I’m tired of living in a world where everything is financially engineered and those sociopathic money-hungry deviants use every trick in the book to turn all of us into life long subscribers.
What can we do about this?
- ericd 10mo agoSeems like someone motivated could make an open source alternative to ESO’s lineup and make it impossible for them to make a monopoly in that niche. I wonder if you put out a call to all volunteer fire departments, if they have enough devs collectively to oust the aholes.
- azemetre 10mo agoYou tax them enough so they can't use money to buy power and have to rely on organizing like us poors to enact change.
- underlipton 10mo agoThere is a rather infamous old tactic to fight back against this. When Brown v Board of Education made segregation illegal in public schooling, many white families started private academies, avoiding regulations by stripping everything they could from the public systems and transplanting them into private ones. Obviously heinous, but perhaps a path forward here. People decry extreme, scorched-earth approaches, except it seems to work mighty well for conservatives. You're just not allowed to do it if you're "woke", I guess. (Who says? Do it anyway.)
- drowsspa 10mo agoWe have gambling addicts and the sociopaths they worship deciding the fate of mankind... Seriously I can't see any benefit in this large scale financial engineering
- SoftTalker 10mo agoYou're complaining to the wrong people here. The conventional advice for any software startup here is "raise your prices."
