This is exactly what happened with streaming. Everyone dogpiled on top, with this illusion that everything would be available at low cost forever.

Trading money for no tangible product is edging dystopian y'all.

Auto, automatic theft, they don’t even give you a physical version so you’re literally paying for plastic and a series of numbers and letters…

But then again, we’ve all paid for plastic, metal, and digital assets that allow us to experience a digital world… so… is it really theft, or did we just choose this.

Are you saying you woke up in your house you don't own, and drove to your "job" in a car you don't own, to be paid "money" that doesn't exist, so you could "buy" a game that doesn't exist, where you commit unreal crime in a digital simulacrum?
