The article is well worth a read; this information would never have come to light were it not for Steam's AI disclosure policy, and the game looks to be a rushed cash grab not involving Grasshopper studio.

Let's be honest, here. This is a company that can easily pay a decent wage for human actors, but it's also a company that - when tasked with growing, decided that having drivers piss in bottles and warehouse workers stress-cry in closets was an acceptable tradeoff.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Buying things you can afford and want to support is a good thing you should do, but piracy is also rad and anyone with an anti-piracy stance is a weirdo who often just doesn't consider the situation logically and I don't care what you think about it.
