Having empathy is having the ability to see someone's emotions and understand things from their point of view. Calling someone out for being am unpathetic POS doesn't preclude you from being empathetic. Empathy doesn't mean you have to abide evil.

Choosing to spend more on something is not the same as it costing more. Games are cheaper than ever to develop, the barrier to entry is lower than ever. Hiring 5 studios and 1000 employees to make one game is a decision, its not the cost of doing business.

But the employees at games studios need to get paid too.

I'm sorry, were the developers not getting paid until the price hike? I find it hard to believe that there wasn't enough money to pay the developers before than. How much did the CEOs salaries go up after that price hike?

Ultimately, ten extra bucks just isn’t that unreasonable for a video game.

Maybe not, but the value certainly hasn't changed. Why would I pay more for the same value? And that extra ten bucks is being squeezed out of everyone everywhere for everything in life, its not just a problem in the video game industry. Its simply a matter of corporate greed. Fuck the corpos and fuck their simps. They don't care about you, stop defending their greedy practices.

The article says they bought the curses at the end of August.

While costs go down and wages stagnate. But hey, the CEO needs a new yacht, so you plebs just need to suck it up and spend more.

You have to export it and send it yourself I believe. The device only notifies you once you have a hit.

I mean, technically yes. Cyberpunk was a pre-existing IP before 2077.

I buy my own groceries and j refuse to spend 70 on a video game. Because I have to buy my own groceries.

It sounds like there was something wrong with your setup. I use Tor almost exclusively for general browsing and while its definitely slower than VPN and unprotected browsing, its never taken more than 10 seconds to load a page, and that's on the long side. Usually no more than a few seconds longer in any other scenario. Definitely never been 3 minutes.

How many times has the US government gone up against farmers and gotten nowhere? When the government has a monopoly on violence, liberty is dead. The US government has proven itself evil time and time again through its actions all over the world, and you want them to be the only ones who are armed?

When the fascist thugs kick your door in, who is going to defend you? When they're gunning down your neighbors in the street, who is going to defend you? When they are marching you and your family one by one into the gas chambers, who is going to defend you? Nobody, because you gave the fascists all the guns.

Its frustrating when people try to pretend they're on the left while spouting blatant pro-fascist propaganda. "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
