Not every game is an MMO requiring vast server farms. A game like the crew 1 that is past it’s prime is not expensive to keep a few servers running for. It’s a negligible cost.

They could also put in the time to give players the tools to host their own servers, or simply allow offline play. This used to be standard for all PC games. They chose to do neither of these things in an obvious effort to force players towards the sequel or their other games. They should not be permitted to do anti-consumer things like this.

On places like reddit, Lenny, etc where there is a vocal minority complaining about this. The vast majority of consumers don’t come on here nor do they keep themselves informed. They’ll grumble at the price a bit, then buy it anyway.

I love invading people’s games and then never hacking them. It doesn’t tell them you’ve invaded so you can just mess with them covertly and pretend to be an NPC.

I hope her pile of money fell on her and crushed her to death

A single terf who is already as wealthy as a person can be so any additional wealth doesn’t matter. Being a toxic shithead to people for being a fan of something is not going to help trans people, nor is it going to make JK Rowling lose all her money.

You’re right, which is why I didn’t say that it was. You and the person I’m responding to are being toxic and you’re not helping yourself by doing that. I am and have always been a defender of trans people, and you are jumping at every opportunity to assume I’m not simply because I don’t agree with your methodology. That’s retarded. Grow the fuck up.

I haven’t played the game nor do I want to. What I said is still true nonetheless. If you want to convince someone to boycott a piece of media, being a presumptuous dickhead is the exact opposite way you accomplish that.

Unless of course their actual goal is to merely use trans people as fodder for performative moral grand standing in which case they’re a piece of shit that no one should listen to anyway because that’s not what true allyship looks like.

Hyperbole and bad faith arguing is not compelling anyone to support your cause or your point of view

deep rock survivor is a surprisingly fun and simple game that is designed for one handed play

This is only a problem for capitalist shareholders (aka the ultra wealthy) who need to extract more wealth from consumers than they did last quarter but they’re already at the limit of how much they can do so. Now the largest barrier is time and attention.
