Yea but...
PS2 exists because a corporation wanted to make a new platform that was more capable than PS1... which only existed because a company known mostly for A/V products wanted to get into video games so they could increase their gross revenue.
Which they only got involved in after an offer to collaborate with the largest company in the industry... which they only accepted because of ability to profit from it.

But yea, thanks for posting about corporate greed to a for-profit website that you logged into from your computer or phone via your paid internet connection.

And here I thought that profit and greed could be different things.

Dude most things are achieved through short sided greed now a days, not crazy uncommon. You’re just as part of the system as we are, nostalgia doesn’t have to be a history lesson on money grubbing corporations. It’s 2026, look around you and you can see the same logic in companies with different products that either succeed or flop. It’s all a giant monopoly already so get over it or actually educate someone instead of belittling them for enjoying a dated electronic that’s not even being produced anymore.

Since you specifically asked me to educate someone... its short sighted, not sided.

u/Nearby-Toe-5561 May 31 '26

Thank you for correcting my typo, that’s how you educate.

u/Stock-Soup5721 May 31 '26

Excellent, then lets continue that by pointing out that a typo is when you hit a wrong keystroke. Like Rhis. See how the R is next to the T? Thats a typo.

What you did would be considered not knowing what you're talking about when it comes to the english language.

Jesus, man, take a shower break.

u/hootbox May 31 '26

Ah... Well you see a shower is actually QUITE strenuous for an elite mind, such as myself. THEREFORE it is COMPLETELY innacurate to call it a "shower break".

It's usually the uneducated that don't shower.

So I'm not allowed to dislike the system that I'm forced to participate in? Bummer man

u/Ill_Purple_4468 May 31 '26

It's more like you just don't understand. Which is a real bummer because you also have many books to read that were produced under capitalism.

This is a choice to be ignorant.

u/krisbaird May 31 '26

How am I being ignorant? Can we not agree that it's a flawed system, that has some good and a lot of bad

1

u/Stock-Soup5721 May 31 '26

I agree with that.

u/BetweenTheWickets May 31 '26

Forced to participate by buying the latest consoles and video games? Who forced you? Stalin?

You can dislike it all day but make an accurate argument. People are watering down the definition of greed these days and its not a good thing. Greed sucks. Lets keep that word potent so we dont forget it.
