Off-topic, anyone remember the early days of rockpapershotgun? Goddamn i miss the stylings of the og writers. Now it's just another game site but I'll never forget some of their early pieces
Yeah, they had a really good thing going on and it's sad that it didn't last.
Guess I will stick to warframe, No Man's Sky and BG3.
Just recently start Skyrim again, with a laundry list of mods, of course.
In the grand scheme of nickel-and-diming I wouldn't call this abysmal
This is the mentality that ruins it for the rest of us. It's shameful.
Well scratch that off of a game I will ever play
counterpoint: it's the far more prevalent mentality of "blaming foolish consumers" that ruins it for the rest of us.
Expecting consumers to ever do differently at scale is a dead-end fantasy we all need to stop having.
Only market regulation stops manipulative market practices.
Doing anything less then "advocating for laws to stop this shit" izza giant waste of brain cells, yet i see threads of people making that useless case every time something like this happens.
Change will not come from consumers voting with their wallets, FULL STOP
If someone readin thinking it will, NEVER think this again.
Hey! I see you, looking for an example of consumer action making a difference: Go find me 100 more. You'll need about 100 to start make up for alla times deregulation have hurt and currently hurting consumers now.
Hear me: anyone advocating for consumer action or blaming consumers is doing them companies dry-fucking us a huge favor. These bad actors can and will continue as long as it is legal to do so.
When it comes to video games, idgaf if someone wants to give a game dev thousands of their own dollars because they want to pay an idiot tax.
It's a free market, and we're all free to just not play the fucking game. Actually that's the default so just doing nothing is plenty.
I get what you're saying but we're not talking about groceries here, we're talking about something that could literally cease to exist and aside from some folks maybe being out of work nobody would even notice or care. I do agree though that strong regulation is much better than expecting consumers to stop consuming something as long as it's a necessary thing or something with quite inelastic demand (ie: medicine).
Yeah, i don't disagree with a thing ya wrote. I'm not claiming that people shouldn't care; just that it's better to push for regulatory change rather than trying to affect change thru collective consumer action/raising awareness.

Don't buy these predatory games, refund if you did. Stop supporting these scummy companies, it's the only way they will learn.

they have been doing this for a while. at least since dragons dogma online. In monster hunter worlds I used cheats to give myself the cosmetic edit currency item but no idea if that works in any others.
DD2 is highly cheatable and moddable, the cash shop is just a really poor joke honestly. The game has absolutely no way to check for cheating unless you give your pawn equipment they can't actually use or edit their stats to be something impossible.
