      Do you have the money to buy out id software and pay all the payroll for its coders?

        no, but I do have the money to not buy the dark ages and pirate it instead because of what they did to mick gordon, and now this.

        and with that money, I will buy the game that mick gordon is currently working on. Or 50 of them. https://mick-gordon.com/

            Nothing like you think you’re gonna save the world complaining on the internet? People get laid off all the time, businesses make stupid decisions all the time, all we can do is mind our business as well as we can.

              I think you need a comma but besides that what’s your point with that comment? That nothing we do matters so why try?

                That youre already doing everything you can by not buying.

                You can’t keep all the billions of idiots on the planet from buying it, right? So what else could you possibly do? Start a campaign make signs on highway overpasses (Dont buy AAA games they dont let you own the copy!)

                Email your congressperson?? About video games being too expensive??

                That’s a joke isn’t it? So yes dont buy and move on with your life, what else is there in this case??

      Well there’s different groups of folks. There’s a group who aren’t going to tolerate this and won’t give them another cent, and another group who will look past it until it destroys their favourite series completely, and I guess another, enormous group who are entirely oblivious to any of the goings on behind the scenes and just buy game play game
