  • Yeah this is how bullies work the illicit threat. And cowering to that threat is how you encourage them to take more from you.

    Call the bluff and call it out when they try anything.

    I get It, it’s a real threat and nowadays we all are barely scraping by. But why are we all in this situation? Because of psychopaths like trump you have to break the cycle at some point or everything will be taken from you when you cower to the threat (show a bully they can take from you and they will come back and take more). You’re damned if you do and damned a bit slower if you don’t.

    You resist fascism you don’t bend to it.




  • While I agree with the mind set, I don’t feel the industry is set up to allow consumers to make such informed decisions.

    We have review embargos (hey just don’t preorder bro), paid for reviews, blatant lies or mis representation in ads. Demos are few and far in-between. It’s hard to want to pay for more than 60 these days given the constant anti consumer practices that happen in the gaming industry. Why would I pay you more when you clearly don’t respect your customers (most publishers)

    I’m at the point where I don’t buy a game until it is on sale and has a ton of reviews. I have such a huge backlog, it doesn’t bother me to not play the latest thing.
