Hot takes

[MasterEn]

being more serious, both parties are at fault.
the gaming companies make enough money, they just want more money than they could possibly ever need. they take advantage of systems set up to help improve games after release, such as patch updates and dlc.
and some gamers have poor impulse control. a lot of people with gambling problems play games to try and steer such impulses into something that isn't financially damaging but still stimulating. and when gaming companies decide to turn their properties into slot machines, those people can't help themselves but spend.
and a lot of people would prefer to pay a few bucks to skip putting in the hard work.
there's a lot to talk about on both sides of this.

It's kinda human nature to pick the shitty option that's available to them over doing without...

yeah, that's what humans will do. we can and will be lazy when the opportunity presents itself.

I meant the "if our counterarguments to hot takes are so middle ground that they don't themselves count as hot takes, should we avoid posting them?" message

oh, i thought you meant the other post.
i think, by the nature of making the response in the first place; it is a hot take, mostly against the other person's hot take.

your later posts were more jokey and sarcastic, but that first post seemed more sincere. there are people that do think that part of the downfall of gaming was helped out by that horse armor dlc.

i know. i remember hearing about it long ago. but apparently it sold fairly well since the company went overboard with the dlc stuff in fallout 76.
you don't need the armor for your horse, but some people wanted it, whether for 100% completion, or just showing some support for a company that they like.
and then it snowballed from there.
