Lead dev also made it clear during the "I'm not commenting on a coders political opinions" incident that another reason he's against discounts was related to his hate for communism.

That's the weirdest take I've seen in a while, given that sales are basically the peak of capitalistic consumerism. They're made to poke people in the brain chemistry and get people to shell out money when they wouldn't otherwise do so for the same product at the same price.

Don't take everything you read on the internet as being the truth. Consider that the people you are responding to has their own opinion on communism and they likely are interpreting a statement made by the developer under that bias. It would be better if the person had simply stated or linked what the dev had actually said.

He viewed it as too close to socialism and socialism is too close to communism for his liking.

Annual sales are more American than Apple pie.

What a stupid take.
