I can’t even return things I didn’t enjoy under proper terms unless prompted to by someone else. How do these people manage to take their money back and feel okay about it afterwards?? Hell I feel guilty for under paying on humblebundle when I only want the “1st tier” (generally a very low minimum cost).

This is super shitty, especially since the game is 9 goddamned dollars in the US.

Steam users:

Maybe developers can flag a specific achievement with Steam, that shows a player has smashed the game and bars refunds if it has been earned. It would need to be clearly shown to the player in advance though, not hidden away. Not ideal, but perhaps would help in some cases.

Jesus christ, if you like the game, fucking pay for it. I’d apply this to music as well. If you enjoy it, support it. Art has value.

monopolistic Steam store

“I don’t want a monopoly, so every single major game release for the PC must be available on Steam and any other major platforms.”

What, seriously? Do you ACTUALLY think that Nintendo is the only company in the video game industry who cares about video games and the people who play them? (I mean, that statement is itself quite debatable, but I’m not getting into that here.) Just because Nintendo does one thing relatively well, you you think that…

Eeeeeeh... I mean, I love Nintendo, and I certainly love the Switch.

Every character on Bebop is a question of what race/ethnicity should be cast.

This is an excellent headline.

The goal isn’t to solve a problem. The goal is to “punish.” Authoritarians love to punish, even if the punishment makes the problem worse (see: war on drugs, war on terror, etc.) As long as someone they deem “unworthy” is suffering, authoritarians are happy.
