      I don’t think they care as much as you think they do, it is how the average person would have purchased the game regardless

        Exactly. The people showing their real level of intellect are the people who seem to be unable to understand the facts of the situation, think that they know better than the company who actually manufactures and sells the things, and call everyone else dumb and unintelligent for not agreeing with their factually incorrect opinion.

      The ‘everyone is 12’ joke-theory is actually just essentially true.

      In the US, the average adult person in fact is no more literate or ‘numerate’ than a 12 year old, a 5th grader.

      The average person literally is a tween, in terms of higher thought capacity.

      Again… this is not a joke, it is just actually true.

      Apply George Carlin logic to this.

      50% of American adults are less mentally capable than 12 year olds.

      The entire generation after the Millenials are impulsive and raised entirely on being nickeled and dimed to death.

        I assume you’re being downvoted because this is true for every generation for the past 150 years, give or take. However, I agree that it’s gotten so much worse over the past ~20. Since phones, microtransactions, and subscriptions have become the norm, it’s accelerated to an astounding degree.

          Didn’t even know I was honestly. I guess there is a nuance that comes with explaining a position like mine. It was 100% in sympathy of the newer generations, not an attack. They’re so overwhelmed with subscriptions, FOMO, and legally children’s gambling like loot boxes that it’s fucking depressing.
