The answer to stopping these practices regardless of company is to vote with your wallet. But people won’t ever do that. They keep giving these companies money hand over fist. Why would you, as a company, lower your revenue on “good faith”.
Until people actually stop buying the console and games, Sony and others have absolutely no reason to change their business model.
Regulation is the answer not voting with your wallet which never works and does absolutely nothing.
It’s not fucking food. It’s a consumer product. The only way to stop this is to quit fucking buying it. But gamers are entitled whiny children who think their fucking game discs are more important than energy and food pricing. So instead of fixing real problems our fucking entire summer is going to be filled with relentless bitch crying.
