What do you think of Gaming companies losing Billions?

Well deserved. Stick to Indie games which are made with passion and love unlike the triple A money scam titles.

Problem is, both of those are technically capitalist. You own the gold, and you own the antivenom. Your action doesn't matter. Privately owning something is required for capitalism. If socialism, you'd be handing the guy "our antivenom"

You can privately own something under socialism. You are thinking of communism.

Sorry mate, I don't know what you're on about, but you need to reread ANY encyclopedia on politics, and socialism. You've created some kind of new definition of politics and socialism so that you can defend the latter. And weirdly at that, cause it's not like I'm some full on capitalist and anti-socialist. I'm perfectly moderate, but you've been too hyped on emotion to see that.

I have. You can have socialism without politics. I have given examples. Do you Need MORE examples? How many do I need to supply before you accept the examples I give you? Because I'm not going to waste my time if you are ignoring my posts.

Here's one. Charity: Is it capitalism or socialism?

Charity can only be done under capitalism since it requires the free will of the giver, and ability to earn it.
Socialism may take care of the needs of the populace, but at the same time strips them of their ability to be human.

Capitalism and socialism can both exist at the same time, it's simply a matter of how far in one direction a country goes. Communism however is the absence of capitalism.

It's always a double edged sword for everything.

Also, I don't really think your argument with @Daitengu will go anywhere because it's semantics at this point. Arguing over definitions is hardly ever fruitful and you're also glossing over each other's points because of the desire to be right on what 'definition' something is.

I’ve come to a point where I will be more selective of games I buy. I have to say, the 2010’s were a golden age of gaming. The 2020’s has shown we are in a gaming decline.

Well, hope the cycle ends soon.

I hardly buy games anymore because they're not worth it very often. Either the price tag doesn't match the quality or the game is expensive for no reason. $60 a game is expensive these days and companies really should get out of that rut of slapping such a tag on everything. Indie games are more the route I tend to take now.

I say that but I know damn well I'll still buy the next Halo when it comes out like the sucker I am.

I agree with everything you said.
Overall though, I think game companies and by extension, game developers feel that they have a captive audience.
I mean, why else would they continue to make unpopular decisions when making games? I get they need that sweet DEI money, but I find that I will just go play more pickleball or something if this continues.
