| ZombiePelican 09/08/17 8:42:21 AM #29 | Things have literally only gotten worse from there. In government PR statements they can sugar coat it all they like with their fluffed up statistics, but prices of shit keeps rising and jobs are just as scarce, and more and more businesses close up shop every year. I don't understand HOW, anyone can assume shit has gotten better since then. You'd have to be sheltered as fuck to think otherwise --- |

| Topic | It says alot that so many people at Polygon are shit at playing videogames |
| ZombiePelican 09/07/17 5:13:57 PM #7 | Tmaster148 posted... People paid to review games are often not the same kind of people who play video games. These days yeah, it wasn't always this way but now it is. Most big name gaming "journalists" are bottom the barrel and got these positions out of passion for videogames they got them because their hipster friends just handed them these positions to spread their propaganda Tmaster148 posted... Since at the end of the day game reviewers are looking for people journalism experience and not necessarily people with video game playing experience. That doesn't make any sense, if I'm reading a review about a game from a person whose literal only job is reviewing videogames they had at least be at bare minimum be decent at them otherwise I won't take their reviews seriously --- |

| ZombiePelican 09/07/17 4:21:44 PM #114 | Asherlee10 posted... Why would grinding processes, which already existed, suddenly have a new creation source (microtransactions)? You literally just answered your own question. Microtransactions, publishers now make shit extra grindy in the hopes your get tired of doing the same shit over and over and stump up the cash for their microtransactions. Asherlee10 posted... That premises doesn't lead to a logical conclusio Again, yes it does. Where's the logic in making your game's progression system fair and balanced if you want people to buy your microtransactions endlessly? Hint: There isn't any you make the experience as painfully grindy as possible so they stump up as much money for microtransactions as humanly possible Asherlee10 posted... And you need to knock off your condescending attitude. It serves no purpose in discussion and only degrades the integrity of your responses. This coming from the person who continually makes disingenuous and hilariously ignorant statements like comparing grindy online experiences designed to goad you into spending real money to Skyrim being long --- |

| ZombiePelican 09/07/17 2:19:14 PM #109 | Asherlee10 posted... ZombiePelican posted...I can't be anymore clear and yet you're STILL denying what I said. Why? Yes, it actually does. Publishers want you to buy their microtransactions, do you really think they're going to fairly balance the progression systems to where you almost never need to buy any of their microtransactions in their games? If you do you're even more sheltered and naive than I initially imagined. The answer though is no, they could but then they wouldn't have an endless funnel of cash to their bank accounts like they want, so they make things extra grindy and harder to achieve so you're more likely to buy their microtransactions. Understand now, or do I need to break it down further? --- |

I never claimed grinding was invented to push microtransactions. Yes, portions of games with microtransactions are designed to be grindy on purpose. To test your wallet vs your patience, the fact you're giving ACTIVISION of all publishers the benefit of the doubt is pretty sad, you act like they don't want you to buy the microtransactions or something, when no publishers ever forced devs to put microtransactions in a game for you to NOT buy them --- |

Major hurricanes f***ing suck to go through especially the aftermath. It damages you mentally and you're never the same afterwards and I have friends in Southeast Texas where I used to live who during Harvey went through similar s*** I went through with Katrina and it really hits home seeing all the s*** they have to deal with in the aftermath. What kills me is all the people who after I fled to Texas after my home getting f***ed up by the flood who gave me support, gave me food, blankets, a place to rest my head after I had literally lost almost everything and only had the clothes on my back to my name are now suffering the same way I did and I just wish I could give them the same level of support they gave me in my time of need when I physically and financially just cannot right now --- |

| ZombiePelican 09/06/17 3:20:42 PM #90 | Tmaster148 posted... Private corporation don't have to do things that help the consumers and they won't as long as it doesn't hurt their profits. Sorry but no, you have it backwards. Consumers must always come first otherwise you have nobody to buy your shit. Tmaster148 posted... Microtransaction increases their profits and as far as consumer impact goes it's looks like this practice is here to stay as they are making more profits from it then the few people still butthurt over microtransactions. Profit is justification for nothing. And as I've already said multiple times they're are more people who dislike them as those that do like them but it's a handful of whales as publishers dehumanizingly refer to that keep them in. Why do you think publishers will hide microtransactions in review copies of certain games or sneak them into updates latet on down the line? Tmaster148 posted... Maybe one day you'll actually understand how corporations operate. But until then there is no reason for this conversation to continue as you are showing to be ignorant to how business operate No I understand this all too well, it's you who fails to understand that I as a consumer am not obligated to ensure their shareholders make their money back on the contrary they are obligated to ensure their products and services are up to the standards of consumers and in the last decade or so AAA publishers have failed in that regard and have intentionally done it all on top of all that. --- |

If you can't stand that you live in a country where profits come first for private companies maybe you should move somewhere else that doesn't. But good luck with that. Also let's quit pretending microtransactions are the only way to make a profit in the AAA industry or that AAA Publishers weren't making a profit before microtransactions were thing in full price games, it only makes you look like a sniveling corporate thrall. --- |

| ZombiePelican 09/06/17 2:57:10 PM #85 | Tmaster148 posted... You are an idiot. Says the guy defending multibillion dollar corporations crying poor Tmaster148 posted... . Private corporation exist for profit. If you want game companies that aren't profit motivated maybe you should go find a game company ran by the government. Again you missed the point. A company existing to make a profit does not entitle them to it nor does it justify their contemptuous actions towards their audience. They are not allowed to pull whatever anticosumerist stunt they feel like pulling without question and having just the blind and ignorant thought process of " they made a profit so it's ok consumers are getting shit on" is pathetic --- |

I've never once not been open about posting my pics here. There's a good few that have been going around CE for years Tmaster148 posted... I don't grobble greedy old men in suits. Yes you do. You've been playing devil's advocate for the sake of multibillion dollar corporations who as I have already said multiple times in this topic already flat out do not deserve it. Tmaster148 posted... I don't irrationally hate corporations for engaging behaviors that make them more profits. I'm sorry but they do not have right to a profit especially coming from multibillion dollar corporations crying poor pretending they could go bankrupt at any second when that vouldn't be further from the truth and nothing justifies their contemptuous and anticosumerist bullshit being pushed on us. I don't understand how you can think so backwards about this shit. We as consumers are not and never will be obligated to ensure to these greedy executives can keep their cushy lifestyle at our expense. As consumers companies are supposed to serve US not the other way around Tmaster148 posted... Because that's what private corporations do. Not every corporation tries to fuck over consumers however they can with glee Tmaster148 posted... You care too much about something you can't do anything about. Yeah just like when we I was told on disc DLC or online passes would never go anywhere when I complained about them then and it was also internet outrage that initially killed Bethesda's paid mod scheme.
