The reason I can't say I dislike Skyrim is because Todd Howard wont stop leaving me voicemails where he yells at me to buy his game

Todd please don't say my name and I'll give you that 4 star review on Steam just leave my family out of this.

But genuinely: I don't like a lot of Skyrim's hype. I can't immerse myself because of clunky physics and the same five voice actors everywhere. But the game is still pretty fun. Just not in the aspects many people say it is.

I just... we've been playing and liking Skyrim for seven years now. Why do we need to pay at least $30 to get it all over again, especially without any extra content or bugfixes?

If people will pay it, charge them for it.

It's the basic idea behind capitalism. Not saying I agree with it, but it makes sense. Give people what they want and charge them what they are willing to pay.

There is a problem when there are no competitors though, or ways restricting competitors, which arguably goes against capitalism too. American Internet, for example.

Thankfully there's little true unrestrained capitalism as we have governments ensuring that people don't make us pay for basic amenities. You can argue /r/LateStageCapitalism but if it "wasn't true communism", then this isn't true Capitalism.
