It's still swallowing the entire industry

No, it's not. There's phenomenal indie games out there. Hades 2, Elfen Ring DLC and Black Myth Wukong are just some of the latest games I'm having a blast with, and then theres still rimworld, factorio, timberborn, CK3, Dead by Daylight ... The list goes on. None of those games has Ads for ingame purchases (except DbD) and all of them are phenomenal.

None of them are AAA,truey, but idc. Theres so many fun games out there that idc what ubisoft, EA, Activision or other shit companies release.

I think iPhones are overpriced garbage, yet I'm not sitting here and asking for them to be banned - I just don't buy it. I bought a used pixel 6, installed graphen, done.

I think casinos are stupid and a waste of money, yet I'm not sitting here and asking for them to be banned. I just don't go there.

I think Microsoft, google and Amazon are terrible companies, yet I'm not sitting here and asking for them to be banned. I just don't use their products and services.

Making a change starts with yourself. If you don't buy their stuff, great - still plenty of great games out there.

No need to ban it. Just dont participate in it.

Jup. Governments are way too large for their own good, gets involved in way too many private matters and is insanely expensive. We need to drastically downsize the entire thing and have it focussed on their core job again.

No doubt that it does. However, pretending like the world would be a perfect place if those darn corporations would just pay all their taxes is foolish.

Elon Musk is not my enemy. The fact that billionaires got a massive pile of money doesn'ylt affect me in the slightest.

You know what does affect me? Corrupt government officials that embezzle public funds, spend it on stupid projects that only enrich their friends and families. That affects me.

You really think that giving the government access to even more money will help you? Hell no. It's going to end up in the same hands as now, just more of it.

Taxes are a borderline infinite money source, and if you don't have to worry about s source drying up you start wasting it, which is exactly what's happening in many countries now.

You'd probably be surprised and scared if you knew what companies know about you.

I don't quite understand why this is a bad thing. Being documented is an important part of immigration.

in 2023, 92.5 percent of all trains in Switzerland reached their destination on time, compared to only 64 percent for long-distance trains in Germany.

Funfact: In Switzerland, a train is considered too late if it's 2 minutes or more late - in Germany, it's 15

We don't have enough kids because many families that would like to have kids can't afford them.

Many of them can't. There's a very limited pool of jobs you can do when you do not speak the local language.

The bud light fiasco was more consumer-driven than company-driven, no?
