It’s spreading TO everything. Do you understand what that means? It does not mean “it’s in everything.” It means: it’s in a lot of things, and it’s coming to a lot more things. Potentially: all of them.
And again - if it’s not literally everything, does that make the problem go away? You, yourself, just now, said this business model is not valid. Why the fuck are you still defending its existence?
but every game that matters is liable to demand thousands of your actual dollars
This is not ambiguous. It is an insane ridiculous lie, and the extreme bad faith of posting it inherently invalidates your ability to take part in the discussion.
Then come back and try to engage in this discussion in a way that matters - like when I ask, if YOU think this business model is NOT VALID, why the fuck is it okay? Even if you think someone overstepped from “it’s already half the industry holy shit” to some absolute - why is ANY example tolerable?
If you agree this business model is a scam, the appropriate number of examples is zero. I shouldn’t have to litigate whether the current number of example is a fuckload, a bunch, or a totality. All of those are far too many.
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:
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.
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

Look up the word “liable.”

It’s nowhere near half the industry. It’s a small corner of games that already are dogshit anyways.
2K is one of the only examples where there’s actually a game underneath it to be made worse by the model.

THEN STOP DEFENDING IT.
Fuck!

Say hi to the mods, I guess.
