Grim Dawn and Last Epoch are indeed good, but for me nothing beats Path of Exile. Whenever I play other ARPGs, I'm just missing stuff from PoE

From the very release it seemed like it was gonna be a meh game. Not bad, not good, just perfectly ok, and with how many good games exist today, I never saw any point in playing it.
And, yeah, that's basically what the conclusion ended up being.
A lot of stuff in nature *just is*, and there doesn't have to be any reason for its existence. Nature is messy and chaotic, and that's one of the beautiful things about it.
Why do we like some of things and dislike others? Why do some people find some things sexually arousing and some don't? Why does sexuality and gender identity vary between people? Why do some people like video games, or snowboarding, or dancing, or doing theater, or collecting rocks, or all sorts of different things, and some don't? Why are some people introspective and like philosophizing and others don't? And then there's all sorts of different physical variances like height, size, shape, colour, etc
Sure, some of these may have evolutionary reasons, but do all of them? Or maybe a lot of variance in humans (and nature in general) *just is* because nature is not clean, robotic, and perfectly logical, and never has been?
Nature is messy, chaotic, and it's not clean or perfect or able to fit in perfect categories. And that's what makes nature interesting and beautiful. It wouldn't be the same if everything operated like a perfect robotic machine, if that would even be possible in the first place.
Nah, I was just too lazy, but now that you put forth the challenge, I have absolutely nothing to hide :3
I love being open about this stuff
That's not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.
The HPV strains that cause warts are not the same ones that cause cancer, AFAIK
There are like dozens of different strains
In addition, HPV vaccines do not prevent warts, they only protect against the cancer-causing strains
Build alternate platforms and products whose goal isn't profit. Aka, FOSS!
And then overthrow capitalism, but that one is a bit more ambitious.
And if you have the game downloaded, you still have the files. Just as much as you have a disk.
On the other hand, disks stop being produced far sooner than digital games stop being sold/hosted.
So the issue is about having DRM, not whether it's sold on physical media or not. Digital games don't necessarily need to have DRM either.
Why do you think a game on a physical disk won't have securities?
Well, you can make copies of digital media too.
Sure, there's DRM, but it doesn't matter whether it's digital or physical in that instance, DRM can be added either way.
It's enough to look at how much stuff is available in a supermarket, or in the average, home, to know we live in an age of abundance. The problem is, is that abundance is not shared, but hoarded.
We have enough food to feed the world, we have enough production for everyone in the world to have a smartphone and internet access and electricity. We can make clothes for everyone, we can home everyone. We have enough healthcare for everyone.
By an objective measure, we have abundance, we have enough. The world is just severely mismanaging our resources and the distribution of them. Because the economy doesn't work for humans, instead humans work for the economy.
