minus-squareBroBot9000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47arrow-down6·10 months agoUS kids are indoctrinated into a capitalist system and don’t know of any better. Fixed it for ya. Buy games not live service scams. Subscriptions, micro transactions, loot boxes and season passes should be illegal. The more you buy of those the less and less incentive for the big corporations to ever put out a regular game. Games are a product not a service. Fuck your rent seeking behaviour.
