Mentions lack of mods on consoles in both posts, maybe a console player a bit angry their platform is locked down? Either way, yep, they clearly don't participate in the mod space much, so should probably spare their opinion on the matter.

Yikes.

Creation Club goes against modding values, which is why people hate it. It's Bethesda's attempt at profiting from 'mods', they don't actually give a shit about modders being paid. But honestly, CC shouldn't even be compared to mods, it's content Bethesda contracted people for and then they sell it on CC and keep the money.

Nobody is asking for free content from modders, most create mods out of passion and the players enjoy that, they can always open donation links that people can use (I have donated to many mod creators in the past, have you?). The best mods are created this way and without the player freedom, the quality of content would be a lot worse overall or simply not exist.

Conservatives tend to create rage bait around single issues. It's been their tactic throughout history, get people mad about specific things and they will ignore the rest, notice how everything is always blamed on immigrants.

People will and are buying it anyway. It will go on sale very soon once sales slow down. They know it isn't worth that much, but they know idiots will buy it anyway.

Then once it's 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% off, people will think they are getting a deal, even though it still isn't worth that much. Rockstar know exactly what they are doing.

Obsidian but with syncthing here, just syncs the files across my devices.

You don't need the extra do in the do-do scenarios.

"You do do that though" "You do that though"

Rail takes up some space, but only at terminating stations. The tracks themselves for 99% of the journey are much more space efficient than roads. We can't compare factorio to real life aha, we are transporting people instead of cargo and over much larger distances.

Besides, USA has a lot of space, that wasn't really the issue, it was the spending of money on the wrong infrastructure.

Yeah, I mean that's where the money should be spent, not on highway changes.

Buses dont need multi-lane highways and massive interchanges, neither do trains...

I'm terribly sorry to tell you this, but it's not just whales anymore, it's a majority of people. Nearly everyone I come across in games has some sort of $20+ skin. The whales just moved on to spending more, but so did everyone else.

The newer generations dont know any different, this is the norm for them.

People buy the skins. They actually spend money on this stuff. Crazy right?!

So what are corporations going to do? They are going to slowly increase the price, see what they can get away with. Paid cosmetics started as microtransactions, $0.01 to $5, but have since ballooned into a $20-50 normality with them being way way up into the hundreds in some cases. It's ridiculous, but it's all because people actually buy this stuff...
