Ah yes. All those heroes scalping Xboxes, PS5s, Switches, GPUs, and event tickets for the last few years deserve a statue or holiday to honour their tireless commitment to improving society.

Without their botting, buying out inventories, and order limit evasion, someone who’s not wealthy might be able to enjoy the latest in entertainment or buy gifts for their children. Can you imagine?

Not sure a statue is necessary but they certainly earned their money.
They also earned the disdain they receive for being scum.
Doesn't earned implied 'honest work done' otherwise its theft right ?
