What I find utterly asinine is it seems like the even care less about profits than they do feeding their egos and following this shit model of operation. Building shit games, injecting all the dlc, microtransactions crap and then charging so much no on wants to buy more. I constantly overspend on GOG and the like because its easy to get me in the door. If I have to save up to buy a game I have a lot of time to talk myself out of it.

What are you doing on your work VPN that you care if the government illegally looked at? I work in an industry that legally requires security like a VPN and I don’t care if the government broke the rules. It’s above my paygrade.
