Steve from Gamers Nexus has been screaming from the roof tops for a couple of years now, but all the “mainstream news outlets” that are supposed to be for the people, ignored him and kept praising goldfish-face Jensen and made him look like a god with his ugly-ass leather jacket.

We all saw it from the very beginning. It’s all about the short term gains and to make those graphs point upwards. It doesn’t matter the means and the consequences of that, just make sure they go up. That’s it. Fuck you and me average fucks who just want to buy 2TB of storage for their pc or a fucking 32GB of RAM. Y’all in the West seriously need to bring back guillotines and public execution.

    Wouldn't help—there's no deterrent effect, because people like this have too much ego to even consider that they might be caught. We need to start catching them before they make a mess.

    That is a testable hypothesis.

    Historical data is enough. There was no sudden surge in crime rates when public executions ceased in the West. The deterrent effect is zilch—people treated it like a theatrical performance, not a criminal penalty. That's why we don't do it anymore.
