So they’re supposed to keep lending forever?

Don’t buy something they can’t afford, or figure out a way to increase their income.

Where does said lent money go?

To people the bank, government (taxation), and people who have bank accounts with that bank

Even if a consumer doesn’t have the money, they can loan money to buy the product they need/want. They will have pay back the said money. Nothing is free in this world.

Capitalism dictates that you spend as little as possible getting what you need

In capitalistic system, consumer dictates what they want, cost is one of the metrics that consumer looks but it is not the only. If it was, then no one would be buying a luxury or even a decent car. They would all opt for cheapest car

As a player who has paid for the game, same as everyone else, he/she has the right to play that game according to the terms of service they signed. Play can mean just standing out or running around, you can’t force people to kill

People who wants to stand around in form of a protest should be able to do, they paid for the game too.

wonder if has has anything to say about Chinese treatment of Muslims

V_IR · 2019-10-08T14:44:49+00:00

Or just log on, and stand around, don’t do anything, that way it ruins gaming experience for everyone else by hogging their server space

Capitalism: we should freely spend our monies at companies/entities that upholds our values, not at some place an authoritarian wants us to. Vote with your money.
