It’s literally half of all revenue. You wanna split more hairs instead of addressing the fucking point? Maybe do it by yourself.

Every game with this shit is made worse. That’s the only way it works. There’s some version of the game that’s optimized for your enjoyment - and you are granted brief glimpses of it, for money. Frustration, disappointment, and exclusion are all openly abused to shove you toward throwing away more actual money. And again: there’s examples of this shit in every genre, in MMOs, in single-player games, et very cetera.

Not that I should have to justify the problem’s existence to someone who already said:

I don’t think this monetization scheme is valid.

THEN STOP DEFENDING IT.

Fuck!

You’re defending it right now. You’ve defended it in every single comment, in-between pretending your reading comprehension makes me a fraud. As if repeated clarification passes through you the way neutrinos pass through solid fucking rock.

Say hi to the mods, I guess.

It’s funny how the jackoff admins never remove anything from the unhinged guy calling everything he doesn’t like a scam in need of government intervention, but always make sure to remove everyone who criticizes him. Quite telling about their integrity
