@Yoshilapin the problem is that these games rely on psychological manipulation to make money. It doesn't sit well with most people. There's a reason lootboxes are classified as gambling and therefore banned in a number of countries. It's developing addictive behaviours especially in young people, it's just bad practice all around and defending it is kinda sickening.
@Dethmunk It's perfectly fine to have misgivings about business models, feeling differently than you do personally does not make people idiotic and mindless.
I'm pretty disgusted with this. Weekly challenges, daily quests? That smells like microtransaction groundwork. Season passes are a bad practice as well, nobody should pay upfront for content that hasn't been reviewed yet.
100$ for the full game, I will definitely wait for a price drop, hope it tanks like Starlink. Ubisoft is getting worse and it's sad.
Devs flat out lie to potential buyers, manipulate their fanbase in various ways. They're sketchy people that I wouldn't support even if the game wasn't as bad as it is.
Code in box? No thanks then. I'll wait until the limited offer ends, to see how they'll offer this game as well as Mario 3D all stars. Boycott fomo and anti consumer practices
@Yanina I mean, you can only use the coins you've earned in the current run. I don't see how you can be this ignorant of the topic at hand and still believe others who know what they're talking about are idiots. Goddamn tool.
Edit: Ah they removed their comment, said I was dumb for not having played the game.

Re: Review: Monster Sanctuary - A Pokémon / Metroidvania Mashup For Number Lovers
What's with the pseudo-moralistic undertone of this review? Maybe someone who likes this style of game should have reviewed it.

@Darkyoshi98 The ranking resets every 24h and only shows who plays the most. So yeah can't say that I care.
Re: It Looks Like Hackers Are Already Cheating In Super Mario Bros. 35
Can't say that I care, coins aren't important and doesn't give anyone an advantage. You make more coins than you could ever need playing regularly.
