All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.

They say that if we don't pay businesses the prices they demand, then nothing would get done. Why are people so stupid? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) Because they're correct, you're just being too literal in your understanding of the statement. Will people occasionally work for free? Sure. For friends, family, friends of friends, hell even strangers sometimes, volunteering is a thing, sure. Will they work for free reliably and consistently enough that they can be built upon by other people? Obviously not, they sometimes don't even do it for money. Society as it is today, with its insane population count and highly specialised workflows, requires an insane amount of logistics that absolutely can't bear "random cunt #354 decided not to work this month so the boat is without a captain" levels of random disruption without heavy consequences; this is incidentally also why strikes are extremely effective. No society that evolved beyond subsistence did so without some obligation to work, whether through monetary incentives or straight up serfdom/slavery; and if subsistence is all you want, I'm sure you can go live in like, some tribal commune on a Pacific island somewhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] meisterah@ttrpg.network 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) You are a useful idiot. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] MolochAlter@lemmy.world -7 points 9 months ago (1 child) Sure, bud, that's why communism worked every time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Legom7@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) If communism was destined to collapse on itself every time, why did the US spend billions on overthrowing all the communist South American countries? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago For the same reason the USSR did the same shit to subvert countries all over the world?
