Apparently some lawsuits have started on Sony's potential price-fixing of all games on their platform since they're now the only retailer. Before anyone gets excited, these are probably going nowhere, but it's neat that something is happening. The idea seems similar to the Epic vs Apple/Google lawsuits.

    Yes. That another consumer - right got slashed completely. The poor are forced to just rent houses, apts, cars, appliances and even fucking books and games. I drown in money and see a big cultural problem here, I don't know why you don't care. Because YOU can afford it? Or YOU don't care about owning stuff you paid money for?

    Every day people die due to capitalism. Why should i explicitly care for some islamic state in some remote region i don't remotely care about? In a playstation-thread in a community about gaming?

    Big words, but what have you done lately to help people less fortunate than yourself? I'm a non-exploiting capitalist. Every employee of mine had excellent double-above-average salary, a come-and-go-as-you-please-work-ethics, shares in the company and free food and drinks. I donate tons of money to people (no stupid organizations), i work for free in a shelter and i don't buy shit noone needs to impress people i don't like. Scale doesn't matter btw, one can help even being piss-poor. If everyone else, and especially some billionaires, would too, everything would be nicer. But we don't.

    So please spare me the dying children (as if the adults wouldn't matter) someplace. Children here are dying too, and way too many not by natural causes. Homo homini lupus est.

    I don’t need to advertise my contributions to strangers on the internet, and rationalize my behavior to satisfy a guilty conscience… The people in my community know what value I add.

    What i thought...big words from behind a keyboard. And I surely don't need a lecture from you about what capitalism is. Using a phone or a computer, using a car and whatnot and probably working somewhere while being in it and exploiting the poor chinese who made your devices. Stop partaking in it or change something. Call me when you made it, i'd happily give up my wealth to live in a better society.

    you’re just less successful at it.

    yes i am, that was the point. Was not so hard to grasp.

    Anyhow, I see where I am at now and hence withdraw from this "conversation"
