Dude get a life To you, him spending that on the game means he ain't got a life? 🙄 The game may have meant more to him than we all think of. 17 hours ago, Aniekwe said: Edited June 14, 2022 by Aniekwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made deep researches and got what it is, and through the opinion of one of us here. If the mod @Shagger can edit that part which stated as 'pay to win game'. And change it to free to play game. You earn those V-bucks as an achievement playing and progressing in the game. @Shagger dont edit the post, leave like that, so it will be a reminder that @Justin11 doesnt care about what his posting as long as he makes a post or comment. And same goes for other users who are still doing the same despite this being the main issue on the forum. Im sick and tired of all this crap 32 minutes ago, Heatman said: I don't know how you guys look at it, but as far as I'm concerned with respect to the kind of games I love to play, spending $800 in 4 years on a game isn't a lot. Its because of people like you that the gaming industry is at its worst when it comes to monetization , thats why publishers are still putting out microtransactions, because there is always someone like you who is more than wiling to throw his money away on a free to play game. Dude think about it ,800 dollars with in 4 years, thats basically 200dlls a year for cosmetics???? WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aniekwe Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Why everyone and everywhere is boiling hot over how another decides to spend his money is something I can't understand. It's his damn money and no matter when microtransactions developers dump on games, it's your decision to buy into them or not. Whoever does, it's his or her business.

The most played game is freemium. I couldn't care less if you like it or not. The concept of "freemium" is a free-to-play, but very insidious and predatorially monetised game. I call it "freemium crap" because "feemuim" is "crap". Hence, it's "freemium crap". Deal with it. Aniekwe and killamch89 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my reacting with 😂 on this because you sounded so funny and at the same time pissed at free to play games. To you, there's no freemium games out there that's worth playing?

To you, there's no freemium games out there that's worth playing? Like I said, I define freemium as some very insidious and predatorially monetised, so the short answer is no. However, that doesn't men I haven't found some decent free-to-play games. Neverwinter, Eternium, S.W.T.O.R, War Thunder, Warframe, Genshin Impact (I admit that one does have some really dodgy monetisation, but there's far worse) and Rocket League to mane a few. And not just to get this thread back on topic, I'd also give a shout out to Fortnite. I'd never play it, it's not my sort of thing, but It does seen to manage it's free-to-play model better than other games do. Aniekwe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into War Thunder and Genshin Impact to see if they are something I would like to give a try. I have only played Rocket League and of course Fortnite from the one's you mentioned.

I agree wholeheartedly - Freemium is absolute crap and has always been. That being said, I haven't spent any money on Fortnite and I used to grind in order to get enough to afford the passes. There's no way I'm wasting a penny on Fortnite. Aniekwe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for the most recent chapter 3 season 3: Vibin' you have to buy the Fortnite X Marvel : zero war comic to get access to the Spider-Man zero outfit which is unlocked with the digital code embedded in the limited edition comic book. And a lot of people are buying the comic not because of a skin but they are genuine lover's of good comic books and want to experience reading this one. It's practically a thing of choice if you think spending a few bucks on the things your love or enjoy doing is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point now. Fortnite is good for you to have at least played enough to always afford the passes for the game but never that important for you to spend money on it no matter how small.
