    Yeah,. It’s a for-profit company with publicly traded stock. Their one and only concern is their bottom line, decrease costs, increase profits. If you want a nonprofit videogame co-op that’s gamer first then you’re more than free to go start one.

      Yeah, and you’re a consumer who should be acting in your own self interest. In case or needs to be said, a company going digital only on their own closed platform is not in your interest even if you buy digital only or don’t even use the platform. So unless you like being a corporate bootlicker maybe don’t defend things that are against your self interest.

        Me? I wait like 20+ years to play games so typically I just emulate roms. I donate to ROM hosting sites or buy old games and consoles from yard sales and stuff. I’m consuming content but I’m definitely not a typical gamer I think.

      There is a middle ground between a nonprofit coop and a business that screws over its customers. Do you only think in extremes?

        A for profit will ultimately err on the side of profits. Any messaging or behavior suggesting they actually care about the consumer is only in service of profits not in service of the consumer aka it’s fake.
