I’m mainly talking about these new “but they’re different” games, that have gotten so fucking popular, lately.
“Honky Stair Rail” and “Genshin Implants” or whatever the fuck they’re called.
I don’t care if you can play them without spending any money. I don’t care if they’re any good. None of that matters. The whole model of the game being funded by whales, spending money on in-game items and currency IS LITERALLY EVIL.
There is no way to do it ethically. That is an impossibility, on a fundamental level. There is no excuse for anyone to give these so-called developers and publishers ANY amount of money, attention, or engagement.
The only acceptable way to pay for a game as a service is a traditional MMO subscription, where you pay a flat rate per month/year to access 100 percent of a game’s available gameplay.
I don’t care what your excuse is. I don’t care that you like anime tits and ass. I don’t care if you think your chosen free-to-pay game is different. It’s not.
Stop supporting this shit. Support real games.
A couple of years ago, I would have considered this to be a popular opinion, but about 35-40 percent of the internet posts I see in 2024 are related to either “Honky Stair Rail” or “Genshin Implants,” and it’s starting to freak me the fuck out.
Nope. When you’re the correct one, you don’t have to say shit. That’s part of the privilege of being correct.
If this somehow bothers you, I would suggest that you stop being wrong.
There is a lot I could say about this, but I am afraid that you have tested positive for terminal stupidity. I’m afraid there is no cure.
My condolences.
The good news, your lack of awareness protects you from experiencing your condition, so go and live your life to the fullest. Express your views on forums and in rooms full of people avoiding eye contact and looking for chances to walk away. They all love you. You are the smartest.
So, how would I know you’re ‘being correct’?
Try going to any college class room and tell any professor “when you’re the correct one, you don’t have to say shit. That’s part of the privilege of being correct.” I’m not sure that will end well for you.
I do agree with you basic premise that there is a problem in the gaming industry though.
