>vote with your wallet>get outvoted by retards with bigger walletsDoing nothing is a cope. I want to see jobs lost and companies damaged. It’s what makes me happy
>Get outvoted>Democracy has failedThats how it works. If you don't like something don't spend your money on it. Find other things that are worth your money. You get no benefit from lost jobs and companies being damaged.
>>720764771Vote with your wallet isn't democratic, which is kinda the point.
Should have invested in cryptocurrency and pirated all of your games instead, then the price would literally not fucking matter to you. Just ordered a Switch 2, and pre-ordered Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon, and I have DK Bananza on the way with it. All of that and I don't even have to spend 0.2 ETH (Which I purchased hundreds of back in 2017).
>>720764643>I want to see jobs lost and companies damaged. It’s what makes me happyWhy are you like this? Just focus on the games you enjoy.
>>720765083>minority gets outvoted by majority>"THIS ISN'T DEMOCRACY"Sorry it isn't working out for you. Have you ever considered staging a coup and installing yourself as dictator of the world? Then you can make sure every game is the niche shit only you care about.
>>720764643I don't know what to tell you OP, I'm killing studios and positions by doing nothing just fine.
>>720765856Yeah no one ever said Democracy ensured the best outcome, just the most popular one.
Democracy has always been another word for mob rule. No one actually wants democracy.
>>720764643let me guess, you need more?
>>720764643Are you a bitter incel
>>720765856>minority gets outvoted by majorityAre you dumbDemocracy is 1 person = 1 voteVote with your wallet is $500 = 500 votes
>>720766220Yes. I need homeless people to make me feel better
>>720766473Let's not kid ourselves here. Do you really think gaming would be fixed if we someone how had a 1 person/1 vote system, as if the majority has good taste and are simply being outspent?
>>720767108Yes because your average normgroid would do exactly what they do irl, they don't vote kek
>>720767108Well you'd single handily kill whales as a business tactic which would mean the end of microtransactions. So there is that.
>vote with your walletisn't about doing nothing, it's about spending money on the things you want to see more of. You not buying some shit you weren't going to buy anyway won't change anything.
>>720764643>other people (not me) waste money on slopnot my problem
>>720768291>so now game devs just decide to make slopNow your problem.
>>720764643>get outvoted by retards with bigger walletsVoting with your wallet is about support, not denialGod, how have you insufferable morons never parsed this. Think about real voting: if you don't withhold your vote, that's not a vote against, that's just abstaining, and it does nothing. To vote against something requires you to cast your ballot to the competitor. To vote with your wallet isn't to not buy the game you hate, it's to support the other candidate making what you want.
>>720768560That’s not true either because unlike actual voting you can vote for everyone. Give me a negative purchase option. Let me pay for a company to lose money outright
>>720768560>To vote with your wallet isn't to not buy the game you hate, it's to support the other candidate making what you want.Have you not grasped that OP is saying he'll still get outvoted? You literally greetexted that part yourself.
>>720769091>Have you not grasped that OP is saying he'll still get outvotedWhat OP's metric is for getting "outvoted" is fundamentally flawed, you fucking moron. That's THE POINT
>Spend money things I want to see more of>They don't get funding>Fucking shit things cater to certain demographics with no impulse control>Suddenly the games industry is shit.Any system that relies on the average person being a rational actor making decisions has a serious flaw, especially when the same system relies on the class that enforces said decisions not to exploit the average person.
>>720764643You're supposed to work on your backlog BITCH
Break off from mainstream gaming, cultivate your own set of skills, find like-minded people, and go develop your own game in international waters.
>>720764643>im not the main characterThat’s all I’m seeing in your post, OP
if they're the retards, why are their wallets bigger than yours>vote with your wallet isn't democraticnevermind i guess you're honestly not smart enough to buy games
>>720764643>Doing nothing is a cope.Sid Meier's Civilization VII has been confirmed as a flop with the art and animation team being laid-off.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyrqdUTmSGoThis game had inserted DEI character Harriet Tubman as a nation leader and banned anyone on the Steam forums who complained. Also toned down the boobs on one of the women nobles.Couldn't happen to a more deserving dev.
>>720764643You are 13 and brown
>>720768185Ding ding ding
>>720764643>>vote with your walletthis has never worked. never once. the (((modern audiences))) are to blame. video games should never have gone mainstream>>get outvoted by retards with bigger walletsit's not bigger wallets. it's just a larger mass of retards without standards
