Not losing your shit over small encroachments is how we got from $2.50 horse armour to every single game locking costumes behind a paywall

You are familiar with the expression: give them an inch and they will take a mile? The slipppery slope? The thin end of the wedge?

I'm not defending Capcom or microtransactions, but this argument seems kinda anti-materialist. No amount of "voting with our wallets" would have ever stopped capitalist executives from monetizing the hell out of anything they could to a more blatant extent. It's baked into the capitalist system of milking art for profit.
