  40. You know what’s hilarious about people complaining _so much_ about digital only games purchases? Those same people keep buying them.

    If the income is still incoming, the complaints become just noise.

    If you truly hate online only digital only games purchases, stop buying them. Publishers don’t measure game popularity in how noisy people complain. They measure popularity in dollars.
