  Did you even read the explanation part of the article???

  Thanks for the grammar correction while ignoring literally all context though. You certainly put me in my place milord.

  In all seriousness, fuck Google. These pieces of garbage have completely abandoned they’re Don’t be Evil motto and have become full-fledged supervillains.

  But at least artisanal sodas and a separate counter/line to order a beer?

  Or… maybe development costs have just gotten stupidly high? There are a lot of great indie games for a few bucks that pack a heck of a lot more fun and experimentation than a lot of the cookie cutters garbage coming out of a lot of big studios lately. I’m honestly sick of every facet of my life trying to bleed me dry of any spare cent I get.

  Were you around in 1989 when Exxon basically destroyed Prince William Sound with an iceberged oil tanker through a comically evil set of circumstances including a possibly drunken captain, faulty equipment which languished for months, promised equipment that was never installed, and a total lack of planning for contingency? They dumped like 11 million gallons of oil and were assigned massive punitive damages of 5 billion bucks?

  …and then it got appealed all the way to the supreme court, where it got busted down to 500 million spread over a time which actually allowed them to see profitability for causing one of the largest ecological disasters in history.

  I don’t mean to sound jaded, and I truly appreciate your optimism. But the deck is no less stacked thirty years later and our political system is still bought and paid for. Let’s roll the dice and hope you come out on top of this one, friend. I’ll cheer alongside you.

  Thanks. I appreciate that.

  …can we just skip to the part where Amazon pays less than a fractional percent in fines and proceeds with business as usual? I just feel like the charade has grown tiresome at this point.

  Holy crap. He seriously has the most punchable looking face I’ve seen in months.

  I am just so damn sick of every CEO.

  Thank you for fighting a good fight. You’re far better than 98% of the boot-consuming power trippers that folded the moment it looked like they might lose their paper throne. Welcome home.

  This and almost every other tech subscription style “service” are one of the most maddening things to come out of the tech sector. The need for profit is absolutely out of control.
