    We are extremely aware and super tuned in, but the vast majority of people who buy games do not look this closely.

    Irresponsible companies are the result of irresponsible consumers. It sucks, but it’s built into our economic system, and more deeply, our species.

      But I’m not a consumer, I’m a poor human being trying to survive in the modern world.

      When the only options available to you are a douche and a turd sandwich, why would it be my fault for having those two options? Sure, I could get a better job, or perhaps, work more! Then I could afford to buy the non-parasitic vegetables that currently are only available to me through the salad on a McChicken sandwich.

      Sry for the spiel, I know you’re talking about gaming and it is definitely not the same. I still wouldn’t go ahead and blame the victim on that.
