Freeimum isn’t free.

Most realistic episode ever, they captured the essence of how modern gaming is now so perfectly its amazing that it was made 10 yrs ago when mobile gaming was still in its infancy. Now you can’t find a game that’s not based on micropays. They definitely peeped the future lol

    Haha yeah, they totally called it. Gaming’s all about the microtransactions these days.

    “Well, who’s not filling a fuckin’ hole? Right? I mean, what kind of bullshit is that? … No, see, if something’s addictive because it’s fun, that’s one thing. But this is just blatant Skinner box manipulation!”

    I remember when smartphones first started getting big, as a gamer, I was excited to have yet another platform on which to play.

    Ahahahahahahahaha

    Obviously, it’s infected a lot of console/PC gaming too, but there are a decent amount of games there where you can pay once and get a complete gaming experience. Mobile is just a hellscape.

    I love the world of FF7 so much, and I gave the new mobile game a try (Ever Crisis), and it just pissed me off so much. It’s just not fun at all.

    I think loot boxes and stuff were throughly dug in by that point. Still a great episode.
