I just don't want the government to control the means of video game production. If that happens we will just be playing old video games.
A couple things though...
Much of our taxes are wasted and whether or not its used for good if debateable.
IF COMPANIES AVOID PAYING TAXES LEGALLY THAN ITS NOT TAX EVASION. The problem isn't capitalism, instead its the laws. If you want to attack Rockstar for not paying taxes, you also have to consider employees pay a fortune in taxes. Always try to remember NYC, a city run by people bordering socialism, was going to give Amazon huge tax breaks for their HQ because the amount in payroll taxes was significantly bigger. Hence, when people say big companies pay no taxes its misleading in the sense that cities do generate tax revenue from those companies and why they desire them.
Why are we trying to legalize/decriminalize drug charges, when they objectively destroy lives and communities. Yet when it comes to microtransactions people are suddenly concerned about a relatively harmless addiction? Are communities crumbling and people dying over them? Its stupid. People who are bad with money are just bad with money.
Most people in the gaming industry are obviously left leaning and politics do enter games because of that. The left is like Islam, everything they touch has their dogma injected.

Apparently for the "all inside the state" folks MTX is more dangerous to people than cocaine abuse.
