They don’t have plans because the players aren’t important enough, and they’re easily replaceable.

I’d say to them exactly what I’ve said to you.

It seems to me that you have no idea what self-respect is, you’re just a sheep buying books from a bigot because you’re not affected by the bigotry.  I hope you experience that kind of discrimination, very soon.

Well then you think you’re just as much a piece of shit not worthy of respect as I now think of you.  Go fuck yourself, dumbass.

“Star Wars has also been accused of promoting slavery.”

It’s telling the library the books are wanted so they’ll buy them, and replace them if necessary. It may not be as much compensation to Rowling as buying the book outright, but yes, it’s still putting money in her pocket.

Bigots don’t understand that.  Just dismiss their stupid comments and let them go back to their echo chamber.

Then I hope she doesn’t decide to turn her bigotry towards those on the autism spectrum, so you don’t have to find out what it feels like to reward someone that is trying to hurt you.

Almost everything you said is irrelevant. Dumbdumb above said people can only have XX or XY chromosomes, which is just wrong. You trying to ACKSHUALLY my reply to Dumbdumb adds nothing to the conversation, and kinda makes it hard to believe the first half of your first sentence.

Yes, they might make a deal that wasn’t in their best interests in order to save their place on Sony’s platform. Capitalism and commerce requires such things, ALL THE TIME. Every console ever made has been sold at a loss, and profits come from software sales later. Restaurants and grocery stores use loss leaders in…

You don’t really believe that they feel the better deal is pennies per player instead of dozens of dollars per direct sale, do you?

7-11's in my area are slowly phasing out offering gas, moving toward just being a convenient store.  Two of the three closest 7-11's to me have ripped out their gas tanks in the last year.

So devs/pubs make even less compared to direct sales of the game.

Stray is definitely my #1, too.

Lack of self esteem, lack of self worth, lack of dignity. Take your pick of one, or a combination, or all.  Why would you reward someone that thinks so little of you that they use their influence to make your standard of living worse, or even encourage hostility and/or violence toward you?

Being canceled means being convicted of domestic violence?

So devs/pubs accept pennies on the dollar to let people play games they normally wouldn’t play.  Just as simple, right?

And if you’d like to reread my math comments, I used actual sales figures.  So assuming Horizon Zero Dawn would have sold 20 million copies without PS+ is because that’s how many copies HZD sold even with PS+ existing.  Dumbass.

“assuming everyone playing it through PS+ is replacing a traditional sale”

Shameless author tries to shame others.
