The designs are whatever to me. I can play theft game too when it comes to Pokemon.
 
That's not a leg no Pokemon fan can stand on as far as I'm concerned. This is hugely where my Po comparison comes from.

So Ubisoft wants gamers to get used to "not owning games"? 
 

Only Kraptaku would report that water is wet.

Whelp. Never finishing FFXV. My asshole cat unplugged my PS5 as it was saving and corrupted my data. 50hrs down the drain.

twin galaxies stays winning. All they did was put his scores in the way back machine section of their site with all the other cheaters who associate with him. 😂

There is a video floating around showing how fast FFVIIR 2's fast travel is and it gives a glimpse at how big the map is.  Apparently there are a few people upset that the game is open world and I just can't at the moment.
 

It's easy enough to say "don't buy them" but these companies are using psychological techniques to sell them. It's actually manipulative in a way that saying "don't buy them" almost misses the point.

I both agree and disagree. Yes, it is on the fans to stop buying. But we can't discount just how much devs (on behalf of publishers) fuck with the game in order to push people toward the micros. Or they fuck with the game to help everybody who might buy them vs the rest. Most pubs can't do lootboxes anymore, but they can taint matchmaking every way to put you up against people with the new shit, make things a grind unless you buy micros, or similar devious tactics.
 
You see no better example of this than in Call of Duty nowadays. The biggest thing people complain about is Skill Based Matchmaking being cranked into overdrive. But the primary reason they cranked it is to protect the new players so that said new players might buy micros. When the community has really had enough, they'll just switch to some other tactic.
 
So, yes. People should stop buying micros. But these pubs are trying everything possible to push people toward them, so even that simple solution isn't that simple.
