    I don't think you know what "strawman" means.

    But anyway, the "actual problem" is your own internal struggle about market forces dictating changes in how your pet-product is delivered.

    People said this same shit when the "greedy" record companies shut down Napster.

    You basically want your investment in these games to be capped at whatever the off-the-shelf MSRP is. You like that, cause its been that way for a long time, and change intimidates you. You are clutching to this white-knight sense of fairness that no one cares about except you. Like...you feel that a persons ability to compete in these games should be driven by their time invested and gaming talent. Now someone with more money than you can buy a winning character and do everything you can do, in a tenth of the time.

    I get why that might upset you, but suck it up cupcake.

    Sometimes businesses make accommodations for higher-profile, higher-frequency, or higher-paying customers. Just because you have a reservation doesn't mean that some high-roller can't drop the Maitre D a c-note and steal your table.

    That's life
