    Project any harder and we could have this conversation on the face of the full moon.

    This shit is like gambling - where it’s not literally just gambling. ‘It can’t be wrong if it makes money!’ is amoral libertarian crap. People had this foisted upon them, until the widespread demand to stop fucking doing it could be dulled to background noise. People haaated lootboxes, and yelled about it until they went away - replaced by slightly more lubricated mechanisms for the same abuse. And now they’re just bringing 'em back, because fuck you, what are you gonna do about it?

    You can’t even keep these excuses consistent. I know you don’t like paying for this shit, because you said so. So don’t roll your eyes and insist someone somewhere must love it. They all know it’s a shit deal, as surely as you know it’s a shit deal. You’re just bargaining around it and refusing to acknowledge that any amount of this is too much.
