On one hand I understand showing empathy and highlighting that people might be going through mental issues, abuse. However laziness and lack personal responsibility should always be considered as possible factors as well.

I just wanted to highlight the personal responsibility part. Otherwise I agree completely.
Each person is the result of their genetics, upbringing, friend circle, life experiences etc. Having the best parents doesn’t guarantee you turning out well.
Also nothing personal but using big words like this when you can express it much simpler, comes off very pretentious.
Honestly your take feels wild to me as well. Sure you should teach your kids how to take care themselves, but at some point they are an adult and have to take the responsibility for their own lives.
If people don’t have to take personal responsibility what stops them from taking advantage of it? Like you could have the best parents, but claim they messed you up, so refuse to work and leech of them for the rest of your life.
I don’t get why it is parents responsibility if they are 24 and dont have any disabilities. Isn’t it only parents jobs to take care of you till you are 18.
They are in checked out section
What I do NOT understand is whenever people resort to propaganda like this, to try sabotage public perception of an (actually evil) person or company. Yes we know Rockstar is a bunch of greedy bastards, but their games are “nothing groundbreaking”, really? GTA V and Red Dead are listed as two of the most successful games ever made behind only Minecraft.
This is like when an actor gets involved in some sex scandal and everyone suddenly thinks their work is mediocre. Can we really not separate an evil person or company from their work?
I imagine this would be gender neutral phenomenon. Any person who gets famous, suddenly is able to date up and could therefore be tempted by it.

I hate big corporations as next guy, but 80-90% of video games sales today are digital sales. See sources below. To me it seems like an example of people preaching one thing, that they want physical media, and the vast majority silently doing the opposite, because it’s more convenient. Isn’t this at least partly our own fault?
