    It’s nowhere near half the industry. It’s a small corner of games that already are dogshit anyways.

    2K is one of the only examples where there’s actually a game underneath it to be made worse by the model.

      It’s literally half of all revenue. You wanna split more hairs instead of addressing the fucking point? Maybe do it by yourself.

      Every game with this shit is made worse. That’s the only way it works. There’s some version of the game that’s optimized for your enjoyment - and you are granted brief glimpses of it, for money. Frustration, disappointment, and exclusion are all openly abused to shove you toward throwing away more actual money. And again: there’s examples of this shit in every genre, in MMOs, in single-player games, et very cetera.

      Not that I should have to justify the problem’s existence to someone who already said:

      I don’t think this monetization scheme is valid.

      THEN STOP DEFENDING IT.

      Fuck!

        Revenue is not the number of choices. It is not an indicator of quality. It is especially not an indicator of the quality of choices when one bad game can suck a few whales dry and make more than several good games.

        It’s not possible to ruin something that’s already dogshit. Microtransactions can’t ruin Ubisoft games because there’s no substance to ruin.

        I never at any point defended it. It’s possible to not support something and also call an obnoxious jackass spreading lies to condemn it the obnoxious jackass he is.

          It’s funny how the jackoff admins never remove anything from the unhinged guy calling everything he doesn’t like a scam in need of government intervention, but always make sure to remove everyone who criticizes him. Quite telling about their integrity
