[PCGamer] Helldivers 2 is the least I've felt pressured to spend money on a game in years, so of course I'm buying everything in the store

  • I appreciate the consideration and at the end of the day I really agree with you and it sucks to see the state of the industry as a whole right now and really hope we can get back to being respected as consumers some day.

  • I'm actually not making any of those arguments and disagree with all of them myself. My issue with mtx is generally that they prey on people with psychological tactics that are proven to work on a lot of (generally vulnerable and younger) people. Helldivers does none of that, it's not "least pressured to buy stuff", you're not pressured at all.

    And I know I'm being a little sensitive here but it really sucks to lose someone from cancer and see someone comparing it to a shop in a video game of all things.

  • I agree if those things leverage fomo to get people to pay. In helldivers you can earn that currency just playing the game so if you have less time to play you have the option of purchasing the currency and their versions of battle passes are always available to buy and work on at your leisure.

    • Miami Imam Openly Plans for "Peaceful" Islamic Takeover of America

  • Lmao, talk about being asleep, literal Nazis marching in the street and Trump saying this to Christians, "If I get in, you're going to be using that power at a level that you’ve never used before." But let's all worry about some random imam in Miami. You're a racist joke of a person.

    • [Reddit] Tekken 8 is adding a MTX Tekken Shop weeks after release to dodge lower review scores. The ESRB rating is updated post release to accommodate in-game purchases.

  • Damn dude, good on you for the self reflection and adding to the discussion. In my opinion, helldivers 2 is a good example of monetization done right in so many ways. $40 price tag, "battle passes" are always available and don't prey on fomo, and you can find the premium currency just playing the game.

  • It's an order of magnitude more dangerous to get in your vehicle and drive somewhere than it is to be a cop. Is this how you'd defend someone who committed vehicular manslaughter due to negligence?
