None of the fines for these things are enough. It should be, like, the company is nationalized. The leadership is sentenced to years of community service and barred from working in the industry for life.

Everything from the right is a confession. A projection. They are stupid selfish people that struggle to understand other people.

If someone is just trolling, sure. But usually I hear it when someone's like "gay people should be allowed to live" and someone else goes "you're being diViSiVe"

I feel like some counters should immediately banish the speaker to sitting in the corner. "Alarmist" and "divisive" are the top two that come to mind. It's almost always idiots not engaging with the material in good faith who pop those out.

If people would stop voting for conservatives we could all have better lives.

That's also a problem, yes. DRM free is best. I'm extremely reluctant to pay for a game I can't play offline as much as I want. (Barring MMOs and the like, I guess. Don't play a lot of those, myself)

All the wealth is being concentrated in the hands of too few people. I'm not going to buy a $120 game when my salary is down, or I'm just laid off.

It's a demand pointed out the entire capitalist hellscape, of which epic is a part, not them specifically.

Sweeney's a billionaire. He could be pushing for labor to have a bigger slice of the pie. But he won't, because he's a soulless husk.

I don't have the personal budget to buy a lot of games. Pay me more and I'll spend more. Otherwise, fuck all the way off

Is this a joke?

Many people don't think. They feel.

When their in-group is going along with something, they go along with it, too. Feels good to them. It's a high.

That's it. That's the problem. It's a big part of why republicans vote against their real-life interests. They're more concerned with chasing the high of being part of the in-group. So, sure, Trump might lose a lot of money and influence and everything, but he's our tribe-mate!

It's stupid. Worse then children. Worse than dogs.
