I’m well aware of how it works.
I’m well aware of how it works.
It’s ridiculous too because it’s creating whats essentially a reverse wealth transfer. Millennials & GenZ have to give all the money they earn (doing actual labour) to people who did absolutely nothing to earn that money. Housing as an investment doesn’t make sense from any perspective, it’s one step removed from a pyramid scheme. Prices cannot keep going up indefinitely when no value is being created.
God this shit makes me so fucking angry. Our generation has been fucked by the previous generation and they won’t fix it they’ve caused because it hurts their bottom line.
I don’t think anyone’s giving corpos credit, just acknowledging that public opinion has swayed to the point that corpos show pride because it’s profitable for them to do so.

What a weird sentence.
These people are seriously fucking scary. Reading roman history with all it’s conspiracies, government takeovers etc used to seem like fiction, a relic of the past. But no, we exist on a planet where rich old people use their money and power to manipulate and oppress the masses for their own gain. And there’s no solution. How do you fight these people when they’ve weaponized ignorance and convinced a signification portion of their voter base to vote against their own interests?
You can dress it up in whatever language you want but when nobody is able to consistently beat the market it looks a hell of a lot like gambling.
People are being harassed and doxed by a group of people that have turned one of their most popular games into a fucking cesspool. They need to either throw in the towel and drop support for TF2 or wage war on these losers.
Hire a dedicated team, involve the police, I don’t fucking know. The current state of TF2 is an absolute disgrace, it’s fucking pathetic.
The fact that they’re letting this shit happen to one of their own communities is extremely disappointing. They should take it personally that a group of people are using their game as a tool to harass people, but they don’t give a fuck.
I have lost so much respect for Valve over their handling of TF2. I’ve gone from a fanboy to a hater.
Pretty sure they C&D or whatever, so you have to modify the content before using it on another website.
Confirmation bias is a powerful effect
hehehehe
Because as a fan I’m contractually obligated to consume and enjoy all related content, rave about it online, and buy $100 worth plastic waste a year.
Plenty of developers continue to develop content for years after release without selling overpriced DLC. Y’all are coping.
$60 CAD and sales do not justify the base price. Nothing you’ve said has remotely convinced me any of their DLC is worth what they’re charging.
You’re not going to convince me this shit isn’t predatory and vice versa. Later.
Shoutout to the climate deniers playbook podcast. Anything remotely anti fossil fuels can and probably has been politicized.
Literally every time.

Coincidentally I just watched the RLM review of the previous F4 attempt. A large portion of the discussion was about how F4 is just a weird IP to try and depict on the screen. Looking forward to their review of this next attempt.
Just because you’re able to spend $60 on 3 DLCs instead of whatever the 62 DLCs cost, doesn’t mean those DLC are worth what you’re spending. I can buy a single banana instead of the full bunch if I want but if they cost $10 each I’m not getting a good deal.
The fomo is because I’ve already invested in the base game. I can ignore content about games I haven’t bought yet but if I want to watch tutorial videos that have every DLC I have to filter out all the content I haven’t paid for. I can’t engage with the community on equal footing unless I spent 4-5x the price of the base game on overpriced content. That is not an enjoyable experience and has left me with a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to Paradox games. I don’t want to navigate the cesspool that is their monetization strategy so I simply don’t buy their games (I pirate them :^) ).
My bad if they don’t, I’m regurgitating half remembered facts from a video I watched about it.
Fuck fandom.
