You're defending the owner of a yacht collection and saying his money is used to keep his business lush... Get real.

And you didn't answer my question.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because such a ridiculous take doesn't warrant a response.

Lol. Sure, buddy.

From the get go you start by saying that if they try to lower their cut people will accuse them of trying to become a monopoly, which is completely idiotic considering they're already in a monopolistic position. Then you act like rich people have no power over the fact that they're accumulating wealth while the majority of the world is struggling to live.

I have zero respect for people who defend those who take advantage of the majority.

Off to the block list with you.

He's one of the good billionaires!

(/s for some of you, and for others perhaps you should reconsider why you feel the need to defend a billionaire, regardless of your opinion on video game platforms)
