Granted, but GabeN proceeds to buy GOG.com and renamed the site Goode Olde Gaben. Everytime you login to the site, post on the forums, make a purchase, you have to say the mantra "It's DRM-free".

I wish every scammer would fall for another scammer's scam, which in turn get scammed and so on and so on.

morolf: I wish for Steam going bankrupt and consumers refusing to buy games with DRM.

dtgreene: Granted: Consumers refuse to buy games at all, and as a result the entire gaming industry goes bankrupt. Hence, no new games are made, and the only way to get games is via used physical copies or piracy (which is still illegal).

I wish the copyright term were shortened to 28 years, with no renewals allowed.
Granted, but then a revolution erupts and it become public property instantly.

Granted, but the only effect of this is a continuous evolution of scams which are getting ever more sophisticated (hard to scam a scammer after all), so it's becoming ever harder for normal people not to fall prey to scams.

I wish for a time machine so I can travel back to the 1st century and find out if the gospels are reliable about Jesus.

Granted, but for whatever reason the particular era you want to travel to is off-limits for whatever reason.

Or, granted, but unfortunately traveling that far back in time takes a few years, and it takes a few years to then go back to the present. (The time taken is in your reference frame, not that of the outside world.)

I wish general relativity were easier to understand.
Granted, but you now expect to understand everything else as well, the phone and door bell never stops ringing from people after your limitless knowledge.

I wish The Terminator series timeline made sense again.
Granted, but we still have T3 and Salvation.

I wish Skynet's avatar in Salvation wasn't so bland.
Granted, its now Denis Healey the British MP who ordered the creation of the British military's Skynet satellite system listing his favourite books and songs.

I wish there was a secret room underneath the UN building were world leaders solve problems by slugging it out in a wrestling ring.
Granted, but most of the fights are over how exactly to cover for their pedo-operatives.

I wish for a world-wide protest on the censorship of prophet-Muhammad's face.

MichaelD.965: I wish for a world-wide protest on the censorship of prophet-Muhammad's face.
Granted, but enough Muslims find it so offensive that they murder every single one of the protesters, and also happen to kill people who are not involved in the protests.

I wish that religious people would not have such a negative attitude towards atheists, and would be able to have a respectful conversation without either side having to try to convert the other.
Granted, only after 300 years of mass war and genocide do the last 5 humans left (1 religious, 1 atheist & 3 antagonistic) agree to sit down and civilly discus the matter.

I wish Michael Crichton was still alive so the Westworld tv show would have been kept on the right track.
Granted, Westworld lasts for 15 seasons; but for authenticity, use the massive profits built up over the years to build the park for real and the robots on it become the first Terminators.

I wish the same for Gene Roddenberry.

MichaelD.965: I wish the same for Gene Roddenberry.
Granted, you have been sent back to time to when Gene Roddenberry was still alive.

I wish that Stephen Hawking make a new major discovery despite his current deceased condition.
Granted, in his archive of notes the secrets of warp drive and time travel are unveiled as is the fact he stole all his major discovery's from sir Frank Whittle and only left him the jet engine because he cried about that one.

I wish Ostriches would gain the power of flight.
Granted, they poop on all of our cars and convertibles are no longer viable designs;

I wish elephants learned to speak without getting any dumber or any sudden intelligence boost. Just elephants as smart as they are now, with potential to get smarter, but they can make complex sounds as a means of communicating with humans.
Granted, but they never shut up and are incredibly boring.

Wish everyone a happy birthday.
Granted, but every unbirthday is filled with endless suffering, which leads to mass suicide.

I wish fattening foods tasted bad.
