I’ve never played deep rock galactic. It very well could be the exception that proves the rule.

Feeling punished for not playing, and feeling like a company is trying to manipulate me with psychological tricks to make me play their game is why I don’t play games with battlepasses.

I didn’t mind Diablo iii’s seasons journey at all, and that had rewards that were missable. But Diablo iv has like 90 levels, it costs money and you have to do stupid shit like kill world bosses 15 times with them being on a timer.

I’m not going to set a fucking alarm to log into a video game. I play games on my schedule, not the developers.

It sounds like deep rock has a much more sane system. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

I hate battlepasses

Nothing demotivates me more than a game with a battlepass. Really disappointed, I played and somewhat enjoyed the campaign, then totally lost interest at around level 20 in the first season.

Haven’t picked up the game in a long time, and it’s all because having a battlepass just kills the game for me.

It turns the game into completing the battlepass instead of just playing the game as I normally would. Ignoring the battlepass doesn’t work for me, because I know it’s there.

It triggers FOMO, but instead of making me want to play to not miss out, it makes me not want to play at all because I know completing battlepasses for me is highly unlikely

If you’re buying this (or anything other than Nintendo exclusive games) for your switch, it’s because you don’t have any other options and likely only own a switch

If you had a PC or a PS5, you’d buy it on that.

So switch only owners would pay whatever for it, but the rest of us wouldnt

I dunno, I doubt he’s an idiot. But this game is all rigged anyway

Of course

If it’s scheduled, which I know a lot of execs need to do anyways to trade stock, and it’s not just randomized and he knows when those sales happen, and he knows his decision is going to tank the price, he can manipulate what he announces and when it’s announced.

What’s stopping him from just announcing this, selling the stock in a timer, then waiting just before he’s scheduled to buy stock and announce that he’s changed his mind?

If I’m the guy who bought that stock from him I’d want to sue. He fucked some sucker over

Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing? I think that’s significant fraud and he should go to prison
