Current Events > Pay to Win games arent all that bad tbh

(+) Yeah! (+)

You have the choice to spend exactly as much as you want for cool perks and stuff, people who dont like it probably complain about easy mode on games as well.

It depends on what is the "win" here.

Being angry about exclusive powerful stuff locked behind paying only, is justified, but being angry about someone paying to save time in getting an item everyone can normally get via grinding, now that I think is debatable.

I didnt know EA had a gamefaqs account

Definitely a take I would expect of tc.

Counterpoint: Yes they are.

Except that all that cool and fun stuff will rapidly decrease I'm value as something better and more pay to win comes along?

Thus ripping you off and ruining the experience you paid money for. Along with having to continuously pay money just to stay there you are in terms of enjoyment.

Then Ill just pay more money, whats the big deal the choice to spend or not is still mine. If I like the game Ill continue to spend money on it, if I dont or think the prices are not worth it then I wont, its a pretty fair transaction at the end of the day tbh

And maybe you have the money to do that but not everyone does.

It isn't fair to those who don't.

What are your thoughts on cryptocurrency?

I refuse to believe this is a real opinion

Tc is apparently fully okay with the idea that if you dont continually pay money you are objectively worse off than people who do

what the fuck

I guess, they should have a luxury gaming class for people who dont mind the pay2win system. Its like airlines having first class, its not like those who cant afford those seats complain about the price, pay2games should be classified similarly so people dont have the expectation its for them if its out of their price range

Okay no wonder this dude defends STERO

makes more sense after seeing this

Pay 2 win games feed off predatory FOMO so hard it isn't even funny.

You could go "yeah but you don't need to have the new stuff" which is absolutely true but a lot of people cave to that easily.

Who the hell plays multiplayer anyway

The real crime is this "timesaver DLC" bullshit. The kind of thing where they made the game tedious af in an attempt to tempt you into paying to not play it.

You say that, but if it was then you would immediately be beat out by some whale who is more than willing to spend a quarter of a million dollars or whatever insane amount of money to trounce you, make your game experience worse, and drive up costs.

Yeah. Saw the title and then the tc and was like "yeo, that checks."

like buying lottery tickets frankly

Any game where it's a reward to not have to play it is one to drop immediately.

Tbf, all grinding in games is more or less padding in the same way
