    Buy their shit and whine. Masterful plan.

    If you want game companies to respect you, you have to respect yourself first and buy more wisely.

    Extreme Utopia: If everyone on earth bought on GOG, DRM wouldn’t exist. If everyone bought games with selfhostable servers, games wouldn’t go offline. If everyone didn’t buy battlepasses, they wouldn’t exist.

    This was normal back in the day. We got what we deserved.

      History has shown that voting with your wallet is not a working substitute for consumer protections. Without those the conflict between consumers and scammers is very asymmetrical.

        Consumer protection by corrupt politicians is a scam.

        I propose vigilante molotovs on the offenders’ office and private housing.
