Oh boy, there we go, another "Here I, Searz, will be a pretentious **** about yet something else"-comment. Why am I not surprised? "Jeez, GMD, I don't know, is it because Searz is always pretentious about literally everything, including desklamps?" Why, yes it is.
First, those people should look up the definition of the word 'scam', but that's besides the point. The point is, people give meaning to things themselves, and yes, I enjoy the "But the companies invented it man, they're making slaves out of all of us" argument as much as all the penniless hippies, but here you are just completely missing the whole idea of engagement rings.
I understand that you want to feel superior by rejecting every possible tradition people of various cultures have ever come up with - because intelligence is your sword, science your shield, and rationality your artillery -, but honestly, I think you should be past your teenage rebellious phase now. The very idea that you can even get pretentious about something as harmless as engagement rings is just laughable to me.
Does any tradition ever serve any real purpose to the people subjecting themselves to it? Rationally speaking, probably not, unless you count the happiness they gain from it. However, if other people do that, what's it to you? Why do you care? We understand that you're against everyone who makes money - except indie developers of course - and against any sort of tradition, religion, standard, etc. But I fail to see why you care that someone else subjects themselves to a particular tradition just because they enjoy it.
I am not mad, vexed, or particularly disturbed by this, but I would like it if, next time; if a similar situation arises, you would just ignore it, polish your Google Glass, adjust your beret, take a sip of lemonade from your mug, and continue playing whatever indie game is literally the best game ever and makes the great companies look like idiots.
Best regards and lots of love,

Nah, then we'd get a video about how lawnmowers are scams because scissors are more cost efficient.
But for real, why do I always show up late for these things.
Edit:
Most people's feelings about Searz by this point. Or atleast mine.
1. OMG we have potentially 11 applicants in our orgnaization (some of them are my friends, yay!)! I am really glad considering Sociology is a degree not many people do not take in our university. Now preparing to have their interviews of me and putting my Intellect Hat!
2. My family is going to a vacation by the weekend!
3. I just realized that I have a year of stay here in this site. :D

As for my happy news, I'm on break for nearly 3 weeks now! Now I can catch up on my 4 games, play ranked and I might write a new guide.
