No, because pay to win is not my idea of fun.

As far as guy gamers (and some women) being butthurt about not finding enough real women in online games, yes.

Women are more likely to be casual players by a wide margin. So when you say "this game needs less casuals", pushing for the devs to make that happen will inadvertently also shoo away a large portion the female playerbase.

No online game developer should ever cater 99.9% to casuals, though.
It's a recipe for chasing away the real moneymakers in the game: the "whales".
Success is usually dependent on a balance between longtime vets and incoming casuals. Have to please both.

video game company executives, like other business, will cater to whatever will get them the most money. excessive dlc, shoddy games that require less money to make but are good enough to get the most players, etc.

dont blame the majority of people for a society that glorifies the rich and commercialism

absolutely not

Casuals are the kind of people to download candy crush and spend $200 gambling in it

Casuals are the kind of people to buy cod and fifa every year along with stupid ass card packs

Casuals are the kind of people that corporations try to cater to, not actual gamers

Sounds pretty hardcore to be willing to fork over more money for a game, while casuals clearly don't care enough about a game enough to actually support it.

blaming probably 90% of a markets consumers for the fact that capitalism favors cutting corners and exploitation of consumers is pretty silly. i dont understand fuming about not real gamers, when game companies totally COULD make top notch quality games that still appeal to a wide majority of consumers

are you actually arguing that the problems you see in the video game industry rest on the shoulders of the wide majority of people playing games that are formulaically marketed and designed to be the most addicting/common denominator level of fun and not on the shoulders of those who use that formula?

i understand your point that casuals buy the products and so companies keep making them, but youre taking a very zoomed-in view of what is a much larger problem that affects literally any entertainment industry

No girl has ever called him Daddy, so he has to include it in polls on gamefaqs.gamespot.com.
