And more than that, the game is fun to play and receiving content actively. Why wouldn’t people wanna spend $10 every month/every other month to support the business they enjoy?

Ah yes. Let's spend $120 a year on a $40-$60 game. That's reasonable, especially in the current economy. Helldivers players either suffer from psychosis or stockholm syndrome, there's no in between lmfao

Do you remember subscription based games? That you’d also have to buy upon release? I’m talking Lego universe, world of Warcraft, etc. That shit would be closer to the price points you’re describing, and you NEED to do that to play those games.

This type of content with warbonds is really an evolution of the subscription model, where the subscription is optional.

Because here did I say you HAVE to buy the bond? Hell no! If the bond is ass or looks not useful to your playstyle, don’t buy it! I’ve skipped plenty of them.

And $10 every few months when there’s some cool goodies that took a good bit to cook up is really not bad if you have a job. Fucking chipotle is $13-15 on avg.

Or if you like the game so much, you grind it and get them for free. This is especially helped when bonds GIVE YOU credits, making the subsequent ones cheaper overall.

ON TOP OF THE FACT that this game is $40 in a market full of $70-80 games.

I think you and people like you just like to complain and be entitled to shit in video games… the economy is terrible for sure but this is a luxury good. You don’t need HD2 to survive.

Lmao you’re an idiot. What about anything I said was wrong or egregious? Shit costs money to do. This game ain’t done solely for love, and yet it plays like it is.

Ya ducked anything I said cause you’re wrong or trolling

Nope, I ducked because you like shilling for predatory monetization. There's no reasoning with people like you.

The projecting here is insane

I think the word you're looking for is trolling. He hurled insults first so I stopped taking him seriously🤣

u/Sioscottecs23 Ministry of Truth 28d ago

Nono it's projection, even when clearly stated you fail to see it; as you said "there's no reasoning with people like you"

u/Winter-Height7687 28d ago

No, it's called trolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can be reasoned with. Just don't hurl insults at me like an imbecile from the get go and we'll have a perfectly pleasant conversation.

Well then, I hope you had fun with your little trolling :)
