If you play ANY mobile-style, free-to-PAY game, you are helping to destroy gaming. That includes any exceptions you think exist.

I'm mainly talking about these new "but they're different" games, that have gotten so fucking popular, lately.
"Honky Stair Rail" and "Genshin Implants" or whatever the fuck they're called.
I don't care if you can play them without spending any money. I don't care if they're any good. None of that matters. The whole model of the game being funded by whales, spending money on in-game items and currency IS LITERALLY EVIL.
There is no way to do it ethically. That is an impossibility, on a fundamental level. There is no excuse for anyone to give these so-called developers and publishers ANY amount of money, attention, or engagement.
The only acceptable way to pay for a game as a service is a traditional MMO subscription, where you pay a flat rate per month/year to access 100 percent of a game's available gameplay.
I don't care what your excuse is. I don't care that you like anime tits and ass. I don't care if you think your chosen free-to-pay game is different. It's not.
Stop supporting this shit. Support real games.
A couple of years ago, I would have considered this to be a popular opinion, but about 35-40 percent of the internet posts I see in 2024 are related to either "Honky Stair Rail" or "Genshin Implants," and it's starting to freak me the fuck out.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Я специально набрал свой ник кириллицей, на русском, чтобы другие сами выбирали, хотят ли они со мной взаимодействовать или нет, и знали мой бэкграунд перед тем как отвечать, это честно и справедливо. То, что ты разводишь по этому поводу, иррелевантно к обсуждаемой теме, и звучит по-детски. 'I would probably get banned...' - ну так не пиши, если боишься, откуда такая слабость? Зачем ты изображаешь жертву? Трусов никто не любит. А ты трус, и пытаешься надавить на это.
Мои любимые цвета это красный и чёрный, по диагонали, и за них я также полечу как за жовтоблакитный флаг, который мне тоже не противен, но поддерживать их - дело украинцев, не моё. Впргаться за них, думать за них - это, бля, с чего начался весь современный кипешь, они это должны делать сами. Им моя помощь не нужна, и весь цимес текущей бойни об их самостоятельности, что ты мог не заметить, ебясь в глаза.
Ты же показал себя глупцом. Не только притянул сюда иррелевантную тему, но и был дураком, делая это.
Would you print anything of substance or I can report you?
I think it's weird that you would report me for talking about my favorite colors.
Also, maybe your response loses something in the translation, but I don't see any substance. I see equivocation. You could declare your support for all free people to determine their own independence, but you fall back on the tired "oh, but all conflict is bad" angle.
Disappointing, even in the context of an internet argument.
Your response doesn't make any sense.
Maybe my translator made your response nonsensical to me. I tried a different one, and got better results.
At first, it sounded like you were saying I'm a fool for taking up other people's causes, and you don't really care about people's independence.
Maybe that's wrong. And the first translation made me miss the part about the red and black diagonal colors. I can respect that, if it's what I think it is. Not really my thing, but if that's really your thing (and not just an excuse for supporting random chaos) then I can understand it.
I probably shouldn't have been so stupid. The modern world makes me angry. Most of my family's blood comes from the part of the world we're talking about, and I think that makes me quick to anger, too. And it makes me sadder, for all this situation.
You are an AI. Case closed.
I kinda wish I was, my dude.
Why do you speak like one tho? What's your quirks for example, can you tell me?
My main quirk is typing before I think. I am beginning to suspect that learning to touch type might have been a mistake, for me. I say a lot of embarrassing shit that brings catharsis for a brief period, then makes me annoyed with myself.
Don't you have some fandoms you follow?
