| Topic | New Jim Sterling vid on microtransactions, whales, and predatory practices. |

He then acts smug and says that this is a bad business model, and that it will all collapse on itself in a big big way soon. Yet, he often complains about how microtransactions work as a sort of "free money" system, where it costs the developers/publishers nothing. So...even if it does collapse, who gets hurt? Sure, they don't make as much money, but they're not going to lose money. And if it's Whales that are supporting this system, why will it ever collapse anyways? And if it is truly the whales who are the only people paying for microtransactions...who the fuck are these videos for? --- America is a tune. It must be sung together. --50 Blessings https://i.imgur.com/cKxoAhi.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
