Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?
Doing the best they can with the resources they have instead of charging the most while giving the least?
Absolutely.
I look forward to you people never admitting you’re wrong even when you’re playing the game and having a good time.

That would be a start.
They should also stop subscribing to dumb shit like netflix and spotify. Instead of using doordash, they should get comfortable making their own meals.
We can’t expect the system to change unless a majority of its participants are willing to change.
It’s a cultural problem, and people like you are doing your part to make sure it never gets solved.

How about they don’t pay it and voice their discontent?
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 2 weeks ago:
and it wasn’t bogged down in bloat by trying to be any bigger than it ought to have been.
It must be nice when your standards conveniently align with whatever makes the developers work less.

Nowhere near as good as Fallout 4, though.
Also, insultingly short.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 2 weeks ago:
Ahh yes, perpetually renting access and being beholden to price hikes “just because.”
Makes sense all the morons who subscribe to netflix and spotify are also stupid enough to shill game pass.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 2 weeks ago:
I think it has more to do with how much they’re charging rather than them charging anything at all.
i.e. They’re maximizing profit off of people’s low standards by charging the most people are willing to pay while giving the least they’re willing to accept.
If this honestly had to be spelled out for you and you’re not just being willfully ignorant, you should really get some remedial education before shitting on others.

The developers can’t pay rent with good vibes.
They can consume less and live in cheaper areas.
But why would they unless they’re forced to?
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 2 weeks ago:
How dare you use economic theory against them!?
Don’t you realize gamers are supposed to be idiots who will gladly pay whatever price is asked of them?

Yeah, it doesn’t surprise me.
Just gonna be another torrent for me.

Warms me heart to see all these gamers finally growing a pair and treating business as business.

- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 2 weeks ago:
Inquisition was their best selling game.
Was it? Even if it was, you have to consider the cost and time that goes into making it.
Also, where’s the post-game monetization? Like it or not, fantasy games made for smart people unfortunately are held to the same standard as sports games made for morons.
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, closing down bioware would be a mercy-killing at this point.
This is what happens when creators let people who don’t care infect their art.

It’s the safe reddit-writing that has become very prevalent in western studios.
- Comment on Inside the 'Dragon Age' Debacle That Gutted EA's BioWare Studio 2 weeks ago:
If you look at it critically, Dragon Age Origins and Awakening are really the only good games in the series.
It went to shit, fast. Now they’re just pandering to the wrong people expecting it to save their game when everyone who was interested in the original has long since moved on.

- Comment on The Wikimedia Foundation Pauses an Experiment That Showed Wikipedia Users AI-Generated Summaries at The Top of Some Articles, Following an Editor Backlash. 2 weeks ago:
not forced behavior for end users.
This is what I’m constantly criticizing. It’s fine to have more options, but they should be options and not mandatory.
No, having to scroll past an AI summary for every fucking article is not an ‘option.’ Having the option to hide it forever (or even better, opt-in), now that’s a real option.
I’d really love to see the opt-in/opt-out data for AI. I guarantee businesses aren’t including the option or recording data because they know it will show people don’t want it, and they have to follow the data!

Good. I don’t really care about youtube, but less censorship is always a good thing.
How can you people say you respect science when you support silencing any criticism of it? That’s not science. That’s religion.
- Comment on Disney and Universal Sue A.I. Firm for Copyright Infringement 2 weeks ago:
So you’re saying copyright and patent laws only exist to help rich people?
I guess that would make all of the workers defending them ‘useful idiots’ then.
- Comment on Disney and Universal Sue A.I. Firm for Copyright Infringement 2 weeks ago:
They got that money because of strong enforcement of copyright protections.
Without copyright laws, everyone could’ve just shared Disney’s shit without fear of repercussion and they would have billions less while we collectively have billions more.
