    He was absolutely right.

    People generally are absolutely fine with paying, so long as it’s not absurd pricing and the service is convenient.

    I was happy paying for Netflix until the recent bullshit. I still pay for Spotify. I buy all my games outside of old ones that I need to emulate (again proving Gabe correct - if I could legally access them easily then I’d do that instead, but am I fuck jumping through hoops like spending thousands on old consoles I don’t have the space for nor the time to search for/import games)

    P.s. I’m from India. Not one of these “pasty-faced white people” that you seem to take issue with
