    Doing stuff for us personally won’t change anything is my point. I, and probably you too are pirating stuff already.

    Just because there are higher priorities does not mean we should just accept the shitty thing. We don’t need to solve world hunger and climate change to have affordable media.

      Yes it will, it will literally change YOUR life.

      Stop worrying about if a game costs too much for your liking based on what you think society should pay for it. Nobody is going to get sick or die because hades ios is a netflix exclusive.

        How many times must I say I have already decided to pirate those silly games if I want to play them?

        Its not just games. Society is being submissive about it in such a way they are even doing it to cars and many other products. They are closing in an we are letting them by being that accepting. Piracy will not always be a solution. We need to agree as a society that things like this are bad. That encroaching on our life by means of squeezing our money and privacy will erode it.

            This is exactly the problem I’m pointing out. When a single company is that powerful, they can buy their way into a monopoly/oligopoly. Then comes what is now called enshitification, for obvious reasons.

            One example: Uber destroyed the taxi coops in my country by having money and operating at a huge loss until they bought the market. The difference being drivers are now more exploited, making less money. Prices for consumers came right back to what they were in the age of taxis. They made themselves a new middleman, and everybody else lost.

            They distribute cash, in order to capture the market, to be able to exploit more as competition dwindles unfairly. They do it all the time and we should be againt it at all levels.
