The living victims of the holocaust dont agree with you.
Harassed off the platform
The living victims of the holocaust dont agree with you.
This is a really weird way to try and deflect thinking paint matters more than human lives.
You think maybe this is why no one wants to discuss this with you, and keeps telling you to go sit with whatever the fuck youve got in your head that makes you think paint matters more than people?
Thats a damning statement on yourself
I dont know how to explain to you that human lives matter more than scraps of painted cloth. It seems this is a lesson people frequently dont know how to explain to you.
If a trade between a human life and some dumbass paintings has you calling the paint stained cloth as the hostages, you need to go sit alone in a dark room for a while and do some deep introspection on exactly what the fuck is wrong with you dude
Why are money and culture more important than life?
Im pretty sure the majority of lives are worth more than some toxic pastes smeared on a thin scrap of textile leavings.
Your second option is 2 options. You dont need to default, just never finish paying it off.
Tbf if an EV is burning you probably need an electric fire extinguisher, instead of the normal type thats for more common fire fuels.

Is that a comparison that will get you sales?
I definitely dont. Ive shared a fuckload of stories without ever consulting the copyright holder.
You dont need to sell stories to share them.
Path of Exile.
Its 100% free, so you can play it like a demo until you are either fully in or bored.
It gets a season refresh every 3ish months with an entirely new mechanic, so most experienced players restart it 4 times a year, play a new build, and then stop playing when bored and return at the new season so its always got reasons to peek back in and see if you want to rejoin.
The leveling system is a little daunting at first, but the base game is completely playable newbie blind even if you pick “suboptimally” from the skill tree. If youre too worried about FoMo, there are tons of guides online for builds, both top level and newbie friendly.
The attack/skill system is very interesting and completely moddable, tons of replayablility.
If you like diablo, try PoE.
Thats fair, I probs shouldnt have used “paid for” in the metaphorical sense in a discussion about actually buying things lol
Incorrect. 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
Compared 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
Examples? 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?
You pirated diablo 4? Gotta say, thats impressive to do for a server game.
And poe has much cheaper, frequently on sale, qol purchases.
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.
The smell people associate with a chlorine pool is actually the smell of the compound created by the chemical reaction of pool shock cleaner and human piss.
If it smells like classic pool? Its probably piss.
Who cares? Israel has about as much standing to speak for jews as my local pastor has for speaking as the pope.
