| While technically impressive, this is also illegal. (unless you have redistribution permission from the authors.) |

| Yup. I was going to finally buy half life 2 today but now I’ve seen this I guess I won’t need to. Hard times at Valve, I suppose they’ll have to find more children to start gambling with them. |

| ▲ | fragmede 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | But what about the people who aren't idiots and can read sarcasm without the /s? I reflexively downvote ever comment I come across with a /s. People aren't idiots until you treat them like one. | | |
| ▲ | alt227 28 minutes ago | parent [-] | | But what about people who are in different parts of the world and don't inherently understand your meaning? That is terrible behaviour to downvote the notation. Text is notorious for not conveying context. Sarcasm can easily be seen as serious by some people, why is why we have the /s notation to make it obvious. People aren't idiots, they come from different backgrounds, locations, languages, and all use English as a common tongue. Have some consideration and stop thinking you are so big and clever. | | |
| ▲ | account42 2 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The best sarcasm is exactly the one where it could be interpreted as written and people misreading it is part of the fun. If you are going to add sarcasm marks to make sure that absolutely everyone gets what you are intending then whats the point of using sarcasm in the first place instead of clearly writing what you mean? |

| ▲ | haunter 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ah yeah the famously equal acts of pirating a game VS promoting illegal unregulated gambling for millions of people (and that's just the tip of the iceberg). That's why corporations can get away with everything. |
