4 months ago@stabby_cicada I would not call culture any single manufactured product made by a private company primarily for profit. Culture, to me, is the sum of activities of a group of people in a certain area during a certain period. Making you think you’re missing on culture because you can’t obtain a game, an album or a movie is, to me, a strange capitalistic distortion of the notion of culture. I do not see “pirating” anything as bad though.
@Damage In the sense I see it, you cannot have access to culture or not. Whatever you use to do or avoid doing, and the values you transmit or avoid transmitting, this is the culture of the human groups you belong to. Some people do not have access to some kinds of goods or ways of self-education and information, but they are not barred from culture. Some groups produce video games, some others consume video games, that is indeed part of their culture. That is the way I meant it.
