"People acting in their own financial interests frustrates money-hungry company"

FTFY

The second to last time i bought DLC at launch was the assassins creed game in colonial america, which was a waste of money. Then Starfield came out and you could play it a weekend early if you bought DLC, another scam. It is so much more fun to buy an indy game in alpha and get an update every few months from someone isnt a whore for share holders.

They should learn how to sail the high seas

Things get too expensive and people who don't have the extra cash will find a way to spend less, or not at all. Remember this, all of you shareholders, if you price the customers out of buying your product then you've only screwed yourselves and your greed is to blame. What is wrong with a standard, healthy 10% profit?

Looks like my gen X ass is just an gen Z in disguise…

That's exactly what I do as a millenial/gen Y. The last time I purchased a full-price game was probably Dragon Age Origins.

Also there’s more than enough quality content that exists already. This week I’m still happy watching Dr who or Star Trek from the 80s and 90s, Alfred Hitchcock films from the 60s and playing pc games from the 90s. There’s more than enough for me to chew through and time does the job of sorting the classic material from the forgettable dross for me.

And these services are mad cause it's so cheap for us to do that. Subscribe when the full seasons are out, binge watch what you want, leave.

They have no money, and they're going to have to live with the result of choices made long ago by wealthy people who are dead now.

I wouldn't be doing a damn thing if I was them, except maybe riot.

Good. Cancel your streaming services. All of them. Just pirate shit.

Surprised it’s not 100% the high seas like myself.

Am I supposed to be mad about this? The only jobs available to most of them basically constitute slavery.

Funny way of saying "half of Gen Z are not falling for the typical consumer spend spend spend trap". And as a millennial I say good for them. About time large chunks of people see the consumption driven economy game for what it is.

I cannot upvote a paywalled source

yes, blurring the article if you don't disable ad blocking is a paywall

They probably would do those things if they could afford to live comfortably and had a little extra disposable income but in today's world every time you turn around someone is screwing you out of money. There isn't anything left for fun stuff. Especially when the fun stuff company is doing some of the screwing lol

Arrrr matey

Pfft. I'm in my 40s with an established engineering career and a small home that I've owned for 18 years now.

I am also not paying for any streaming services I can avoid, not buying many games, sailing the high seas, and our cars are like 13/14 years old.

Because shit is crazy, especially being in the US. I am keeping my world small and focusing on my family and my community.

these seems stressful and alot of work, might as well pirate it.

Turns out saddling a generation with debt, and then telling them the AI is gonna take all the jobs doesn't do a lot for moral, or our finances.

Nevermind that there's a middle East forever war 2.0 going on that's jacking up the cost of everything right now.

Proud subscriber of dropout tv and they 100% deserve it. Everything else I mooch off someone else lol. But tbh the majority of stuff I watch are on dropout or Apple TV tbh.

Stremio ftw

People are still buying full price games?

!patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

If they just care about one title, why don't they buy just that title?
