No, you built a straw man argument.

Do I go around asking for a refund because The Witness has been given for free and I paid for it in full upon release ? That would be entitlement. Not buying a switch because switch games are too expensive for me is not being entitled. I also think not buying a switch because I may think switch games are too expensive is not being entitled.

Yeah, way to go. First you suggest in a reply to me that people who think like you think I do are entitled and then you state your opinion is objective and then throw a blanket statement about something no one said and suggest this position is objectively ridiculous.

Fitting username.

You're right, I did kinda read it as an objective statement when it clearly wasn't. My bad.

Oh, well. Okay, then. Sorry for lashing out at you a bit too much maybe, it's one of these days where I am on the edge.
