    That’s just you not buying a thing because it’s too expensive.

    yeah, that’s what Im doing. I am not hurt in anyway by not buying this thing, no one is making me buy it. That is an option for literally everyone, no one has to buy it. Im not a protesting activist trying to change Blizzard, Im simply not affected by this. The only people that are, are people that want to pay $90 for early access. If they dont want to, nobody is making them.

      Yeah, that’s fine. I’m also not interested, because i don’t play wow anymore

      But the phrase “voting with your wallet” is a term loaded with a narrative to justify everything under capitalism, from anti-consumer behaviors to blaming working people for climate change. Neoconservatives and Libertarians use the idea for how deregulation and privitization is the solution to everything

      You don’t seem to believe in that nonsense, so I’d encourage you to not use the phrase

          Huh, yeah fair enough, your post just had that energy.

          I mean, obviously you don’t have to buy a game, but saying just “you don’t have to buy the product from the company being anti-consumer” sounds a lot like a defense of them, you know?
