    meant to mislead potential players into thinking the game is successful when, in fact, it’s severely underperforming behind the scenes.

    Why would a player in a single-player game give a tiny shit about how popular it is? It’s the investor class that cares about that; stop treating their interests as a natural good.

        It’s old lunacy. Believe it or not we live in a class based society where the vast majority of the people that actually provide value to society have their labor stolen by leeches that make money by having money and that is what that person means by the investor class.

            Oh, I never thought of it like that.

            What a great criticism! You’re obliviously someone who has thought long and hard about this topic

                Dude/Dudette…

                What… what the fuck is your entire account?

                You have like a weeks worth of recent comments, and 90% of them you are downvoted to oblivion, just no matter what comm you are, what you are talking about, its just you being insufferable and/or contrarian and/or confidently wrong.

                Then further back than that, 2, 3 months, you have some actually informative and useful comments, funny commentary most people liked, and that just keeps going.

                Did your account get hacked? Did you suffer a TBI. Get fired, partner broke up with you?

                Like I really am not trying to be a dick here, you good man/gal?

                You come back after about 2 months of absence and you are now seemingly intentionally just trying to be shitty basically all the time.

        That term is decades old, it’s fine if you haven’t heard it before but maybe consider that possibility before replying like that and looking like an asshole.
