  • I didn’t click through into the article, but while the achievement is huge, it is not as much a success story as this post makes it seem and the fight is far from over. Babiš is still in the Parliament, he’s been in opposition, but the current (neoliberalism-friendly, status quo friendly) government is not very popular and Babiš’s party is projected to win the next elections based on polls. He still has about 25-30 % of die-hard voters and other parties are fragmented and disjointed. I fear that he might be able to assemble a government with Communists (who have already quietly tolerated him in a previous government) and right-wing populists…

    Thinking about it now, I think a US-like scenario is quite likely–a first term of madness, oligarchy and corruption, then a brief one-term respite which does not address the systemic issues that got us the first term in the first place, and then another return to the madness. Though I’ve also heard speculation that seeing Trump’s antics in the second term is what might make people here less likely to vote for Babiš.

    Okay, I see your point, but I’d still say it’s a better license than Steam’s/Epic’s, because the games are DRM free (unless they’ve changed that and I’m not aware of it) and so once I’ve downloaded them, I can then play them whether or not GOG still exists or my “license to use GOG services” was revoked.

    you can run most Steam or EGS games without having their respective clients installed

    This is not consistent with my personal experience (though admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve tried – maybe a lot of games on Steam are now DRM free).
