Came to mind because Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the greediest fighting games I’ve ever seen, with the recent announcement of a $12 Halloween fatality plus all characters + DLC adding up to $118, so I’m assuming it’s because Warner Bros/Netherrealm Studios just wants more bonus money, so I’m genuinely curious how that whole thought process came to be, and if there’s any way for society as a whole to counteract that, or is it simply built into capitalism and we’re stuck with this forever.
Edit: I didn’t buy MK1, just know people who did because I go to tournaments
Money is the root of all evil. Always has been, and always will be. If there’s a dollar to be made, some crook will try to steal it.
Read your books, bro. "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil" is the full quote. Money itself is but a tool. A dangerous one if ill-handled, for sure, but it's still just a tool.
Greed is an evolutionary adaptation which predates money.
