wow is subscription based

this is about games being sold as a good, but remotely made inoperable because of how they were designed

how many people played a game is irrelevant
normalizing that it's ok to sell a good, then make your good inoperable and receive 0 repurcussions is

>why? if you dont like it just dont buy those games
like you said, vote with your wallet doesn't work this situation in particular because people aren't aware of this shit or don't understand it

i agree regulations can make things harder for smaller players, but here's the thing
that is completely irrelevant for this problem

here's a small indie game that has dedicated servers and works just fine, like all games used to work in the past
no small indie dev is going to make some convoluted multi ip crossover GAAS nightmare bullshit that depend on proprietary centralised servers anyway
that is problems big corporations invented to fuck over consumers

also tech positions pay less because for years we pushed people into tech as the new big thing so there's a shitload of supply
