You're right, laws are dumb and I will just hunt down the scalpers myself.

Which is the problem with every law. If the caveat you're pointing out is inherent to the system in which the solution is being proposed, it's not a reason in itself not to try to improve things. You're letting perfection get in the way of progress. I won't write a fake law to satisfy some BS internet litmus test, precisely because I'm not a lawmaker. That doesn't invalidate my opinion that this is a problem that should be solved. It also doesn't keep Valve from putting some kind of anti-scalping clause in their terms and suing the shit out of people who violate it, which again, is *civil* law and has absolutely nothing to do with the hypothetical criminal law you're asking for.

This is a "no true Scotsman" argument. Name one law in the history of government that didn't have potential for loopholes.

Scalpers aren't their actual customers so they can get fucked

That doesn't mean there shouldn't be. Morality informs legality, not the other way around. Also lawsuits are civil, that's breaking a contract with another entity; "breaking the law" refers to criminal.

Is there not a way to use the deck as a controller?

Fuck scalpers. Opportunistic pieces of shit, all of them. I hope Valve sues them into homelessness.

"Savvy" is both the noun for the trait and the adjective for someone who possesses it.

And of course they're already being scalped for 6x MSRP on eBay… I fucking hate humanity.

Yeah with frame gen off it's still like 110-120 with dips in the high double digits

This is anecdotal but I don't get all the frame gen hate, I've had to tweak it a little bit toward the quality setting but everything looks normal and it's totally smooth in maxed Cyberpunk at 165 fps
