Battlefield 2042 is $60 right now. One of my friends on Steam plays Battlefield 2042 and I thought hey, that would be pretty cool to play with him. I'm sure it wouldn't be that much because that game came out a long time ago and was extremely poorly received and like, I'm sure it would be really easy to buy that game or get it now since it's been so long and again, very low reviews. The game is $60!! But when it goes on sale, it's like 8$, so 80% off. Truly unbelievable. Why do they do this? Like, they're basically trying to kill the game or something because no one in their right mind would pay $60 for this game, so 90% of the time when it's not on sale, no one buys it or wants to try it out... Also, lots of old games that are "on sale" constantly for like $5 and the base price is 40-60$, so it makes it seem like SUCH a good deal, when in reality, the value has just depreciated...

They never seem to lower the base cost of anything, making it deceptive. Is it really 80% off of a $60 game if no one in their right f*cking mind would pay that much for it ever?

You're allowed to say fucking on the internet

Just a habit, on lots of subreddits now, you get AutoMod deleted or banned from their subreddit if you use curse words. This happened to me on PC gaming subreddit. I got hit with a Perma ban there 3 months ago and they wouldn't tell me why I kept messaging them over and over again, told it was for excessive profanity. Apparently lots of my comments use the f word so that's not acceptable.

Reddit turned into a fucking cesspool of circlejerking degenerates trying to act like they're the holy guardians of the internet.

It's a huge platform, but every day it dies off more.

I started to censor myself too on other platforms because sometimes they have warnings like "Are you sure you want to post this?" and I feel like they're shadowbanning my comment.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're getting put on a list. They probably have it designed that way, people who use offensive language often or certain words, add them to an internal list and restrict their interactions with the rest of the people heavily.

Well fortunately there's none of that shit here!
