      It’s a video game, you really don’t have to play it. Just don’t buy it if you don’t like the devs so much.

        I didn’t. I never played the game. I wanted to play the first one but then saw how many DLCs it has. I don’t like this way of developing software, in bits and pieces, so I didn’t want to support it. This changes nothing about the rest of the discussion though.

      Are we defending/justifying toxicity now?

      Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because someone chooses to be greedy doesn’t make it right for someone else to be toxic.

        Honestly, if one person or entity chooses to act shifty, then it should be okay to be shitty back. Please, let’s have consequences. Let’s not “let it slide” in the name of decorum or politeness. What motivation would people have to act less shitty in the future if everyone just turns the cheek and deals with it? Lol

          I don’t agree. Being better rather than the same is what makes the difference.

        Depends on what the greed is applied to. For a video game it’s whatever but for medicine I completely disagree.
