You seem to be mad that this doesn’t give you instant results. It’s about the long term and sending a message.

Plus, what would be the alternative? What is this magical instant fix of the industry that you haven’t told anybody?

It is still important that they fail. If you buy their shitty games they will still think that they are right and they would have the profit to support their opinion

I’ve been nearly scammed like this myself. If you sell something and somebody wants to pay you via an external site (no simple transfer) without being interested in the product, it is an extremely red flag
