Useful idiots keep telling me people won't work for free.
They say that if we don't pay businesses the prices they demand, then nothing would get done.
Why are people so stupid?
@ttrpg.network
I'm noticing it happens with all companies.
They start out small and can't afford to pay businesspeople to figure out how to fuck over their customers as hard as possible.
Then, after the company is successful thanks to the hard work of the workers, the business-school people start applying in droves to make sure every company operates like gas stations across the street from each other.
It results in companies making decisions like having higher budgets for advertising than what they spend on actually making a product, because the data says it will make them more money and stupid customers keep reinforcing it.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until our culture stops valuing people based on their wealth. I have no hope for that to happen in my lifetime.
I keep trying to explain this, but nobody really seems to listen.
The reason why things are so expensive is so the people taking money from us can use that to abuse vulnerable people.
Things could be cheaper if we all had higher standards, but we'd rather fight for the people ripping us off than admit we're being ripped off in the first place.
No, I'm still talking about indies in general.
I gave 1 example because giving more isn't worth my time.
the majority of game design innovation has come from indie games for many years.
Okay, buddy.
I'll honestly never understand the appeal of non-lethal playthroughs.
Yeah, it barely takes more skill and you can brag to your friends or whatever, but a huge appeal of violent games is actually killing people.
thanks for using Leebra!
