    Gamers are less capable of self-control than heroin addicts. Trying to get them to stop buying games is a fools errand.

        I don’t get those two kinds of gamers. You’re paying over $100USD every year to continue to play fundamentally the SAME game. Just that ALL your progress and cosmetics/teams are essentially wiped and you have to spend hundreds of dollars to reacquire them. And they say some games are “too grindy.”

        To this day I’ve still failed to talk my stepdad out of buying Madden games… even when they no longer work on Windows 10 (and of course Linux) so he’s having to upgrade… Sigh.

      We can all start with ourselves, which is easier first step.

      The only games I purchase are from GOG with 2 exceptions of 2 portal games on steam.
