Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
Seethe? If I sound angry you’ve misinterpreted my tone. This is more like apathetic resignation in the face of some facts. You’re informing a niche audience while the majority of consumers supporting the thing you’re against aren’t here and couldn’t give a fuck. If you actually intend to put a stop to this you’re gonna need a bigger more motivated audience.
Its like the naivety I would see on reddit when they would slap “dont preorder” posts everywhere. It doesn’t do shit in an echo chamber, the people doing most of the preordering weren’t actively visiting gaming subreddits.
You like to make a lot of assumptions too. I’m actually with you in a sense - I’ve never paid for an MTX in any game, ever. Cell phone games I’ve tried are a disappointing waste. I used to be you, trying to inform people, but the average person just does not give a fuck. Ive been telling people to ditch Facebook for 15 years. Told them to get rid of google for the past decade. Tried to get them to ditch purchases of licenses that prevent actual ownership of goods. Its like trying to sweep the ocean back from the coast. Like, good luck, I truly hope you succeed, but the reality is a little too obvious.
