Wow, some terrible answers in here. Look, dumb answers like steal, riot or “eat the rich” don’t do anything. You all sitting there acting like internet keyboard warriors literally does nothing to solve this issue so wake up and get a grip.

To answer op’s question, the only thing one can do is not engage with it. Price increases or not it’s still a free market and you do have choices on what you buy. You don’t need a new truck, or phones or organic eggs or whatever they want to sell you. Take care of yourself, learn to be budget conscious, work on your career and your own journey and ignore the rest, it’s noise. Truly if you’re underwater and can’t afford to live where you are, move. There are places in every state that remain cheap. Food should not be a problem in this country. Everyone can afford $50-100 a week for food and you can stay in that budget if you learn what to buy and what to make with it. If everyone did that it’d be far more effective than rioting or stealing or any other dumb response.

And maybe if he’d done a better job with COVID we’d still not have this problem

Good luck with genocide Trump… If you think he’d give two shits you’re kidding yourself

Putin: “Niet”

Nothing, same as the first time. He couldn’t do what he wants anyway, the stuff he can do can get reversed just as easily. All the other stuff is just noise.

Don’t autopay when possible, keep your credit cards down to one or two and itemize at the end of the month so you can catch things adding up. Things like groceries, budget roughly around the same amount each time, things like eating out, door dash etc that’s where the itemization comes in, do the math or use an app to help add it up. Put money into a savings account whenever you have extra. Do not, I repeat do not look at your bank and go “sweet I have an extra $300 this month, time for a new [whatever]”, put it in the savings

Same, it’s great separating the two and itemizing at the end of the month so you get a better idea where the majority of money is going

LOL, yup keep bashing the customers. Bethesda are sprinting to their grave. Whole lot of trust has been flying out the window since 76 dropped and it doesn’t seem to be slowing

It destroys the brand. The more nudity makes it on the site the more it changes the user base, advertisers change, the whole thing just takes a turn into something completely different

Maybe he doesn’t realize it’ll take a couple decades, and he’ll be dead by then, for any women having children now to see them old enough to fight or have any impact on the country

He never actually wanted it as a company, he only wanted to open it up because he had a misguided belief it was some evil corporation controlling what people can say and he wanted that control instead.

Seems like an ‘ok’ game and is generally liked by the community but therein lies the problem. Ok isn’t good enough anymore and the community interested in a game like this is small and ever shrinking. This wasn’t the game to explode and draw people to the genre so it was never going to meet corporate expectations. Shame because I quite like AoS and think it has a ton of potential as an IP

I’m pretty sure that audience doesn’t care if it’s a little off …

I’d put money on it being about money

It was never about money

Painfully average is how I’d describe it. There’s games with better graphics, better RPG elements, better open world, better space sim, better procedural generation use, better writing, better any one thing (except maybe ship building?). For a game that promised it all it’s turned out to be your average jack of all trades, master of none.

He’s a man baby, he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself and his own ambition. He thinks paying people means you own them, he’ll just lie and bs his was to more VC money over and over and get what he wants because no matter what, he’s regarded as some kind of ‘genius’

Oh who cares anymore. Blizzard is going to do it, the players are going to lap it up with a smile. Just let it be and move on if it’s not for you

For hype, obviously. WoW has literally done that since day 1, blizzard has done it for decades now.

He isn’t doing it for profit, he wants control
