This is fascinating, may I ask how you see who is voting on your comments? U didn’t realize this was possible. Is it only because you’re the admin of your own instance?

Terminator Resistance? It’s been on my steam wishlist for a while.

Is it worth $20? I’m on the fence.

You might be horny, but you’re also correct. Eyes are drawn to these things on an instinctual level.

Mr. McMuscles always seems to get his hands on the most interesting details. I look forward to every release he makes.

That’s fair, but I feel like the point is that many people go through a process where

  1. You pay money
  2. The buttons on your screen say “buy” “purchase” “check-out” or something else to that effect

That feels like buying media, so according to the common “consumer” (hate that word) brain, you are spending money to buy content.

At the same time, media corps have been trying to teach us for years that piracy is exactly the same as stealing.

The whole point of the shorthand is to explain that these are not facts, they’re misconceptions, AND both of these misconceptions exist for the same reason, corporate propaganda.
