What do you mean? You were the one who brought morality into this by comparing game developers to Nazi soldiers.

You claim that 'just doing their job' isn't a valid defense, but how else am I supposed to look at it? It is literally their job to find new ways to monetize a product. If a company pushes a bad strategy, consumers can just stop playing and paying, like when BMW tried subscription heated seats and failed because of low sales. Blaming employees for doing what they are hired to do, while people keep playing the game, makes no sense. Trying new ways to make money isn't a moral crime; it's just business.

can imagine if that what elon planning XD

but it still gonna deter the usage, because in order to make it profitable they have to put more ads without making too obnoxious

tbh, i would love to watch ads about indomie when i play game, at least i will have reason to eat it and it remind me of the good ol day of internet cafe

But what actually makes it bad? Is making a game and wanting to get a financial benefit out of it inherently wrong?

Why doesn't that same logic apply to celebrities doing brand endorsements, shoving products down our throats that they probably don't even use just because they are famous? And don't forget product placement in movies.

Also, developing a modern video game can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and if it flops, it's just a dead loss. Unlike movies, which can recoup losses through streaming deals or cable rights, a bad video game usually means nobody plays it and the studio loses everything. That is a massive financial risk.

Where do you draw the line?

So every time someone has a different perspective than you, you just dismiss them as an AI script? Might be time to open your mind a little bit.

isnt that good? so ea cant use it XD

i suggesting the same stuff as you, but i got bomb with downvote XD

hahaha

patenting stuff and using it, is two different thing

People like you are the reason everything is getting worse all the time. Keep your worthless opinions to yourself.

Maybe you should apply your advice to yourself on this one.

Laws (and crimes) and consumer behaviors are governed by popular concensus of what we, the body politic, are willing to tolerate - neither are absolutes, and both are subject to change.

You're right that social norms shift, but fundamental legal protections don't evaporate overnight, especially in democratic nations with institutional checks. Suggesting that society will casually normalize grave robbery for profit within our lifetimes isn't realistic.

A realistic analogy would make my point less clearly than an exaggerated cartoon.

Admitting that your argument relies on an "exaggerated cartoon" proves that your logic isn't realistic. Video game ads are a voluntary consumer choice, but grave robbery is a non-consensual crime.

If you want a realistic corporate greed analogy, look at a company intentionally polluting the air and then selling clean air filters to profit off the damage. At least that deals with actual market behavior instead of shock value crime scenarios.
