Props for having an open mind!

That's easy for you to say when you're not the one headed to jail

She wasn't placed in solitary for breaking the rule, that's a fairly common rule to break. She was placed in solitary for resisting the transfer.

What are they gonna do that they're not already trying to do? Revolt? Subvert the rule of law? Shoot up some schools?

Well, let them? The people who would take it seriously and get worked up about it are the ones who are in support of this stupid law in the first place.

Are we then supposed to lower the standard of all writing to the lowest common denominator, then? I get your point, but I'm not sure the solution is to move to grade school levels of communication.

Dude, it's tongue in cheek. It's meant to be funny. Even if you don't find it so, it very obviously wasn't meant to be taken seriously

I’m a bit baffled by why anyone would give them money though, since even if you were guilty of a crime in China, the UK doesn’t extradite people to China

Childhood indoctrination to obey the authorities, plus awareness that if China wants you back, they probably won't use the official extradition process. See the recent examples:

The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

The problem does not lie with gamers. It lies with 'AAA' developers who publish unplayable cashgrabs that need years of bugfixing before reaching a playable state, thus leading to expectations of ongoing development. Not that Early Access has helped in that regard.
