Whats “Free” when the point of said (APP) is locked behind pay-walls!? Modern day “gaming” sucks, paying for content that was once earned through gameplay is NOT Rewarding nor Gaming, it’s essentially Online Shopping. Fortnite is a Freemium Application which utilizes (In app purchase mechanics/ psychology) to lure in ‘Payer$’. Particularly the Youth which are more impressionable.
Why don’t you do some research on your beloved Applications:
The psychology of in-app purchase…
South Park: season 18 Episode 6 (Freemium isn’t Free)…
HOW microtransactions ruined gaming…
HOW Season Passes ruined gaming…
HOW Battle Passes ruined gaming…
HOW Live Services ruined gaming
Battle passes are replacing loot boxes, but they’re not necessarily a better deal:
Yeah as much as I dislike the business model of microtransactions in modern games, and fortnite is the most popular and blatant example, they’re also pretty much the gold standard in how it should be done.
I’m pretty emotionally ambivalent towards it. I both dislike and respect it at the same time.
This CRASH is NOT a “Game”… It’s (Shopping). And the reasons why our beloved hobby is riddled with GREED.
