But Im not exactly sleeping with both eyes closed, so to speak.

wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English3·1 year agoThats fair, I probs shouldnt have used “paid for” in the metaphorical sense in a discussion about actually buying things lol
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English3·1 year agoIncorrect. The second payment is the loss of content they dont get because they dont buy.
The guy has already repeatedly stated he doesnt buy microtransactions. The second payment is not the mtx he doesnt buy, its the lost content that the $60 game doesnt give him
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English41·1 year agoCompared to previous diablos and other current arpgs, with normal expansion and base game content. Or are you saying you havent seen the constant content complaints about this game since its launch?
You have to be joking. You are genuinely surprised that clash of clans, the microtransaction king of store over content isnt a good example? The game series that is the punchline of in game purchases? Maybe try games not known for being the biggest cause of this problem
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English41·1 year agoExamples? How about the game the thread is about? And how dead and devoid its updates have been, with a robust and full shop?
Was the game everyone is talking about for doing this not enough? What about every game that opens a beta, with a fully fleshed out shop but lacking actual finished polished features? Halos recent flops for example?
Do you grasp how poorly your argument looks when youre having to bring up iphone games as your shining example? Games whose active design from menu, to level creation, to difficulty curves, are all built to try and push you towards that shop? Games whose gameplay is directly altered because of the push towards the shop?

Do I need a $2 currency storage tab? No. Will it make the game mildly smoother, and functionally be the “price” of the game for me if thats all I ever buy? Yup.
Do I get to play as much game as possible before I decide to “buy” the game and get my currency tab? Absolutely.
Cheap qol purchases for a f2p game makes the outrageous cosmetics far more acceptable.

If it smells like classic pool? Its probably piss.
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English3·1 year agoYes.
And youre currently swimming in a urine filled game, because 1/4 of dev time, money, and company resources are spent on actual game content while the other 3/4 go towards the next round of store items.
The pool is lower quality because of the piss. You can still swim just fine. So shut up and swim. Right?
The game is lower quality because of the focus on microtransactions. You can still play just fine. So shut up and play. Right?
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English81·1 year agoYou paid the bills by purchasing the game.
Diablo isnt a f2p, you paid up front.
Youre paying a second time for less game than cheaper games give you.
This isnt poe.
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor: "You can get Palworld for this price"English141·1 year agoThey dont bother making full new expansions. They make half an expansion, and spend twice the time and money making in-game store items.
Youre paying full price for less game and some pretty store windows to walk past.
And with every expansion, less game and more store is made. At least the whales get more content, youre getting even less than that.
wildginger@lemmy.myserv.oneto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•"Not reaching my potential" Fuck that lineEnglish6·1 year agoIts also crucial, when trying to teach these methods to a child, that you frame them as multiple options that can and will fail to help, and that the failure is of the method not the child.
These techniques are akin to shoes. You go to the store to try on a bunch of different styles to see what fits, whats comfy, what looks good, and what you ultimately want to wear outdoors. You dont fail to fit a pair of shoes. They just arent your size.
Trying a bunch of coping mechanisms and skills that dont work will feel like failure if framed incorrectly, and make it harder to try the next one. Kids dont always know how to change their frame of mind around these things, so its key to help make sure they dont think of it as another test to pass or fail.
How did they handle vic? I thought everyone dropped him like fresh cow shit

Look at how broad that legalese is. Ask yourself if auto application would make them more money. Now count what 2 + 2 is on your fingers.
