       although reading forums makes me both sad for the state of gamedevs but also humans in general.:blobcatlord: completely predatory practices? you should just git gud at not being preyed on, scrub!:blobcatfacepalm: i hate this planet

       @icedquinn@blob.cat Those always read to me as they either think they're exceptional, or they are comfy with the predation because it gives them comfort or something.

       @siina probably. i find it telling that funcom as a norwegian company was ethical and the instant they sell off to the fuckin chinese suddenly it's suspiciously off priced microtransactions with "but its just cosmetics bro", "battle pass" grinds, cash shop and FOMO up the ass. all the paypig features being rolled out.it makes me rather sad for humanity to see people defend this kind of crap.

       @siina If FOMO is really an issue, I think it comes down to the individual and not the company behind it, if you really can’t live without paying money for that shiny new sword that doesn’t offer any additional benefits to what’s already in game for free other than a unique vanity item you can show off for what? Bragging rights?it’s kind of wild how people willingly look past the argument about how predation works and really do just say “just don’t get preyed on bro lmao :blobcatlord:” i wonder if these people would still call the police if you robbed their homes :gummythink:

       @icedquinn@blob.cat Just because something was good at one point doesn't mean it still is, and this especially applies to companies. But people don't like to think that way, doubly so of other people. :')
