Can’t speak for the author as to their intentions, but that’s what I took from it.

I would just add, it doesn’t matter if it’s for food or for a game or anything else, an animal died. And in this case it was cheaper to get meat and take an animals life than make a digital version.

I’m not vegan, I’m not trying to speak for others, but it is my takeaway that the point is an animals life is worth less than a digital steak.
