Gamers continue to buy the games by publishers that do this and will continue to put up with it as they slowly boil like frogs.

It's difficult to fight the slow conditioning that started with horse armor and Farmville. There's no escaping it until we replace capitalism with something better.

The problem with the boiling frog metaphor is they would only stay in the water after being lobotomized.

Actually that makes perfect sense, carry on.
