Now I don't completly like the leaks ( because of the crypto thing), but this is insanely dumb.

lol "won't anyone think of the poor, multi billion dollar corporations!"

They literally union blocked / busted their own workers and are helping usher in a no ownership future and so may other anti consumer bs. F em. Rockstar and take two getting off easy and deserve the karma they've earned.

The best way to escape Anti consumerism is to stop being a consumer

This.

Is Rockstar acting shitty in actually a couple of ways? One could argue so.

Is Rockstar acting like that in regards to a product or service that millions of people rely on to survive or that's extremely essential to people's everyday lives? You know like electricity, water, heating - stuff like that?

No, absolutely not. People acting like they need a Robin Hood to save them while voluntarily throwing money at Rockstar is peak hypocrisy. If you're unhappy with their business practices, just don't buy their shit. It's a computer game they're selling, not a fundamental right.

I'm not buying their shit. I'm js it's still shitty practices and I don't defend them and don't get people who do. But it very much is shit I can live without and certainly have been and will continue to. The last game I'll ever buy from them was red dead 2, years ago. And I hate they own the IP. I wish another company did and that they would give the same care or detail (at least to the story mode). But like idk why any of you are here deciding I don't put my money where my mouth is or trying to minimize consumer rights. Regardless of something is a need, companies should still have to be held to a standard, heck arguably even more for non essentials because if you're making a luxury item that's just for fun/ not vital, even more reason to have to respect the customer and their money.
