    I didn't mean it gets to me. I more meant that it reinforces that even if you're 100% aware of the tricks games like that use, they still work on you. Like I know how gambling works, how the game tricks you into spending money on it, and I still spend money. It sort of reinforced the 'you are not immune to propaganda' thing to me, in a roundabout way.

      Ahh okay, yeah, no one, not even the most resolute monk is immune.

      it's all about exposure and normalization, if I were born like 5 years later I'd probably be all into this shit

      but as a radicool 90s kid microtransactions and DLC seemed alien to me from the beginning
