I don't think we should consider these as luxuries. They should be the base experience

But do you understand how much money you can make if you make them paid Add-ons or subscription based?!?! Think of the money! Think of the riches!

Treat yourself to a two-hour nap without our latest Life DLC™! Only $29.99*!

*Per nap. We cannot guarantee you will fall asleep or stay asleep. All DLC is non-refundable.

$29.99? Must've been a formatting issue because there should be some more numbers out front or at least tell me we've got a premium solution with a 60% guarantee

Good point. Disregard my earlier comment

We have made it so that having the freedom to choose, a most basic human need, feels like doing incorrect stuff.

Like, just choosing to leave a relationship subjects you to so much pain and hate that you'd rather not do it.

It sucks, but sadly a lot of these things are luxuries. Some are getting better but others worse (for example, there are less birds now than in the past, or at least it seems that way).
