To the "obviously a lot cheaper" point. With the economies of scale these orgs operate at, that is a weak argument beyond, yes, technically slightly cheaper. And hospitals would be more profitable if buildings didn't have to incur the expense to purchase, install and maintain windows. And doctors would technically have more take home pay if they didn't have to buy shoes and wear them during surgery.
I know it's lighter in your message and you're mostly on the side of good I believe, but stop FUCKING pre-complying. Nobody has any sympathy for these "every year is record profits" fucks. Show me some YoY break even or loss and we can discuss hardship and necessary reduction in service. Until then, have ZERO patience for their boo hoo bullshit. There is a concept called the cost of doing business, table stakes.
Now internalize that.
Do you think you need to be so toxic? Genuine question.
Digital games are cheaper for people buying them because it is cheaper to produce and distribute than a disc, that's a basic law of economics.
85% of console game buyers agree.
Keep digging, bud.
What is that random percentage claimed? What's the source? What numbers is it conflating? And how would it change anything I said about the economies of scale and the fact that these companies have been working to engineer a slant to digital only for years?
92.4% of dentists agree that your random percentage expecting some kind of appeal to perceived authority is ineffective... And, my percentage here is actually higher than yours, so that's pretty embarassing for you.
I've given you all the stats but you obviously aren't reading them. Or do you not understand?
Now you have a choice. Be a better person and apologize or continue to be a toxic fuck.
