Topic	Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions
Rexdragon125 02/14/18 6:15:01 PM #14:	slothica posted... Games as a service and microtransactions are terrible concepts and you should feel terrible for defending them. This. They're grindy tedious garbage because they want you to play for a long time. And since they can't be bothered to come up with proportionate content, they get you addicted to playing the same few things over and over with cookie cutter skinner box psychological tricks. They're designed to be boring on purpose so you feel those endorphin hits better from those brief moments of excitement you get from a drop. They're designed to be awful on purpose to try and get you to pay to skip the awful parts. TheCurseX2 posted... He's right. I always said that casuals will slaughter the gaming industry and year by year I'm proven right. They don't even make games anymore, not games like you're used to anyways. They make 'hooks' and hope to catch as many as possible. More care goes into the UI for an in-game shop than it does to compelling narratives, gameplay, and so on. Low effort dogshit. Yup, gaming is past its prime. <cite>Rexdragon125 posted [p:896092380] in Jim Sterli...
