Gacha is predatory and if you support it you're supporting loot boxes

>there needs to be more focus on dumbfuck faggots who waste money on this shit and lower standards
You can't just destroy all plebs, user. They'll always be there. That's why we have to focus on people exploiting them instead.

all gachafags deserve to be swindled for all their money

I don't think you understand how deeply embedded gacha and whale phenomenon is in asia. It's barely a thing in the west even if you compare it to fifa.

Cope

Why would you want to stop something that financially ruins idiots?

I don't mind seeing morons suffer. However, I do mind those predatory practices getting normalized so others suffer too, and (((they))) are definitely going to do that if they don't meet any resistance.

I feel a bit conflicted, because I was in that "If it's just cosmetic I don't care" crowd

>I am calm, collected, and intelligent
>I AM SILLY

Fifa, Madden, NBA, they're all status symbols among minorities. The black people in the street outside my building are always showing off that they have the latest sport game.

kekd fuck paypigs and gachabrains

Because the standards they lowered are going to bite us in the ass too, genius.

M8, these practices have been normalized for a long time. To not suffer is to simply not play newer games, which, if you had your wits about you, wouldn't have been doing anyway since like 2017. Gaming's dead, user. Either play older, already released games or find a different hobby.

there's millions of games available already and in the sea of modern shit there's still decent and great games from both aaa and indies coming. Just stop focusing on the turds.

make a good game then.
complaining is pointless user, it changes nothing

How the fuck do you people even find it worthy to spend money on this shit? I can't play for more than 10 minutes because of how generic and boring it is.

>gacha is shit
>but buying a 6 month sub for wow without any content is good

your brain on Zig Forums

because the expanding business will only create more idiots you idiot

>good
we're way past quality now, we are talking about actual addiction

I say we allow the Chinese to drain the bank accounts of stupid people (thus killing them; do not assist them afterward) and then proceed to heavily tax/fine China for all the money they made. Then arm their peasant underclass so they kill off the entire Chinese cityscape.

Its called gambling and a lot of people out there are especially predisposed to become addicted to it. The entire gacha system is basically online gambling that regulations haven't caught up with yet.

Who the fuck mentioned wow

Wouldn't arcade games also be predatory? Is "true gaming" strictly 6th gen or something (after arcade inspired design died out and before the rise of microtranny)?

>first mention of wow in the entire thread
actually schizo

>these practices have been normalized for a long time
Even lootboxes aren't as bad as full on gachaniggery.
>To not suffer is to simply not play newer games
That's what I've already been doing. It works but the medium can be so much more than these skinnerboxes full of legalized gambling. I do love video games and seeing them in this state makes me feel sad.

Yes.

absolutely, but they offer you an endgame from the very start so they're not in the same place

how new?

Noone with any sense says shit like that.

Honestly, the ways of the old masters are still superior: Make it a point to steal every videogame first, and only pay for the ones that sufficiently impressed you to make you feel generous. If it came from any of the really big AAA boys, don't bother paying for it even then, because it's virtually certain that none of the people who actually delivered the experience will ever see that money, or any round-about benefit from it.

you have played outer wilds, return of the obra dinn and the talos principle before bitching about video games dying because low taste peasants are playing low-taste games and fortnite?

The medium *can* be a lot of things but it is usually only one thing, that is the thing that can rope in the most normalfag paypigs with the least amount of effort. That's just the sad fact of the matter, and there really isn't much we can do besides not giving them our money and attention.

Gacha is natural selection, understood.

WTF I love Gacha now. Thinning the weak minded pussies.

Implemented nowadays they would be, but back in the day it was more a relic of the time than anything (not that some arcade games weren't absolutely designed to eat quarters). The only ones that could really stick around and not just be shitty money drains are ones with setups that most people absolutely couldn't just have at home like full driving seats, the silent scope rifle, lightgun games, etc.

>third time this has been posted in the past hour
Tendies will never truly learn, will they?

So does the AC actually have any telemetry? I checked the official forums and miHoYo's official statement says that the AC only operates locally. So is it completely devoid of all telemetry, or does it only run locally in the sense that it checks for suspicious operations?

That first little 5 dollars is a slippery slope.

Yes, I've also played Kingdom Come, Serious Sam 4, Synthetik, Rising Storm 2 and a bunch of other good games. I get your idea. However, if people won't bitch about video games dying, they'll actually die. I remember the hellscape that 7th gen was, I'd rather not take any chances.
Voting with your wallet doesn't work precisely because retards will always outnumber people with taste. Not giving them any attention doesn't work because these terrible practices will just get spread further and further.
It's true that we can't do much as consumers but at least autistic screeching does something once in a blue moon.

Wow user very cool, thumbs up
