    Exactly. And, often, if one part of the contact is unenforceable, the entire thing is void.

    So, as soon as they try to do illegal shit in the contract, it should be deemed unenforceable and thus void.

    Should.

    I wish there was a government entity or agency that just went around decimating people’s lives for predatory practices like this. Oh? You wanna be an LLC and try an MLM? Straight to jail. You want to capitalize on teenagers’ insecurity by raping their privacy and feeding them ads? Jail. You think you’re gonna make it big by trapping people in predatory gym contracts and make it nearly impossible to leave without paying a bunch of fees? Believe it or not, directly to jail.

    Shrug. People like their ways. As I get older, elitism is somehow making less sense. But just as other people are allowed to like gambling or paying a ton to support a game they like in a way that I don’t, or even think is bad for everybody, so to, then, am I allowed to say what I think and they to downvote me for doing so.

    I think people make whatever things they need to, work. I don’t like the effects it has on expectations within the community and industry, but if people enjoy paying into a game that may not even be fun… Then that’s kind’ve whatever.

    For what it’s worth, I have heard the game is a good game, despite it having atrocious monetization. That’s just not for me, as it takes away far more than it gives.

    It’s kind’ve like how everybody’s experiences are different, and so our perspectives are all different, and so then our values and opinions. I’m truly not even bothered by disagreement with my comment, I’m the one that came in here and offered up my negative opinion. And it has been read, and nobody’s been banned and nobody’s been hurt and everybody’s a little more aware of each other. That’s good jizz, to me.

    I appreciate your support, though. I also wish rational discussion took place more often than screeching or mic dropping or other rhetoric. But, again, people do what they can, and it’s all good. No harm, no foul.
