They lose a tourist attraction I would say at the most. Nothing of value changes (unfortunately.)

But they even wouldn't, would they? It's not like Versailles or Schoenbrunn don't get visited becayse they're inhabited by a royal?
About Charles being an especially scummy landlord? Or is this an attempt at sealioning?

Well, you're right on one part, all landlords are scummy. :^)

Here's an easy flowchart for you.
Are they Landlords? -> Yes -> They are bad people.
Are they Landlords? -> No -> Then they aren't bad for the same reasons as landlords are bad intrinsically.

If you can't understand how landlords are fundamentally bad for society, it might be you who needs help. Anyone who's ever had to rent a "cheap" apartment in order to not be homeless can tell you that even the least terrible landlord is still exploiting and mistreating their tenants significantly.

I see you have run out of arguments and have moved to purely emotion. Weak.
Just to stay on the main focus of this discussion forum, witch is gaming, If the cost to develop, print and ship a hypothetical game (let's name it Half Life 3) is 12 million, and it is sold for $60, every single copy sold after the 200,000 mark would be purely removing resources from society without creating nothing beneficial to it. Obviously it goes to every market.
Gabe Newell, the landlords, the restaurant owner, the guy selling umbrellas on the subway, they all are part of this. It is all the same in different scales. This is capitalism.
Makes sense to hate landlords just like hating any other capitalist initiative.
Do not makes sense to hate landlords and be cool to every other extra profit people are making on other markets.

I gave up arguing with you, because it would be like trying to play chess with a pigeon.
I don't know if you are trolling, or whether you believe that all landlords are evil and all non landlords aren't evil. But frankly I have better things to do with my time than to figure that out.

Yes, please tell the class how much you totally don't care, and try to convince everyone how much busier you are than to argue with some chick on the internet. We ALL believe you, trust me.
Class? I'm not here for a class.
I figure that only someone paid by the hour can help you figure out why thinking:
Are they Landlords? -> Yes -> They are bad people.
Are they Landlords? -> No -> Then they aren't bad for the same reasons as landlords are bad intrinsically.
Is a problem for you. Black and white thinking is a common symptom in many mental health issues.
Similarly if you said it, but don't actually believe it, then it's going to take even more therapy to work through that.
Unfortunately I've not been trained in treating mental health conditions, so I won't be continuing. But good luck.

It's funny as fuck reading gbatemp's best clown screeching over landlords. Probably never owned anything in his life, just rented.
For everyone else having legit concerns about landlords: there are millions of people who need to stay somewhere but can't/don't want to sink their roots in. What are they going to do? Buy a house every single time they move?
Not to mention that being a landlord doesn't mean sit down and count money, but you're legally responsible for the upkeep of the house: fixing broken things, for example.
The "not a landlord means you are a good person" was the thing that made me realize they were mentally unwell.
It would make them very vulnerable to bad people, as their only criteria was "are they a landlord?".
There are some really shit landlords of course, but I know three landlords that take great care of their tenants.
It's that responsibility that has put me off being a landlord.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
