Whiny nerds who haven’t read a new book in over two decades shed tears over the fact their boring-ass game sucks and is getting swirlied in the toilet bowl by actual cool games
The issue is us, the players, that keep buying shit for too much money.
Randian logic, absolute nonsense.
Entertainment serves as escapism under capitalism and is as much a requirement for people as food. “The problem is people keep buying bad food, not the companies that make unhealthy cheap shit.”
As long as people are captured by a system of wage slavery they will be compelled to seek escapism from it for their own sanity. The companies shovelling out dogshit are taking advantage of that, it’s not the fault of the buyers, it’s the fault of the system. If you gave these companies to the employees making the art instead of shareholders and publishers you’d get work that is a passion instead. The problem is ultimately where power lies in the companies, with the ownership.
