#this is a dystopian nightmare and capitalism is bullshit and I want to punch something

I cannot even tell you the degree to which it ENRAGES me that SO MANY products have gone to a ‘service model’ where you pay for ACCESS to the thing but do not at any point OWN anything at all.

#games being a 'live service' instead of a product #paying to be allowed to read a comic instead of being able to buy a pdf so you can reread again later #and all of it means they can change the TERMS of that service and lock you out whenever the whim strikes #I fucking hate it #this is a dystopian nightmare and capitalism is bullshit and I want to punch something #babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #this rant brought to you by a bitch wanting to read a comic and finding out it's out of print and her options are 'pay for access' #and 'piracy' #guess which of those is more appealing; it's the one that will give me long-term access without putting me at the mercy of a corporation
