Yeah, that's fine. I'm also not interested, because i don't play wow anymore
But the phrase "voting with your wallet" is a term loaded with a narrative to justify everything under capitalism, from anti-consumer behaviors to blaming working people for climate change. Neoconservatives and Libertarians use the idea for how deregulation and privitization is the solution to everything
You don't seem to believe in that nonsense, so I'd encourage you to not use the phrase
Wha youre the one that brought it up
Huh, yeah fair enough, your post just had that energy.
I mean, obviously you don't have to buy a game, but saying just "you don't have to buy the product from the company being anti-consumer" sounds a lot like a defense of them, you know?
