Ideas like "sunk cost fallacy", "strawman argument" and other "common traps of thinking" are probably true to some extent and come from valid experiences. But uncritically categorizing certain kinds of thoughts as "bad thinking" like this is weird. Instead of thinking deeply about the subject yourself and inventing your own concepts for how things work, you dismiss the idea based on a list of fallacies on Wikipedia..

Technology companies and software producers abuse their users (=you) by: #1 Monitoring you and collecting data about you for profit. #2 Letting you pay for your software, but not own it. #3 Making the software you use obsolete, so you have to buy new hardware. (There are probably more but these are the ones I think of right now...)

I will upload something new to the new game next week. Nothing special, but I do this to keep myself accountable of finishing my projects...

The game /MANAGO (or "How to bankrupt a management company")/ version 0.89 is out on https://bankrupt.kbz.se ! It's a bit more polished than last time, but still no structure in the story and no testing done.

I have no idea what 0.89 means. I'm not 0.11 away from finishing, that's for sure...

So, the game is still in a rough phase, but it's more polished, looks a bit better and feels a bit better than the previous versions. The difference is subtle, but it's there.
I can't promise I will change this, but I want to try to be a better example myself with https://kbz.se, and hopefully influence the culture to make others want to be a better example too. It's not impossible, and it's not even hard to do the opposite of what the majority does. You just have to care about being good.
My current answer to 3 points above are: #1 kbz.se doesn't collect cookies other than save data for the games. (https://kbz.se/cookiepolicy)
#2 I'm planning a way to download the games as single HTML files containing all code and all assets (graphics, music, etc), so you can open it locally in your web browser, without needing the kbz.se server or even an internet connection at all. (EP3 of This Is (NOT!) A Car Club exists in this form so far: https://kbz.se/download)
#3 I try to make each new game more backwards-compatible than the previous one, and I can do this since I'm constantly learning more about how the web platform works. Contrary to other game consoles and computer games, on kbz.se the newer games will probably work _better_ on older hardware/browsers and not the opposite. (just threw together a page for this for consistency https://kbz.se/compatibility)
