Yeah, but I like to play PC games.

At least most of the spinoff stuff is better, if still not great.

Wow, that’s a lot of the franchise to dislike. You don’t even like episode 6?

I agree. I had a lot of hope after episode 7, but it turned out so bad. A lot of the individual elements, like you said, are good. But the whole trilogy is definitely less than the sum of its parts.

I love the tactile feeling of writing on paper.

My thoughts exactly. It’s all devolved into savage economic darwinism. Giant corps won’t stop until they own literally everything, and even then, it likely won’t be enough. It truly is a cancer on society. It’s not like I want to abolish capitalism, I’m no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There’s a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:

The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.

I’m not an economist, but what is the endgame here? Eventually, in their ideal delusions, every household has their own subscription. How do they intend to fuel growth then? Just more price increases? I don’t understand this extreme capitalism. Can’t a business just be happy to be profitable? Why do they focus so much on indefinite growth like some kind of tumor?

I did. I’m disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
