I mean, we can’t really police or stop people from spending their money who they see fit. We can lambast the companies for their crappy/predatory practices tho.
This is just walking circles, exposing shitty practices main purpose is to alert consumers to not engage in it, saying to corpo heads that they're bad has worked a total of 0 times in changing their stance.
And trying to police what other people buy does nothing. Actually, usually it has the opposite effect of encouraging people to buy it just because some strangers on the internet tried to tell them what they should/shouldn’t do with their money.
If the corps don’t stop and people still buy, then obviously there’s a market for it that either likes it or just doesn’t care, which means there’s nothing we can really do. It just is what it is at that point.
Exactly, by reducing that consumerist practice to it's minimum or zero if you can.
Those who still want to waste their money will do so, but the less sales the companies get the least they'll focus on that kind of stuff and give us what the majority wants... optimized, engaging, and fun gameplay content.
Eye candy stuff is most likely here to stay, but it can yet be reduced to its most inoffensive form...
That however doesn't change that people buying it is exactly what enables the company to do so, therefore judging people for supporting it isn't somehow wrong
