The game could also just not have a battle pass. How are people already so indoctrinated into their existence? No paid games should have extra monetisation in.

No, dismissing because of shitty monetisation is great. It could not be implemented in the first place.
Buying a game without reading reviews is like buying a game with these shitty monetisation schemes.
I refuse to buy co-op games that have the online requirement/live service bullshit. It’s only done to sell you battle passes and shit.
Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.
Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.
There’s no such thing. It’s just milking people who are crazy enough to fall into the trap of buying them.
$30 is not a microtransaction, thats a macrotransaction, thats an entire other video game.
Free to play doesnt give a game a pass on predatory business tactics, they are free to play for one reason only… to sell you worthless pixels for ridiculous prices. F2P games are designed for that purpose and that purpose only.
But I agree that any paid game should have zero MTX, cosmetic or not. Industry is killing its creative aspect with all this monetisation shit.
squints
I am sorry.
It’s almost like if people understand why someone is doing something, they don’t judge them! Maybe people should just stop judging people if they don’t understand them!
Its not that deep my guy, its a meme post.
BUT, lets engage your theory, why would they quit and not be fired if they were truly slacking off???
This is was probably more the cashiers got shouted at for talking to their boyfriends for a couple minutes when they came in.
I agree with you, I hate gambling. It has ruined many lives.
But that doesn’t mean I cannot discuss the shit as it exists.
That shouldn’t be too hard to understand. I won’t engage with this further. Have a good one.
I’m not defending anyone, I’d rather you pay for your game and that is it, how it used to be before the 2010s rolled around. I despise micro/macrotransactions, battle passes, the cosmetic trend, FOMO content, I could rant about it all day and how fucked it is.
I was just picking my best of the worst. I see you don’t understand how CS skins work, so I’ll try to explain.
So I get a lot more freedom with my new cosmetic item vs another game:
So yeah, I think Valve have the best of the worst predatory cosmetic systems out there. That’s not defending the practice, I’d MUCH rather the whole cosmetic trend fucked off along with the microtransactions and online systems in singleplayer games and the list could go on…
(Edit: Lmao at you editing and putting ‘for 50 cent’ in there)
What’s new and advanced about this? Hasn’t it all already existed in some form? It’s just been Apple-ified, no? It’s just a VR headset, an actual AR headset is something like HoloLens.
Beyond the tech, who is even the target audience for this? I only see it as a gimmick, one for just Apple geeks to buy. One of the reasons 3DTV’s failed is because nobody wanted to wear the glasses, so why would anyone want to strap this to their face just to do something they already do or could do on their TV/computer/phone?
You can already pretty much do everything this can with an existing VR headset in one way or another, for a lot cheaper.
It’s a bizzare product.
Yeah, the reason why they make so much is because the skins have actual value, they also get 15% on any sale made through their community market. I fucking hate lootboxes, but I also hate skins costing as much as a game. MTX (micro or macro) are always going to be shit, until regulations catch up to all the predatory bullshit we are going to be stuck with one system or another and I’d rather take CS’s.
I mean I made a profit, if I sold up right now.
Even when they get a new user on Linux, they still then scrutinise their choice of distribution, if not that then their IDE. There’s no winning and it’s off-putting for people considering the jump.
Dragons are much cooler than Wyverns, why do they keep getting dunked on like this :(
I was wondering what happened to the Discord IPO. Discord already went to shit, I don’t know what else an IPO could do to it? More restrictions?
