"Everyone has to learn this lesson the hard way"
No, only if you're an idiot. A lot of people realise that isn't true well before they're old enough to work.
And it's especially common to not realise this until well into adulthood in the US because of the level of capitalistic brain washing that happens there.
I've specifically discussed this with friends, both from my country (Sweden) and other countries (including outside europe) and this fucked mindset just isn't there for any of us.
I thought they allowed app installs outside of the app store now? I haven't had an iOS device for about 10 years but the few things I hear it feels like iOS is moving more towards openness while Android is quickly moving towards a closed environment and what iOS used to be in that meaning. I also think Google has been real bad with tracking and shit than Apple has ever been. Obviously both Google (or Alphabet or whatever) and Apple are absolutely not good in any way about any of this, just saying to make it clear I'm not siding with either.
That's great, gonna have to print it out on stickers and place them around town.
This has to be a bad troll comment. It's like saying "This is pizza, you can't talk about anything other than Italy when eating it".
How are you this dumb?
This is the song of the world, a ton of angry voices but then the vast majority of them still buy (in both meanings) the thing. People want to be mad but never inconvenienced. They'll spend so many hours being angry both internally and externally but then still use their vote, be it a political or wallet one, for that specific thing they're angry about. "I'm mad this costs so much, that it's so bad, that it doesn't align with my views but there's no way in hell I'll miss out on it".
Fucking cowards.
And sadly, as we're constantly reminded of, people that have money to spend aren't intelligent in general. It's narcissim, sociopathy and hoarding mentality that is behind most people who have money, and those same things is what would make someone want to use tech like this.
What having an incurable competitionist mentality does to a MF. I can't stop myself from needing to 100% any game I play, and so many have at least a few things that are just too grindy or boring to complete so it ends like this instead.
While I agree for the most part, pricing is absolutely an issue too (an ever increasing one). I and so many others in a similar situation have a lot of time but not a lot of money, it doesn't matter if a game has 2000+ hours of playtime, we just can't afford $70+ as a once time purchase.
Uber-heathest here, you are all unimportant in comparison.
And 'Muricans think the only space that exists or is important is the US (which is dumb as fuck).
It's the one game I've been the most excited about for many years, but I can't play it until it has native controller support. I can't play with KB/M due to back pain, I've tried several mappings/layouts and mods (like knapster) but it just feels bad and even after forcing myself to get comfortable and playing around with everything it never gets to a point where it's a major hurdle for just enjoying the game. As far as I know it'll het controller support sometime in the future though, so I'm patiently waiting and am still very excited to dive into it once that happens!
