    I’ve got to give credit to the gaming industry, it never fails to surprise me. They are extremely creative in finding new ways to press money out of gamers. I wish they would put that creative energy into their games, but well…

    On the other hand, the gamers are not better. They pay for a weapon skin, a loot box, a mini DLC mission, they preorder, they accept always on line, they accept game clients required running in the background, buggy games on release date, now paid mods, kernel level anti cheat. Did I forget something?

    Who can blame good old Todd and all the other guys?

      Gamers wont even get off Windows because they wanna keep playing fortnight. By far the least scrupulous set of consumers on earth, ready and willing to sling hash for slop.

      As for the gamers… I’d argue that most of those don’t “accept” but simply don’t know better. Ignorance is bliss.
