      I’m reliably informed by people who really hate Overwatch that thinking like this makes you a chump for capitalism who is ruining the industry.

        Capitalism works. There are markets who will pay for these and that’s why they are made. That’s what capitalism is.

        If not for capitalism, these games wouldn’t even exist.

        Now, the issue I think you’re worried about is that people begrudgingly pay for the game when they don’t really want to. Or pay more than they want to for it.

        That’s not capitalism, that’s FOMO.

        People make a ton of shit everyday that I don’t buy. But obviously someone is out there paying for this shit, or it wouldn’t be being made.

        What do I care, or what do you care about it enough to even address?

        If people don’t buy it, it either gets cheaper or it’s not made at all. So just don’t buy it. I haven’t bought a sports game in 20 years because of this. But they keep making them and people keep complaining about them.

        Complain about yourselves, it’s not capitalism, it’s the consumers.

          Uh, I thought I was being pretty clear that I wasn’t the crazed anticapitalist, but I guess Poe’s Law.
