    the first thing to realize is that most of the cost of a game goes to publishers, not the creators.

    weed was destigmatized even being illegal for the longest time.

    legal != moral

      My edit obviously. It does feel like that though. I pay Netflix, not the people making the movie. For games it is at least a bit better - I pay Valve (Steam) and the publisher but at least some of it goes directly to the devs. But it could be better still I suppose. But I’d honestly be okay if we got a Steam-like platform for series and movies where I could buy the ones I want without any subscriptions.
