> it feels like a weak excuse for "fuck the customer" as always.

Of course it is just an excuse to "fuck the customer" and grab the money, but it is not something you should question, because in our society you don't question how companies make money.

And it doesn't matter if you are the offended part, people will just protect the state of affairs,even at their own expense.

Just look how people always find a justification for this crap and look how you are being downvoted for pointing another one.

I see this all the time on Reddit where someone points to some kind of consumer-hostile tactic from Apple and some people feel compelled to defend them with "but they need to do that to have the highest profit margins in the industry".

Kind of understandable after seeing the reaction, I would guess that the same tricks are expected to be made by middle-man companies. Hate the game not the players, I guess?

It's not like the game had fixed rules and everybody is playing by the same rules.

The rules are made by the players, while they are playing the game.

The problem is that are players following rules the benefit all players and are other players doing rules that benefit only their own at expense of the others

You can hate the players for perpetuating the game you hate.
