Shit like this is why forums need to protect vulgarity. It’s a deeply dishonest “just because you disagree” insult that takes ten times longer to pick apart or respond do, when really it’s just fucking LYING.
That’s not why you’re being sued.
And you know it.
You bastards.
Cigarettes aren’t regulated to death because they’re “too good.”
excellent comment, analysis and subsequent defense of your position in the following discussion. i feel like i learned something, thanks for this homie. 👍
I know you’re talking to me. I am shitting on your argument, by metaphor, by showing it’s exactly what I already dealt with.
None of that is “done to myself.” What the fuck would that even mean? I am condemning a business model and this propaganda used to defend it. It has nothing to do with me, personally, and the suggestion is derailing horseshit.
And the fact I have to triple-check I didn’t end any of these sentences with so much as a comma and a G-rated insult, when it’s such fucking nonsense to deal with, is why enforced civility is a failure of any forum. An unforced error that freely tolerates overt trolling but viciously punishes the natural and necessary response to such verbal abuse.
“Why deal with people like me?” is quite a fucking angle.
I comment on this topic because it’s important, dammit. Venting about it is not making things worse for me.
I deal with people like you because you fucking asked. How irrational! Apparently.
I’d love to have more constructive discussions on this. There’s a wide variety of sensible ways the conversation could go. But for some god-damn reason, I mostly attract the same “juuuust” nonsense over and over, even when it is explicitly dealt with in the comment you’re rolling your eyes at.
I absolutely should not have to educate every Lemmy user, individually, on why this business model is a scam, and how it threatens gaming as a whole. But if I have to - I will.
If you’re taking what I’m saying as an insult deserving a rulebreak, I think you need to take a break. I’m just a commenter on a website.
“Wow you actually believe your criticisms of me? Calm down, honey. I’m juuuuuuust the reductionist definition of the only thing that could break the rules about commenting on a website.”
Dude, everyone knows it’s a scam. It’s literally gambling, which is a scam.
Your energy is way too high.
You aren’t an educator.
I’m not obligated to to digest the entire scope of the industry in any comment or reply I make, same as you. So my addressing one small facet of one comment on one thread is it. That’s the end of the scope.
This is not an academic, or formal space. You aren’t on the clock.
You’re clearly very angry and you’re obviously just putting that anger on me. Do what ya gotta do, again, none of this matters.
Your one small facet is the same denialist horseshit I get with complete sincerity, over and over and over.
Do you feel one iota of responsibility for the escalating vitriol in response to the things you write? If not, why the fuck not? I’m not making shit up and getting mad about it. I am directly addressing the words that come out of your keyboard. They started awful. They got worse. Maybe you should fix that. I’m not sure what the hell you expect in response, if “here’s why you should stop doing this shit” leaves you performatively tutting.
You’re clearly very angry and you’re obviously just putting that anger on me.
“You’re juuuuuuuuuuuuuust angry” is trolling. Fuck right off with that behavior. I haven’t said shit about your internal emotional state, and for once, I’m not even picking apart the abusive aspect of you doing that to me. But if you’re just going to dismiss the entire conversation by attributing it to that deep dissatisfaction, like reaching a conclusion is proof of unreasonable motivation, why are you on this website at all? Why ever comment? You could have more fun making it up in your head, and by the sound of things, having fun is all you think these words on a screen are for.

What? I don’t understand this comment.
Weird energy. Just don’t play their games
“Just don’t smoke them!”
No I’m talking to you, not the industry.
You clearly have a formed opinion on these games " bastards". Why do this to yourself?
Pictured: the problem, blind to itself.

Like dude you are so certain, and express yourself with such clarify. I’m saying it’s all there, why are you wasting time on this.
Edit “Why do this to yourself” refers to THIS exchange. Why comment on these threads or on this topic? It clearly brings you no joy.
You have a lot of anger on this it seems like you’re ready.
