#SurveillanceCaptitalism

@spelk

Looking back at my relationship with micro-transactions in games, I was sad to observe that more and more time/budget (or part of the pie, as #JoshStrifeSays says) is taken from polishing the game, to monetizing it.

But the more I became familiar with #SurveillanceCaptitalism , the more I understood that it's much more insidious, as they really want to influence (program?) you to become a vessel that will consume for them, with time and money

No thanks :)

Wo hört #Lobbyismus auf und wo fängt #Korruption an? Die Grenzen sind hier oftmals fließend. Und da wird man nicht nur aufs EU-Parlament schauen müssen, sondern auch auf die Kommission. Ob einer kritischen Überprüfung standhalten würde, was da z.B. im Zuge der #chatkontrolle alles eingefädelt wird?
