Same with cheap shoes - I get to buy new cheap shoes every month, subsidized by child slave labor in some far away place.
Or, perhaps I should feel some moral qualms about riding on the suffering of others. And make no mistake: most F2P games are subsidized not by some million people each spending $2 dollars to get a Candy Crush hammer or some nicer-looking toy, they are subsidized by some hundred people each spending $2000 to fuel their addiction to seeing the numbers go up.
- SirMaster 3y agoAre we really comparing voluntary entertainment to working a job to make a living?
- simiones 3y agoNo, we are comparing coerced "entertainment" with coerced labor. The people who feel compelled to spend every last dollar they own on a game are not doing it for entertainment - they are victims, and something in their psyche has been successfully manipulated by the game designers.
