It’s interesting that valve never got any shit for it, it was all directed at Bethesda, but to me it seemed like Valve’s idea.

I sometimes think about how things are so bad in part because there are so many people making unnecessary bad decisions. Like, just don’t buy the horse armor. Do something else.

I have a recurring fantasy of a honey pot for this sort of thing. You advertise like an exclusive doodad that no reasonable person would buy. Maybe extra-large cars. Maybe horse armor. Could be anything. Everyone who goes to buy one goes straight to therapy, and they don’t leave until they’re no longer a fucking moron. Kind of like The Good Place.
And it all died with fucking horse armor that didn’t even provide armor.
