      These big game publishers and studios really aren’t giving people a reason to pay for stuff. Pay for it:

      • it doesn’t belong to you
      • it comes with malware aka “anticheat”
      • the dev team is fired even if it’s successful
      • sequels are canceled

      Seriously, what’s the point of paying them?

      Thankfully the talent still exists, so they might move on to other places, do their own thing, or leave game dev altogether.

      Gamedev is an extremely toxic career, and it has been for a very long time. I’m glad people are finally starting to at least somewhat care, if only for the studios themselves.
