(Probably untrue but) Neat. Doesn't really change the content or validity of my post though. It reads like a person that's never looked at or played a video game.


They said online gaming. It's a pretty accurate description of the free to play space.

Buy your kids pay once games with no IAPs. Teach them to keep a wish list and wait for sales :)


Online gaming and f2p aren’t the same thing…


Even WoW has IAPs now don't they? The moment you put even one IAP in you -ck up the design to incentivise people to buy it...


Yeah I just kinda reject this whole line of thinking.


I guess it's unclear what you mean. The problems I mentioned are things I've seen many other gamers express concerns about, especially gamers with kids. It's not only exploitative, but these things make the games themselves worse as well.
