justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it's almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you're wrong.
Also no sympathy for diabetics, just as smokers with lung cancer, they get that for being fat and eating shit
You are an incredibly ignorant person if you think hereditary diabetes doesn't exist or that everyone that got diabetes through poverty and bad living conditions "deserved" it.
I am not diabetic and am in pretty great health myself, but unlike you I am able to care about other people.
Its just the business model for leeches at the top to siphon off all the value created by peopoe who actually do the work. This is why pirating is so awful. Think of the C-suite overlords and shareholders!!!!
Paypigs are pathetic. Imagine forking over money to some corporate publisher to "support the artist" . Want to support independent artists/creators? It's called commissions and donations(patreon, kofi, etc.)
And I have news for YOU. I WILL keep on supporting the piracy of unoptimised, incomplete garbage games, that use the preorders as beta testers, famous examples being Gollum and Cyberpunk 77. In comparison, I see no problem paying for quality games like Skyrim, or games that have fixed their issues, like Shadow of War removing the microtransactions and fixing most of the bugs. But crap like Gollum (the game, I have a sort of respect and pity for the character) has no place on my system, even if I had Duck Tales money, even if I had a 2 TB RAM, multiple 4090s or whatever the latest overpriced Nvidia crap is, and the latest, most powerful, server level CPUs, with like 128 cores or something, I still wouldn't buy and play this garbage. Alright?
I velieve rhis shpuld be done to teach the lazy bastards in management in those game companies, that if you want good sales, you have to take things a bit slower and poliah the product out. Unfortunately, it seems that they don't give a fuck, because Denuvo protects their games during the first few months of sales, when they make a profit on the garbage they've made. Then they do some bug fixing and move on to the next cash cow. That's how the gaming industry works. And I don't know about you, but I do NOT want to support this mess.
And because you're such a credulous and loyal corporate lapdog, the monetization gets greedier and greedier every year because you keep paying for it.
and i'm not being a petty parasite like all of you
I buy games that deserve to be bought. I paid for Baldur's Gate 3 and I am enjoying it, and a lot of that enjoyment comes from it not being overmonetized greedy trash like the Bungie shit you stan for.
Do you? You apprently want Bungee to congratulate you for your heroic dogmatic defense of all the predatory monetization and worker abuse practices that you're making excuses for under pretense of doing it for the sake of the workers?
an obvious fake article from a sensationalistic site
You're such a pay piggy that you seriously believe Bungee is above wrongdoing? Are you that pathetic?
Do I even need to link to the predatory and manipulative monetization practices that are common for the Destiny series or are you going to pretend those don't exist either?
You don't like my tiny pictures? You poor thing. Awwww.
It's too bad because lots of tiny pictures apply to you and your antics. In fact there's a lot more that apply to you but maybe you'd like to writhe and foam with rage over tiny pictures from centuries past instead.
When I am able to pay content creators directly, I do. I am not a pirate, myself, though I have pirated in the past. I think some of the rationale behind pirating derives from intolerance of anti-consumer practices. If I'm paying for a streaming service, I shouldn't be forced to watch ads. If I'm paying for a game, there shouldn't be day one DLC-gated content, especially if that content is already part of the game and the DLC does little more than unlock it (I'm looking at you Bioware).
Pirating isn't always about stealing for the sake of using or watching something for free. It can be about that, sure, but it isn't always. Often, it's about punishing entities for bad practices---for treating customers unfairly, for instance, or for restricting access to content.
And usually the people who make decisions that negatively affect customers are removed from the creation of the content itself. It's kind of sad, really.

Marathon was really unique and I know Halo has a lot of fans, but the far end of the Bungie fandom licks a lot of boots.
so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don't give it to the people who did the hard work.

Bootlickers like you also make this claim to justify insulin having thousands of percent markup from the cost of manufacture.

And that pay is a small fraction of the value they produce. Thats why "the business model" is exploitative

Nah. They become not-trash when they get the bugs fixed. With what I'm doing I'm hoping to send a message that this way of doing things sucks!

Already a opener, right up there with "um," and "hate to break it to you, but"
Some day sucking all that shoe polish off of corporate footwear will pay off and you will wear the boot! Keep at it, treat defender!
Your refractory period must have passed because you're doing the thing again in the same post.
You may need to hydrate, have more Vitamin E, and possibly have a burn clinic on speed dial with all that mental masturbation you're doing here.

There was nothing to discuss with you, just you being a paypiggy and out of nowhere vomiting hate on yet another target: diabetic people.

Congratulations on being the most stereotypical consoomer-brained paypiggy imaginable.

I think you may have misunderstood: sometimes the intent is to hurt a company. I believe that sometimes it can be entirely morally justifiable.
