Advertising is a drain on society that encourages regular people to choose and act suboptimally.
There are absolutely allowed to be laws around advertising and people absolutely have the right to be annoyed when those laws are not properly protecting them.
Video games are no longer a wild frontier, it’s a 50 year old established market that absolutely deserves to be legislated into proper conduct.

You do have a right to criticize bad business.

If you willfully stick your arm into a raging fire after decades of warnings not to, You don’t get to complain about the fire after it hurts you, or how much it hurt you, or anything else.
You deserve nothing but your mockery for your own stupidity.
You’ve made your choice, now shit down, and shut up, because no one wants to hear it.

You, for one, seem way better adjusted than anybody who willy-nilly sticks their arm into raging fires.

I know not to buy from known shitty companies, that they only get shittier with time.
It doesnt take a particularly massive intellectual might to figure that out, but apparently that is just expecting to much from the average gamer.

I just don’t understand what the takeaway is from the figure of speech “if you… then you have no right to…”
I’m this case, clearly not everyone knows. And if complaining is prescribed as forbidden then fewer will know going forward. It’s possible that some people aren’t gamers immersed in the dogmatic culture but looking to try something out.
