I don't want to waste my time either, so I'm not gonna play it.

It seems like the kind of game you watch 20 minute YouTube video about and you know everything you need to know about it

My exact intentions

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 1 year ago

Just like pretty much every other live service game.

[–] Buddahriffic 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't even watched 20 minutes about it and already know about as much as I want to know about it.

I mean, what else are they gonna say? “We’re totally gonna waste your time AND milk you for as much of your money as possible!”

[–] nanoUFO 23 points 1 year ago

Just waste your money, an endless amount of it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Translation: they're SO gonna waste your time.

[–] DudeImMacGyver 17 points 1 year ago

They just want your money, not your time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nobody is going to buy this I don't get why they're pushing it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they now banking on a handful mega whales?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm getting the vibe that it's been developed with full knowledge that it's going to be a commercial flop, and they're just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they're just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

We want this game to be generous, both with your time and…

An efficient wallet siphon. It'll only want a few minutes a day! That's totally not habituation as a mechanic for addiction!

Did you also watch Tom's latest video? Only the first half or so is about vaping before it goes into bigger context. https://youtu.be/XuTQbOo3Y30?si=M2CqXlX6tiGmAkJ4

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Nah, I've been pissed about this for maybe five straight years. If any video was a tipping point it was surely Dan Olsen's Manufactured Discontent.

I believe the devs, unfortunately publishers call the shots

Don't worry devs, by not buying the game I know you won't waste my time. If I need a batman fix I'll visit Arkham city.

Yeah the part where they kill Batman was leaked online months a go and that's the only part of the game people are curious about.
