Well shit. Some people actually care about the people who produce whatever it is you consume. It's crazy, I know. If the people who are growing the malt for my beer, or processing it, or delivering it, or whatever... are getting screwed over I would be equally concerned. But by all means, continue to be a consumer pacman just gobbling up whatever it is that falls in front of your face. That's what the world is trying to mold you into anyway. Why fight it?
Oh please get over yourself. If you consume games you are already actively supporting the screwing over of people in like five different industries the world over. This price hike in one piece of software is just your "thing" to get righteously mad about this week.
I just set myself a timer for a month to remind me to ask you about your opinions on this topic. I'm sure you'll still be heavily invested by then.
You're cute. I like you.
