Topic	Mobile Gaming isn't Real Gaming.
ParanoidObsessive 11/06/18 2:04:05 AM #49:	Joker_X_II posted... Get off your high horse and tell me how much per month you waste on MTXs, and then we can talk about who's a "real gamer".... Absolutely none - the closest I've ever come to playing a mobile game was when I played Nibbles/Snake on my flip-phone 20 years ago. On console I strongly dislike the concept of microtransactions in general and I loathe loot box mechanics, so I generally don't buy games that have them (which is no big loss, because those also tend to be the games with the most grind and the least narrative, which is what I tend to play games for). I'm barely even willing to buy DLC as a whole - the most I've ever technically paid for microtransactions at all is maybe $5 years ago for skins in Borderlands 2 in 2015. But please, by all means, keep throwing darts in the dark until you manage to hit an ad hominem that actually works. Joker_X_II posted... The one who's ahead of the curve and doesn't allow themselves to be taken by predatory MTX practices while glued to their phone....for starters. But that in itself is a subjective stance, which invalidates any value it has to determine an objective standard. Joker_X_II posted... You sound angry.....so I must be 97% correct. No, I always sound angry. I'm the resident surly curmudgeon. Most of my posts in this thread so far have actually been tinged with disdainful amusement. Joker_X_II posted... Now you're just being petty because you didn't give an definitions to begin with. It's not my topic, and I'm not the one trying to make the assertion that 60% of the people who play games aren't "real" gamers. Though if you want to know which particular metric you're failing at, it's this one - "Real gamers don't make topics complaining about other people not being real gamers, because real gamers are too busy, you know, playing games to care." There's tons of games out there you've never played. Why not go play one now? You'd probably be a lot happier than you are when all you're really doing is seething and ranting to total strangers about how much of an affront it is that 700 million people might consider themselves gamers but play games you don't personally approve of. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:911898000] in Mobile Gam...
