Didn't Italy elect a far right neo-fascist government?

Hopefully gamers take notes.

    Italy has always been a bit odd - I remember a group of scientists were convicted of manslaughter because they didn't predict an earthquake that killed a few hundred people.

    Dude. That happened way back in ...2009!
    Whatthefuck is wrong with people? At least it got overturned.

    I remember that! But yeah, it didn't make any sense back then either.

    The USGS still claims, as it did in 2009, that earthquakes are unpredictable. At best they've been able to communicate when/where seismic events happen slightly faster than they propagate through the earth.

    They did! I’m curious about the overlap between retro-gaming enthusiasts and fascists though. Do fascists really care about art and its preservation?

    Fascists care about setting precedent and "purchased vaguely illegal content" is some great precedent.

    This just also is a smart attack because the usual crowd is going to come out to insist that it is OWN's fault for playing Nintendo games and piracy is the greatest problem facing the world and that Nintendo Switch Online(TM) is a great service.

    Its the same as when the christofacists attacked Pornhub via Visa et al in the US. Everyone hates revenge porn and child porn (well, except for certain heads of state...) so nobody is going to complain but it made it very clear the path to destroy content that goes against the fascists' interests.
