You can still buy PSN/Xbox/Steam credit with cash at retailers. So you don’t necessarily need a credit card to pay for Microtransactions in games. Kids can just save up their allowances to buy credit at stores.
Moo!

I guess you’re not familiar with the fact that the world is full of irresponsible parents with either too much money and/or like to blame others for their mistakes.
They will adapt or they will die. It is not difficult to make a monetization model that is both fair to consumers and makes the company lots of money. Where the companies fuck up is wanting ALL the money. Not just lots of money, ALL the money.
well the thing with things like MTG and baseball cards are that you are buying a physical item(s) which you are then fully able to trade/sell to others. Most, if not all, of the loot box systems games use do not have any way to trade items with other players to get the skin/whatever you want, and also all stuff from…
I can’t count all the times a new player has come to town.
The role of student loan protection under bankruptcy laws in the inflation of tuition prices cannot be understated. I worked for a bankruptcy trustee for about 18 months. It was eye-opening.
Well, considering most people have few realistic ISP options, the choice is either deal with it, or have no Internet.
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.
This is like old people, who don’t like seeing others succeed, making “the system” harder, so when people fail they can stand proudly and proclaim “i did it, why can’t you? softie.” bask in my magnificence. Respect me!
Are you high? You honestly think that punishment in the form of removing one’s ability to drive to their place of employment (something that enables loan repayment) isn’t slavery? They would be better off throwing that person in jail, because at least they’d have guaranteed 3 meals a day and a place to sleep.
Ah the old victim mentality game. So let me make sure I understand correctly. No matter what happens in life, and if rules are made, no matter the reasoning behind them, we just need to STFU and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps?
Solution - open a whole bunch of credit cards to cover the balance of the student loans, and pay off student loans. Then default on the credit card debt, and file bankruptcy.
My cousin’s sister’s dad’s nephew makes $6,800 per week from home by selling snails online only a couple hours a day!!!
Naw, they’ll be fine. It’s easy to get from one place to another in South Dakota without a car.
On top of all of that, you can’t get rid of student loans through bankruptcy except in exceptional cases.
Leave it to America to reinvent debt slavery for the 21st Century.
“We heard you were having trouble paying your child support. Try these new tipless condoms...”
Defaulted on a student loan? Better take away their driver’s license so they really can’t make money.
I think I am content with the 2007 Star Wars: Battlefront 2. It has all the same features and no lootbox system in sight. Plus it has Steam server support now!
