I think some years back the EU passed a law that forbade paid lootbox type rewards, we need to see more of these measures in gaming of all kinds.

I’m so used to having to bend over backwards to walk anywhere in Greece that I literally could not see the problem

Whether the people are partially to blame or not is a complicated topic. Both in the US and Italy, about half of the population were educated/smart enough to see through their propaganda.

I was about to comment calling you an asshole but I didn’t expect this tbh. I appreciate you listening and understanding your errors, people don’t do this often enough.

This is why you should support any surviving local theaters that aren’t chains. Monopolies aren’t created solely by the companies but with the help of the consumers too

If they want to crate a Lemmy instance so badly, why don’t they? It’s open source, everyone can host an instance if they want to.
