But it was the “beginning” with the most exposure to the average gamer. Everyone hated it, nobody wanted it, yet seemingly more than enough still bought it, which ultimately lead us here.
Yet, which game exactly started it, isn’t important for my point being. It somewhere started, and we still purchased and decided with our moneyz if such practices are fine with us. And obviously it was fine or else this thread Wouldn’t be there.
Be glad it’s still there and found an okay way to pay for costs. Pavel might be rich, but tgram grew a bit big for a hobby/vision payment alone. And there’s nothing behind the paywall anyone really needa, so it’s fine for me. Better than selling my data and calling the app “free”. He never said it would never happen. He just promised (back then) that it would always remain free to use. Which it is.
The stories are annoying, yes. But people are using this shit. I don’t understand why, but I don’t get social media in general.
Well. We, the gamers, get what we deserve. Did we purchase shit like this before? Yes.
Did we buy Skyrim’s horse-armour and started it all? Yes.
Do we now pay for cheat-codes in a 70-moneyz single-player-game? Also Yes.
Obviously, or companies would stop to come up with such turds coz it wouldn’t sell.
I will wait for a crack even though i couldn’t await this game. But this? Nooooo. It hurts my fefes.
How dare you? It won Steam’s innovation-award! And it was surely full of innov…never mind. I’ll show myself out.
Wouldn’t say “fool”, but surely lacking reflection on that topic.
Seriously, who still cares what those “totally independent” sites say? The ratio-graph between site-size and trustworthyness is converging to zero.
Not to say the game isn’t great. It most likely is.
Absolutely the damn LED. I would love to trade the stupid never-being-used selfie-cam for a damn 5 cent LED.
And swappable batteries. And a headphone-jack. And root by default (imagine you winpc came with no admin-pwd. Lol)… And…
The currency-selling started way before wow too. In one mmo the money-spiral went so far the drain that people who played 8 or more accounts simultaneously were the tits. You had to buy a 2nd acc at the very least to be half-way competitive. It disgusted me so bad that i ultimately quit this otherwise beautiful game (dark age of camelot).
As to cheats. I love cheats and use them to my hearts desire. Be it to see everything on the first run (there are too many games in my backlog nowadays) or to make a fun 2nd run, or just to skip things i don’t enjoy (like carryweight in an rpg, me being a hoarder). I never cheated in online games of course. That would beat the purpose. Using denuvo anticheat on a singleplayergame just to make cheating impossible so that people buy their cheats… That’s where they can really suck my schlong and I’ll just pirate.
