    So your definition of overcharged is that we’re being charged more than what we would in an alternate reality where billionaires don’t exist?

    I don’t think imagination is a good basis of comparison. If one store is selling the game for $20 and another is selling it for $70 with nothing different between the two, then the one selling it for $70 is overcharging.

    But if one real store is selling it for $70, and an imaginary store is selling it for $20, then I don’t think the real store is overcharging…lol

      My definition of overcharged is that if someone is able to become a multimillionaire or billionaire from people purchasing their product then their product is sold for more than it’s worth, it’s not real world vs imaginary world, it’s rich people taking advantage of us in the real world and let me guarantee you one thing buddy, you’re not rich enough to be in a position where you should defend that system, you should be angry that you have less than you deserve in your pockets while Gabe and his friends are partying on a yacht.

      Funny how your first phrase makes it seem like you understand exactly what I’m talking about but because we’re talking about a product that you like critical thinking goes out the window.

          Because it’s always the same story with you guys, you’re angry at rich people but when people point out why they exist and that a guy you love is rich then it’s ok. Gotta point out the hypocrisy so maybe you’ll wake up.

            Lmao…“you guys”?

            Great reason to go hunting through my comments to find something that you seem to have not quite understood, given its context.

            Look, the imaginary world without billionaires that you’re talking about sounds great, but we live in the real world. In the real world, we aren’t going to change anything for the better by whining about rich people on the internet, nor would pirating change anything for the better.

            But anyways, since you went through my comments, you might’ve seen my complaints about Steam, and the fact that I prefer to buy most of my games on GOG because they’re DRM-free. But considering that you’ve said a $2 game is overpriced, I don’t imagine that you’re looking for alternatives…lol

              Yeah, you guys, you think you’re the only person ready to suck Gabe’s dick on here? Get in line buddy, then don’t forget to complain that rich people bad when you’re done swallowing.

              GOG is owned by a publicly traded company with a $16B market cap

              As I said, you’re just a hypocrite because it just happens to be for a product you like so you become unable to think about it critically.
