The Pokemon Company shills its new method of delivering loot box gambling to children and fans dogpile it because something something disrespecting fans something in the editing? I think the whole silly boiling lot of them can get in the sea.
The House of Lords is surprisingly on to it. Sadly the current elected government of the UK is less enlightened, and fairly unlikely to act on this recommendation, judging by past form.
I wouldn't like to draw any conclusions from this about the efficacy of democracy in the UK so I won't.
I'm so sick of the whole idea of free-to-start games. Can't we just buy games for a reasonable price and then enjoy them? If they want to get us to dip a toe in with no outlay — that's what demos are for surely?
Games are no fun when they're constantly annoying you with artificial frustrations, then nagging you to pay them to temporarily relieve said frustrations. There are so many reasonably-priced pay-once-play-forever games that I'm surprised anyone bothers wasting their time and sanity on dreck like this.
@Smashfan508 It's okay not to make games look like AAA games. Yes "retro" is a bandwagon that games hop onto in order to have a manageable budget. And yes that's fine, because I'd rather they did that than be uninspired money-nagging endless franchises like so much of the AAA market has become.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Trainers Reach Special Zeraora Max Raid Battle Goal
Did we ever find out whether a trainer defeating multiple Zeraoras counted as multiple points toward the million?
Re: Pokémon Café Mix Is Now Available For Free On The Switch eShop
A cute, irritating experience that constantly nags for money? Sounds like installing a six-year-old on my phone. I'll pass thanks.
Re: EA Intends To "Double Down" On Star Wars Video Game Development
Arts, electronic or not, surely require a modicum of originality?
Re: Random: So Much For Level Scaling In Pokémon's Isle Of Armor DLC
Level scaling seemed perfect to me; but I went to Armor with a bunch of 'mons that I'd just picked up in the Wild Area.

Re: Fantasy-Action Battle Royale RPG Spellbreak Announced For Switch
RPG? You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
