Netflix has revealed a bunch more games that subscribers will soon get to play at no extra cost. They include indie hits such as Braid, Death's Door and Hades.
I made that choice, but it goes beyond that. Its also about the shitty choice we make collectively rather than individually. We live in a society after all.
On the list of shitty things society decides, this is not even in the top 1 million. If you want the game and dont want to pay for it, pirate it. Easy solution for each of us personally.
Doing stuff for us personally won’t change anything is my point. I, and probably you too are pirating stuff already.
Just because there are higher priorities does not mean we should just accept the shitty thing. We don’t need to solve world hunger and climate change to have affordable media.
Stop worrying about if a game costs too much for your liking based on what you think society should pay for it. Nobody is going to get sick or die because hades ios is a netflix exclusive.
How many times must I say I have already decided to pirate those silly games if I want to play them?
Its not just games. Society is being submissive about it in such a way they are even doing it to cars and many other products. They are closing in an we are letting them by being that accepting. Piracy will not always be a solution. We need to agree as a society that things like this are bad. That encroaching on our life by means of squeezing our money and privacy will erode it.
This is exactly the problem I’m pointing out. When a single company is that powerful, they can buy their way into a monopoly/oligopoly. Then comes what is now called enshitification, for obvious reasons.
One example: Uber destroyed the taxi coops in my country by having money and operating at a huge loss until they bought the market. The difference being drivers are now more exploited, making less money. Prices for consumers came right back to what they were in the age of taxis. They made themselves a new middleman, and everybody else lost.
They distribute cash, in order to capture the market, to be able to exploit more as competition dwindles unfairly. They do it all the time and we should be againt it at all levels.
