It is biased towards the rich. Much of American society and laws are biased towards the rich or biased towards large corporations.
So it is insane, but since it’s just as insane as the rest of the system, you aren’t supposed to notice.

Tons of people still play Skyrim.
Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.
I don’t play multiplayer because I don’t want to be cussed out by a 6 year old.
I play games to have fun. I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone.
Did they ever ramp down?
Especially when creators find interesting ways to work them in, which is pretty often, in my experience. They’re the one type of ad that doesn’t annoy me.
Oh, yeah. Fair enough. Totally agree.
We are not in direct control. That’s the disconnect.
Case in point: the US sells arms to Israel. Numerous polls show a lack of support for Israel’s current actions among US citizens, and yet the arms sales continue.
I get that the electoral college is a great excuse for the popular vote not mattering in presidential elections, but what is the excuse when the country has said they don’t want their money going somewhere but it doesn’t stop flowing?
Actually I just need to stop buying garbage (which I have done). The power sits with the purchasers in this case.
The crazy irony is that those from outside the US probably know way more than those in the US, in terms of stories about Alaska.
No hate here. There will be ups and downs.
At the end of the day, I’m happy to communicate with you.
They could make so many moderate games that would sell amazingly if they just tried to…
100%. That’s the kind of nuanced thinking you won’t get from corporate America at this point.
Can you explain the difference in terms of the effect on the population?
They aren’t selling because they are designed as money machines first and games second.
Do I get to be the next Tim Sweeney now? As far as I can tell the bar is pretty low.
The US is effectively a corporation. We The People have lost control. The question is what we do about it.
I completely understand the sentiment.
I also understand the sentiment that the internet is effectively a US invention dating back at least to ARPAnet.
I guess what I’m suggesting is: can’t we all just get along? At least we can now all communicate with each other.
It is absolutely shocking to me how long it is taking for fans to turn on Nintendo. They’ve done this hardcore corpo shit for years. They should have a public image far worse than EA by now.
The nostalgic love runs deep, I guess.
The philosophical depth of so many comment threads on this post kind of highlights the issue with AI and intellectual property rights.
By definition, AI leverages existing work, crucially in a way that usually does not credit or benefit the original creator.
If I took two images from random creators, cut one out, and pasted it onto the other: have I created a new work? Is it a copyrightable work? (I genuinely don’t know the answer to that).
I don’t see anything here that supports the idea that a vacancy tax would “hurt people who can least afford it”. Even if we go the anecdotal route, the location of vacant homes says very little about their owners.
When jail?
Because if we don’t start seeing jail, nothing changes.
It is getting harder and harder to find a dumb TV though.
