Not going to waste my time addressing most of your post since it's basically a long-winded "nuh uh, I'm no victim, I'd definitely know it if I were" as you sit there shuffling nervously with a black eye.
But I did want to come in here and stare in utter disbelief at your 'be realistic' glib. I am beyond realistic, you're the one living a literal delusion lmao. If you're confused as to why people are raising their eyebrows at people like you, then you either didn't read my post or let your brain shelter you from the hard truth.
Either way, I do fully admit my complaining is ultimately pointless, because I don't think people like you can ever be helped without serious regulation changes, same for gacha games and similar predatory practices in the gaming industry... But I'm tired of people saying variations of "it's not a big deal" only to watch a dude on stream slowly realize he spent $15k USD for a statistically different weapon that looks the same as the basic one for a game that will eventually shut down and start crying, right there, on stream. Even if that's not you, you're enabling people like that and just don't seem to care. In my eyes, that makes you just as bad as the soulless corps doing all these predatory practices.
Some people really need a firm helping hand, personally I think it should be to slap them across the face instead of hold them back at the chest, but hey, whatever.
Just don't blame me for shaking my head at your back and wondering where the people who care about you are in your life to teach you better. Or that these developers lack any sense of morality, or, at the very best, reasonable amounts of competence.
