The problem is capitalism, in general. But more specifically, it’s the current era of capitalism where line must always go up. Growth must be infinite.
Just as one entertaining example, here in ontario the government sells weed, but at black market prices, and then when they couldn’t sell what they had, they let it sit so long it had to be destroyed rather than simply lowering the price. So, we’re 1. not interfering with the black market, 2. no longer accounting for supply and demand through price adjustment… and there’s no real reason why but pride. People are proud when the cost of the item they produce goes up, enjoy the income, and forget that it works the other way too. Flooding the market with cheap, good shit is considered shitting the bed, so to speak. Pandering twats…
It used to be called collusion, but hey, usury used to be 3%. /shrug

Horseshit.
You’re saying this in a thread about a game that is literally free and has been the passion project of two brothers for nearly 20 years.
You might not see games like GTA or CoD. Might not. But even that’s still possible.

My brother in Christ, I was refuting your point.
