OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of game publishers expecting us to throw our money at unfinished products! 💸

First they're like "Hey, pre-order this game that's basically just concept art and promises!" Then they hit you with the silent treatment when you say no. But WAIT! Suddenly they're back, BEGGING you to buy their stupid in-game currency with the world's most pathetic discount! 😱

It's the digital equivalent of a car salesman following you to your car with increasingly desperate offers. The gaming industry has literally turned into that clingy ex who just won't take a hint! And we're all just standing there with our wallets clutched to our chests, traumatized by years of buggy day-one releases.
