The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales
It’s pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.
Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned
The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You’d need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop
Too many gold sinks at low level, not enough gold sinks at high level.
WAY too much grinding at lower levels and the racial stats are all kinds of imbalanced
I haven’t been here long but I imagine c/outside exists?
c/outside
Outdoors / Nature / Green Thingshuh?
!outside@lemmy.world exists :) Not too active, but we can change that.
They probably spend too much time outside to bother with it ;)
True lol. Probably distracted with all the grindy sidequests.
No respawn. Gambling mechanics.
No respawn
Do we know that for certain, what if past oifes are previous spawns
It’s 90% grinding and 10% actual gameplay
How could the creator of the image miss the opportunity for it to say “we live in a society”
Or Skill Issue
Good point. That’s probably the libertarian gamer’s answer to all of it 🤦
If the downvoters want to buy more votes mine only costs $500. You can send you money to the nearest food pantry or food bank.

Capitalism is very unpoggers.
Promises of infinite exponential capital growth => Feature creep
Yes. I’d actually love this. Then maybe I’d listen.
I love it when I see a headline and then hear 1383x
youthtrendy people repeat the headline. Then they tell me they don’t follow msm and that they cultivate their own views. …I just say… O.K. …because I don’t care. Then they act like they had the biggest mic drop because I didn’t want to hear the same dumb shit for the 5 billionth time.deleted by creator
They were doing pretty good until they blamed everything on neoliberalism, what a fucking joke
Edit: If the wikipedia page wasn’t clear enough, the 14 definitions and comments below should show that the term “neoliberalism” is a broken dog whistle at best. You might as well go outside and yell at the clouds while you’re at it.
Is it? Neoliberalism describes a modern conservative movement closely aligned to libertarian philosophy. Privatization, elimination of government programs, tax reduction, laissez-faire capitalism are all under the neoliberal umbrella.
Wow, that is not what I expected Neoliberalism to mean. Thank you for the lesson. When I read about Neo-(x-political-term) I generally think of new ideas around it, not ideas reaching back to WWII. My biggest concern after reading your link is:
The term has multiple, competing definitions, and is often used pejoratively.
Also, the last few paragraphs of Current Usage emphasize it’s use as a dog whistle:
“Several writers have criticized the term “neoliberal” as an insult or slur used by leftists against liberals and varieties of liberalism that leftists disagree with.”
and
“the word is nothing more than a political slur, or a term without any analytic power”
I still think it would serve us all to be more precise about what exactly is failing us.
I think that in the minds of Friedman, Hayek, Mises et. al. (who coined the term neoliberal after WW2), it was meant to marry modern pro-market economic ideas (the “neo” part) with classically liberal social ideals, reaching back to the Enlightenment. I think they intended it as a counter to socialism, which combined anti-market ideas with regressive ideas around social and civil liberty (at least, in practical application in the wake of WW2).
But yes, in modern parlance it is often a slur aimed at pro-corporate capitalist kleptocracy.
When I read about Neo-(x-political-term) I generally think of new ideas around it, not ideas reaching back to WWII.
Everything was new at some point. Things are named relative to when they happen, not relative to when you hear about them.
The American Dream is not a myth. People will cry abt how they “can’t afford” a $2,000 a month apartment after choosing to live in the city with the $2,000/mo apartment. Literally just move to the Midwest?
For the love of god can you shut the fuck up about this stuff all the time???
Just as soon as it stops negatively effecting everyone’s lives all the time.
