Yet the Edomites were forcefully converted to Judaism in the 2nd century BCE https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-edomites

It is a religion with converts even if they are pickier about who is converted, and being the oldest of the Abrahamic religions its converts go back millennia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_converts_to_Judaism

with modern converts even stirring debate over their right to "return": https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/2013-02-19/ty-article/.premium/peruvian-converts-denied-aliyah/0000017f-f79e-d887-a7ff-fffea6480000

They relish in committing war crimes, they don't see us as people

Not true, not all conquests involved erasing the indigenous peooples. At least not for the Muslim conquest of the Levant according to Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister:

“The fellahin are not descendants of the Arab conquerors, who captured Eretz Israel and Syria in the seventh century CE. The Arab victors did not destroy the agricultural population they found in the country. They expelled only the alien Byzantine rulers, and did not touch the local population. Nor did the Arabs go in for settlement. Even in their former habitations the Arabs did not engage in farming…their whole interest in the new countries was political, religious and material: to rule, to propagate Islam, and to collect taxes…the Jewish farmer, like any other farmer, was not easily torn from his soil…Despite the repression and suffering the rural population remained unchanged.” [7]

Ben Gurion is quoted by Shlomo Sand in his book https://blogs.umb.edu/joinercenter/2012/10/09/review-of-shlomo-sand-the-invention-of-the-jewish-people-london-verso-2009-translated-by-yael-lotan/

Even on Pro or Enterprise editions? I can't imagine businesses tolerating this never mind governments.

Only if this standard is applied universally. I agree.

I must be in the minority that prefers digital and went digital for good since the 7th generation, SCII HD bought on the X360 still plays on XSX. I only buy physical when it is an import not available in the store in my country such as DOAX3, thank you Play Asia. I have a diskless XBox and Playstation, so I play the imported games on the Switch. If I didn't have a Switch and if the Playstation versions weren't more censored I might see a reason to get a disk drive for it.
