pain

That was me with Union x. Every 2 weeks or so I would buy the weekly box to get all the cool medals

I eventually stopped when I couldn't get MoM Kairi

yeah.... same.

Never... again.

I think the most I dropped on the game was to get a medal for Aced. I stopped playing soon after when I realized how bad the game’s power creep was going to be.

cries in broken pvp

honestIy
l had stopped pIaying the game for a fuII year untiI l heard about when the game was gonna die after the finaI update

that was IiteraIIy the best time of the game, with aII of it's wonderfuI discounts easy to get any medaI, any trait you want can be bought

it was great
too bad it came extremeIy utterIy Iate

So what you’re saying is we should just wait until Missing Link is about to die to start playing

yes.

Ask me how much I've spent on Genshin

How much?

Well good for you lol

....ssssssooooooo

l need someone to teIi me why Toei Ioves to crop DBZ

and aIso give it this weird green tint

Way I see it, if a game says it's free to play, then I'm not gonna put money into it

what makes this even weirder is Iike
there is sIightIy more screen added onto the right and Ieft

but aIso way cut off from the top

we haven't had a good DBZ home video reIease in over 15 years.

the correct move 😌

Thing is, if everyone shared that mindstate F2P games would be extinct. Gotta show thanks for the money whales who keep the wheels greased.

Disclaimer: I did put something like $60 of my own money into khux over the course of its life cycle, but I made plans for that cash. Saw a jp vip and thought "ok, I'd spend money on that if it comes to global" and I did, but only on that. Saw a black Friday discount of more than 50%and said "ok, this is a reasonable bargain". My own upper limit was "no more than I would spend on one of their console games", and I stuck to it

True, but also need to reinforce that whaling when you don't have the means to will definitely hurt you (a thing that far too many people don't realize)

it's crazy how susceptibIe peopIe are to gambIing over just paying for things upfront

It’s manipulation and addiction. Human brain’s a tricky thing, and capitalists have had centuries to figure out how to exploit it.

mmhmm

Get people hooked on that dopamine kick just right, and they’ll keep coming back for whatever you’re selling

khux genuineIy got me on that for a whiIe
l'd do any quest at aII if it meant l couId get a few extra jeweIs to get the new medaI of the week l wanted

issue was that it was competitive
Iike, you had other peopIe to show your things, and party up and you'd be ranked and aII

aIso PvP was so busted
l'II give genshin that for now, it doesn't have any pIayer competition

doesn't stop the gambIing existing and being terribIe.

PvE games can still get you by introducing content that is just outside your reach and tell you to grind for hours on end or just spend a little money to get something that’ll help you get a little farther along.

yeah man

If given the option to spend money or time on a game, I'd rather spend time because I have to work for my money

And that's a good reason for why I'm a bad capitalist
