Turns out you have corporate greed to thank for the existence of Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I did not. My actual response is still up there. Saying it doesn't say what it says doesn't magically rewrite it, that's a very weird thing to attempt.

I mean, you know I wrote it, right? I didn't forget, it was ten minutes ago. Nobody else is reading these.

where they’re self-dealing by selling the games at full price, re-purchasing them for pennies and then reselling them for near-full price again.

Replace games with books in that sentence, that you typed, and tell me what the difference is. I will wait.

What are you even doing, man? That's a quote from four posts ago. Out of context, at that.

The term "gaslighting" is overused on the Internet, but misquoting myself at me while ignoring my own responses is... quite the attempt.

Quoting you.

Yes that's how comment chains work.

Out of context, at that.

It is perfectly in context as you're describing the Gamestop business model in that quote.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, it's not. You literally presented the same comparison and got a two paragraph description of how the two models aren't the same, which you're aggressively ignoring, I have to assume for the sake of trolling.

This conversation is bonkers and it is now over.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

No you described the exact same core business model, and then complained about other tactics.

That you don't comprehend business models is very unsurprising given you don't understand how comment chains work.
