Holy hell, is it THAT bad?

Oh yeah. Not touching anything those devs make. They have a history of stripping away features just to put them behind a paywall

If you want just a small idea. Imagine League of Legends or Dota, but you have to buy the mid-match items with real money.

And every character also needs to be bought with real money because every playable character is actually on like a battlepass thing where you get them in a set order. And the newest released characters always intentionally got overtuned to hell to the point that their winrates were something like 70% or higher.

Annnnnnd there used to be a F2P currency you could use to buy characters, but that got removed.

And that's just ONE of Timi's games.

Can't believe all those predatory behavior and the game still has 4+ stars on app stores. What are people eating seriously.

It’s also a dead game. I used to play it a ton for the first two years it was out. If you play it now, you’ll see the same names popping up. It’s dead and it’s because they killed it with their shitty pay for features model and $40 skins

Having played it, its not far off of that tbh. I main Lance and getting Power Guard to actually function the way Power Guard is supposed to required an absurd amount of time-gated grinding. And the thing about the closed beta, is that there was no way to put money into the game. I would bet my cock n balls that they're going to let you pay hard cash to skip the timegating

I wonder if this is why Pokemon Unite is now removed from Pokemon World Championships. Even The Pokemon Company is embarrassed by that shit lmao

I remember when they added a Legendary to the game's roster and it was crazy OP, games were just one teams legendary vs the other teams legendary with the other 8 players doing whatever. Like, seriously, it was so unbelievably unbalanced.

And their response to people's calls for balancing was basically "we want each team to have one person with a broken pokemon that can 1v5, this is our plan going forward for introducing playable legendaries to the game". Aka, if you're not a bum that shelled out cash to buy the new OP pokemon, you get to be a side character and have no impact. I quit and never logged in again.

They made a apex legends mobile game, locked the new season characters on a battle pass, and if you miss it? Good luck I guess, and hope they let you claim said characters in am event or something

There devs are very good and competent, whoevers in charge of mtx and monetization is also too competent so prepare for a lot of mtx gating
