I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

having thought about it this is a generationally anti-consumer announcement that will have a profoundly detrimental impact on consumers and retail markets. this will price out new consumers even more than a $600 PS5 and $80 games will. this will make games less accessible and more nickel-and-dimed. this will make games impossible to share irl without giving your console up, and will stop institutions like libraries from being able to loan copies of modern games. and most importantly, it will be for a minimal profit, as most of the sales in video games are already digital.

It's really fucking telling, the people you see freaking out about this.

Not to mention the fact that for many of us, our families that have been in the USA for 10 generations weren’t actually considered US citizens until a few generations ago. The 14th Amendment established African American freedmen and Black people born in the U.S. as citizens in 1868—several years after emancipation—and it took a couple more years for the Naturalization Act of 1870 to actually create legislation to begin a formal citizenship process. Last month was the 102nd anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act that granted birthright citizenship to all indigenous Americans born within U.S. borders without stripping them of their tribal rights and lands. For decades Asian people born in the U.S had ever-changing legislation in regard to their citizenship, based on which nation their families immigrated from, until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Latino people have been living in the U.S. as citizens technically since the U.S. acquired the land from Mexico with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1850, but it didn’t protect them from horrible discriminatory practices and prejudices based on their original nationality unfortunately—and it hasn’t stopped being deemed a political issue for ignorant people since.

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
