mining.)
