So you're just confirming that you're a psychopath/sociopath.
I care about other people, EVEN IF THEIR SUFFERING DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT ME.
I realize this is a completely foreign concept to you, so I'll try to explain it in very simple terms, one final time:
I am not going to support a game with a gambling-based structure, because I care about other humans. I refuse to support unethical developers who are exploiting gambling addicts. That's completely separate from whether I'm going to spend money on the game myself, or whether I'm theoretically able to get everything I want from the game, without the gambling ever affecting me.
Again, I realize that your neurology isn't correctly configured to experience empathy. You can't be fixed.
Your points would carry more weight if you weren't so obnoxiously condescending. You write like a high schooler who is baselessly confident that they're smarter than everyone they talk to because they read a few headlines.
Take it down a notch, buddy boy. Your hyperbole just makes you look like an idiot
Yeah, I realize that. I just strongly dislike admitting I'm wrong, especially to people who are, like, cartoonishly wrong themselves.
No one you're arguing with has been as wrong as comparing playing mobile games to supporting slavery. You're definitely on the cartoonish end of being wrong
I see what you're saying. It just gets to me, the fact that their starting point was basically "morals and ethics don't exist. Everything is just personal preference."
At that point, it's like I'm compelled to give SOME KIND OF EXAMPLE of what a morally wrong thing might be.
Morals aren't relevant when you're talking about if a game is fun or not, though. And the game being fun (if it is - I've never even heard of it) is why people play. Your first post was a whole lot of high horsin that made your question seem rhetorical. Like you just wanted to rant and didn't actually care that people find the game fun to play
So a guy registered on lemmynsfw, an instance whose users have been known to post exploitative pictures, is bitching about... gacha games. Oh wow. Wow.
I like how you had to use both terms because you don't actually know which one is accurate for the absolute fivehead accusations you're making. Another amazing conclusion from the World's Smartest Man.
FYI, psychopathy and sociopathy aren't remotely the same thing. Please, quit taking about things you don't understand, it's becoming a bad habit at this point. Literally nobody here is fooled by it and you're only embarrassing yourself.
Dude really just needs to step away from the drugs, I think.
Oh, so I'm supposed to know EXACTLY which kind of reptilian monster you are?
Doesn't matter to me. You're not a human. You're an unfeeling beast, without the emotional capacity to care for other people. You've admitted that much, and that's all I need to know. Everything else you've said makes total sense, now.
This is cringe.
Whatever, Dexter.
