  This is like a group project in school. Is it your fault that another member didn’t complete their part and the project received a failing grade? Nope. Did you still receive a failing grade? Yup. We failed. All of us. I’m with you that regular people aren’t to blame for the actions of the state, but that changes nothing. Here we are…with an F on the report card. I didn’t earn this grade, and neither did you. Now it’s on us to drag that grade back up, as a group.

  I still stand by my comment. Four years later, and we are still sitting in the bullshit for round two. We, as a country, failed the task at hand.

  This is the point I keep reminding myself of. We had four years to do anything at all. We all knew version 2.0 would be back like deja vu but worse, and we (as a country) just let it.

  Lemme try and feel sorry for my cartoonishly rich tech overlords real quick…

  The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.

  I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.

  I’ve done my part, as has everyone else here in the comments. The disheartening part is that their profits continue to go up. They continue to raise prices so sharply that every time they lose customers, they make more money. Shitting on everyone is a viable business strategy.

  That’s not an unlimited amount of data.

  Personally, I agree with your mindset, but I’m pretty handy with fixing/maintaining my own vehicles. For someone needing something to reliably get back and forth to work/school/daycare, I understand why people don’t go this route. Shop lead times have skyrocketed in the last few years, as have repair prices. Sometimes you just need something you don’t have to worry about.

  I’m aware. I’ve been there. Kinda hard to miss em.

  I’m thinking that there was a reason for the change; drilling for oil was blocked in the Gulf of Mexico.
