Quoting: GuestForcing players online to have a complete single player experience is evil, and if you WANT abuse like that then I question where your income is coming from and your morality.

Quoting: GuestGrow up your empathy towards others.

I'm definitely not a fan of the "oooh…yeah!" moaning going on whenever you take a checkpoint or spawn back at one. You can adjust it, to have a less graphic "ah yeah!" but that's even more annoying. Look, sometimes I fell off the same platform like a hundred times, it really irritated me. I wish I could turn it off.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIf you're going to define greed as anything beyond just trying for "your share", then I think it's going to include a lot of what some of the other people here want to exclude. And it's certainly going to include about all the people I was talking about in my original post that got people annoyed, thus meaning there was no point in bugging me about it.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyLet's see . . . one might distinguish greed as the refusal to weight other factors such as causing distress to others when deciding whether to pursue a gain, or something like that. But then, some people are clearly greedy and yet have limits to what they would do for a buck. It's tricky.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut if you just read the sentence "Greed is not the same as seeking your own advantage"--well, what is it then?
Perhaps we could come up with a decent, reasonably well defined distinction between bad greed and good not-exactly-greed, but I would suggest that it's subtle enough to make use of the term pretty defensible . . . especially since nobody seems to quite agree what they want to call it instead.

Quoting: tuubi"Greed" might not be the best term, and clearly carries different connotations in different cultures, but until someone suggests a less "accusatory" word (and I'm accusing the system, not individuals here) that is still explicitly negative, that's what I'm sticking with.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI can see it's a disturbing thought. And I'm willing to believe you are, say, less greedy than many or most other people. But you are constrained to be motivated by money; it's the game in town. Do you prefer buying things on sale or full price? If you have retirement savings, do you want them to make a high rate of return? Would you like a raise? Would you like to win the lottery? Do you worry about either the poor, or the rich, taking all the money (via social programs or immigration for the former or tax breaks/evasion and subsidies for the latter) and leaving none for your kind of people?

Quoting: x_wingNot sure what happened that Liam had to suppress comments but this is just a security threat that any application can have (remember Shellshock).

Quoting: PatolaAnd then again, Itch does not have regional prices, and to people in the third world like me, their prices are simply excessive, I have never spent 1 "real" (brazilian currency) there. Sometimes Steam is like 4 times cheaper than in there. So in my viewpoint, they are the greedy ones.
