Agreed. I want to get the full game for my $50-$70. I don’t want to pay $100+ to get the full game.
Microtransactions are a cancer to gaming IMO.

Yep. Musk is a right winger.
But we can’t have that I guess. I fucking hate corporations so much.
I know an even better way for them to save money. Anthony Wood, the CEO, gets like $20,990,000 in total yearly compensation. Like most these fucks most of it is non-salary, so they don’t pay taxes on it right away if at all.
Good for Mexico, that’s awesome! Too bad the U.S. is such a fucking backwards excuse of a country.
We don’t have a monopoly. - Company with a monopoly
Oh whoops, duh @ me. I’ve done that and now it’s working. Thanks.
I mean if people want to do this, I guess? I’m super socially awkward and even I wouldn’t want to do this. I want the person to like me, not the AI.
Doesn’t appear that I’m currently unable to add a comment on the a.lemmy.world version of posts, but I can on here just fine.
If this does happen, I hope they find a way to do it that doesn’t make Bezos and the like richer, like what happened with Standard Oil years ago.
Similar things are done with TV and streaming unfortunately. You ever notice how commercials/ads have louder volume than whatever content you’re watching? It’s intentional. If you’re someone who doesn’t skip them and doesn’t mute them, they want you to be able to hear them from another room and then they hope you’ll come back to see the ad. It’s so dumb.
I had one. Well I still have it, but I stopped using it years ago for some reason. I forget why. I think I ran out of storage or something. Anyways, I had gotten a cheap Fire tablet and that thing sucked, so I dug out my Nexus and somehow wound up bricking it. Yay. Now I have a Tab A8 that’s working fine so far.
Gotta get it locked in. That date will sneak up on you.
What a dumbass he is, wow, just wow.
As all billionaires are. Along with unempathetic sociopathic psychopaths.
Shrinkflation. Make a product or service smaller or worse and charge more for it. Been happening for years now across different industries, product types, and service types.
Now we need a Kenny & Lenny crossover episode.
Silents are right before boomers. People born from 1928 to 1945. So people born right in the middle of pre-World War II and during the war itself. I would guess their children are mostly boomers and a few older Gen X. Boomers’ kids are generally Gen X and some older millennials.
It always amazes me, in a bad way, how the christofascists want to call everything they don’t like indoctrination. They’re literally hiding things from their own children. I get wanting to protect your children, but IMO, that’s not the way to do it.
They function like a cult. You can’t have any beliefs outside of theirs, you can’t go against the grain, you are disowned if you leave, etc. You’re not an individual human being with your own thoughts, wants, needs, and rights, you’re just another number in their christofascist member log. They constantly spout things that have been proven false for decades like they’re 100% real.
I saw something the other day that seemed to indicate that these types of beliefs are more engrained with boomers and silents and less so with younger folks. I hope that is the case and we can get away from this nonsense. Yet more things boomers and silents are doing to try to ruin the world before they die.
And FWIW, I’ve read the Bible cover to cover, unlike most of them, and a vast majority of the bullshit they spout isn’t even in the Bible. They’re making it up and using “religion” as a cover/excuse.
Right?
Though I’m sure if they can figure out someway to force subscription bullshit in there, they will.
