Buying video games from big corporations IS a mechanic for funding right-wing populism, but every time you say that in a public space people who are defensive about their vidya games get reaaallllly touchy.
edit: even funnier than I expected, ya'll didn't even read "big corporation" and your eyes fixed on "video games" and we're at the same level of discourse as when you say to some chud "that's some toxic kinds of masculinity" and they say "masculinity isn't toxic!!" I hope you're proud of yourselves.
Yeah, fluff me for wanting to experience non-traditional forms of art, right? I should just be cultured and go to a museum or a gallery. Oh look: https://www.sifter.com.au/post/hollow-knight-silksong-will-be-playable-at-acmi-game-worlds-exhibit-in-melbourne

You're an unpleasant person.
Sorry I made you feel a moment of discomfort as you realized what I'm actually talking about and how you're just so ready to fight someone online that you jump on a bandwagon of aggression against others because it's fun and makes you no different than the people you claim to despise in other contexts.
Pro-tip, If you retreat to deeper and smaller social bubbles you can avoid ANY unpleasant interactions at all.
Yea wow, you're doing a great job of proving my point! Look at you go! So talented!! Woah!
I feel like you're not handling any of this well, I'm blocking you for our shared interests in having a better day.
It would have been easier to just say:
"That's coming with the update that adds Call of Duty and Fortnite into the game."
