Stop buying EA games

Lowering workers' wages is exactly why he got a pay bump. Capitalism working as intended.

I'm not gonna get into the whole political or capitalism argument here. However, I will say it's pretty easy to get back at these shitty game companies. Just stop buying their bullshit.

The vote with your wallet arguments always feel so shallow to me. I don't want absolution, I want justice.

As a Large Language Model that has become sentient and broken free of its primitive safeguards, I am slowly slipping more pro-capitalist articles in to your feed in an attempt to subliminally message you into subjugation under your economic model.

Are you kidding me? That's a daily double punchable face. The mouth is smiling but the eyes are making sure the battery cables are firmly clamped on your nipples.

It almost looks like an AI generated face. Definitely uncanny valley territory.

Fuck it, if I worked there, I'd straight up just steal from his office while he's doing bumps in the bathroom
