Why? The part of the post that matters is the part that I quoted. That's the same thing as "But that wasn't real socialism! It's perfect if nobody fucks it up!"

I'm assuming that you can't trade mtx in PoE but i've never tried (I just buy stash tabs). I'm also assuming you can't trade 99.9% of the mtx from rng boxes in other games that people who aren't you complain about. I don't have a problem with mtx becoming untradeable in any game, whether...

Someone choosing to spend money on something is equivalent to robbery now?

Do you think Shadow of War or this new Star Wars game are similar, equally unethical or even somewhat close scams to No Mans Sky? Good, sounds like we're on the same side then.

Do you want me to log in to LoL and PoE and screenshot the options to purchase randomized chests?

And i'm fine with that. CS:GO boxes probably being the type of thing you are talking about? I'm assuming Shadow of War mtx stuff wasn't tradeable, along with 99.9% of the other dlc stuff that people like utnayan/hekotat/palum/vaclav want the government to actually do something about. Has...

So you think the government should intervene and force companies to provide a product that meets your every desire because you want it to? Got any examples of a game that actually works like your Infinity War example? How about the fact that television has commercial breaks every 3 minutes...

I show how it is. Can'texplainthat.jpg

Mystery skins/hextech stuff is literally rng cash boxes just like the gambling in other games mtx. PoE has them too.

LoL has mystery skins, hextech chests, etc.

How about this: The MCU movies all tie together in one huge overarching world (game). The movies are split up into a bunch of different pieces that you have to buy individually (dlc). They have movies planned out well before the previous ones release (withholding parts of the game). Should...

No posters allowed in my halfway house :(

Yes or no, Vaclav: Gambling is ok for a free to play game like League of Legends but it's just evil scumbags robbing children and ruining their lives if it's a box game. If they are including it in their ads like car companies have to then what are they doing wrong (other than not making a...

So it's ok for them to implement gambling in their MTX because they need to make a living but it's not ok if they're charging for the base game too because then they're just robbing all the children of the world who have credit cards? I used fucking League of Legends as the example because they...

Define withheld content. How long does a company have to wait after releasing a product before they can start producing expansion style content for it without making them scumbags? Has any game ever said "hey buy me for $60 and get 4 acts of content" and then only contained 2 acts of content...

Ok. So you're fine with literal thousands of hours of grinding in LoL to unlock the champions but grinding in Shadow of War was worse than that to play act 4? How about the fact that LoL sells mystery champions and mystery skin packages? That's lootboxes thus gambling.

Yeah? Restaurants can't charge $3 for a drink to go with their meal and $9 for a dessert at the end? I must've missed those regulations ("shell of a meal" + dlc).

As I said before, if the only thing they stick to is regulating things like the shady stuff and I guess loot boxes if they can classify them as gambling, although I think the only thing they should do if they can get them classified as gambling is make it 18+ like any other gambling but I don't...

Did people make shitty games before DLC was ever even a flashing dollar sign tickling the back of some game company execs mind? Yes, they sure did. Will they continue to do it if DLC becomes completely illegal in any form? Yes, they sure will. Edit: Do you have a problem with League of...

That's not really the same as DLC for games. Diablo 3 didn't release claiming to have 4 acts and then pop up surprise $10 dlc at the end of every act before you could get to 2, 3 or 4. Starcraft didn't release claiming to have 3 playable races and then force you to pay surprise fees to...

So you're admitting that you're just butthurt that someone made a game you don't personally like and that's your only gripe? Thanks for clarifying what i've been saying 99% of the whiners are actually upset about.

What exactly are they "getting away with"? Making money by offering a product that people are clearly more than willing to buy since they're fucking raking in cash left and right? Oh, the humanity! Someone stop those assholes from running productive businesses!

And you think all the people in this thread who are "lol fuck EA!" are supporting government intervention because of the recent shit that just came out about "unknown to the player mechanics to entice them to spend more money" shenanigans and not because they hate the concept of MTX and think...

Let me pose some questions: What do you guys think is magically going to happen if the government starts regulating what game companies can and can't do with their games? Are they going to magically stop trying to make money through dlc shenanigans or expansions or anything else? Is every...

You say it's not good gameplay and not fun. That's true for you. There are plenty of people who do enjoy that kind of thing (and all the other cash shop shenanigans in games). You know what I do with games that I don't find fun? I choose not to buy them. I don't run around screaming that...

Good thing you aren't a kid between the age of 10-15 or you'd spend 4-6 figures to get it on your credit card, according to Vaclav.

It has like 5 different acronyms, idiot. Prepaid cards are not credit cards (which allow you to spend money you don't have), idiot. You're just trying to use "but the innocent children!" as an excuse to justify why you think the government should step in and force video game companies to...

Since when do stores save the cvc code when they offer to save information for easier checkout? Since when can a parent not uncheck the save info box? Link me some stories of kids under the age of 15 who are making themselves a bunch of money and being taken advantage of by MTX in games. Link...

Yeah he's talking about shitty parents who give their 12 year old kid a black card so they can get scammed out of 6 figures by the evil game companies taking advantage of their lack of impulse control (because they're 12). A parent giving their child a credit card/bank card to do whatever they...

So shitty parents give their 12 year old a credit card (lol i'm fucking almost 33 and don't have a credit card) and let them do whatever they want, and so we need the government to regulate video games? And i'm the meth addled retard? You know what happened when I was a kid and spent all my...

Where do kids age 10-15 get their money from, since it's illegal for them to work (at least in the US)?

Yeah! We need the government to step in and control things for us because we don't have the self control to decide how we want to spend our money and it's impossible to simply choose not to purchase a game if you don't like the product a company is offering! Governments need to start...

Yeah i'm not sure if it matters or not and it probably doesn't but I was really hoping I could get it to 100% just to get it there. I've been having a bit of fun messing around with it last couple days, trying to get used to it and then today putting a couple forma on it, still gotta put a...

Man spent all day farming for my mutalist quanta formas/mods in the hopes of getting it to 100% status with the riven I have but even if I get the last mod I need (rime rounds) it only goes to like 99.5%. Feelsbadman.

Hmm, I got level 32 just now and didn't get a capsule. The exp seems wonky, tho. Didn't pay attention to how much I got from the game but i'm like 30% to level 33 now and I didn't even think the game was going to be enough to get me to 32 in the first place.

I haven't gotten a level yet so maybe it's not that bad, i'll get one soon. I don't remember how much essence I got for my quest but i'm guessing it was somewhere around what the IP first win of the day was, 250ish. People on forums were saying you got like 2-4 champ shards so if you had bad...

Lol riot going pay 2 play with the new blue essence shit? Get 50 levels to get enough blue essence to buy a new champ or just pay cash money!

The spy ones are the hardest for me cause I suck at spy. Got machete riven from today's.

Welp nevermind on the riven mod, I rolled it a bit this evening but then I looked at how much mastery points I need to go from 12 to 16 and it's not gonna happen any time soon.

Ember makes the hemacytes super easy after I saw a tip online earlier saying to jump up to the heads and spam a few fire blasts. I got all 6 of the hunter mods now and the zaw parts, not sure if I want to farm it any more, although I might do some to get formas. Did my first sortie today and...
