This is what passes for news today… Holy shit.
“Commenters online are SLAMMING pcgamer’s article on the Helldivers 2 controversy - click for more details”
slaacaa destroys PCGAMER’s coverage of the helldivers2 microtransaction implementation.
“First time?”
I don’t get the bitching. Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No. In terms of stats the gun is nothing special, the armor is quite good, but not essential. For a one time crossover, it’s fine.
It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn’t have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.
Yeah, I can see that one. Using dark patterns is not ok
If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet
Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No.
Will people buy it? Yes.
Will there be more brutally expensive items because of it? Yes.
Will people still bitch about the price? Yes.
They hire psychologists to explicitly figure out how to better make sales. Logical thinking will not win. Microtransactions, which consists of crap you don’t need, is a billion dollar industry and has bankrupted numerous homes.
Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.
Thats true in a surface level way. Buts its equally true about cigarettes, heroin any other adictive substance you can think of.
