Critical mistake thinking paywall is pay to win. There is a difference, one is locked, the other can open their wallets but don't have to, but can. Any type of advantage that can be bought with money IS pay to win. The key word is advantage and can be applied to any view point, like 'skipping' and 'easier'. A person that pays will always be ahead of a person that doesn't, hence paying to win.

I mean, if you are trying to argue against this means you probably wouldn't mind buying premium bullets in a video game, like a CEO, John Riccitiello, suggested. Premium bullets would be very convenient and make killing players easier! You wouldn't need to grind levels as long with those boosts!

Rule of thumb is to ask: would paying allow me to finish the game faster? Yes means pay to win.

Warframe is the most p2w game I have ever played, and I don't understand how people can say otherwise. Imagine you could buy the best pve gear in a mmo like WoW instead of grinding out raids. Warframe is this and then some. Resources? You can buy that. Skip crafting times? Yes. Buy boosters to shorten leveling and item acquisition? Definitely multiple versions. And the game still creates problems and sells the solution, the classic monetization of inventory space.

The game is very good, has an amazing story, and the movement system is the best, but it's extreme p2w if you want it to be. At its core, It is a very grindy looter shooter which is severely monetized.

Some thing needs to keep the court in check and remove the bad apples.

Trying to reinvent the wheel, typical apple.

Now do Trump. Put him in jail.

Too many articles focusing on replacing Biden when they should be focusing on Trump being a federal convict walking around free.

The DnD aspect made the combat worse than Divinity's Original Sin's combat. DnD is probably fine on table top setting, but as a video game, it's terrible. Auto/normal attacking was the strongest build in BG3...

My first thought was some corpos are saying this, campaigning against Firefox.

I play it a little from time to time and it's gets boring quick. Doing the same meta events uncountable amount of times isn't exciting. Also the lack of RPG progression has drawbacks, but great for casuals. The power creep is just buffing classes, some can generate all the boons in the game. Adding new maps every expansion/update spreads out the player base, an old mmo problem, making the game look more dead than in the past.

Even on windows 10, Onedrive uploaded random crap you don't want and then yells at you that the space is full and buy a subscription. It has to be the worst cloud service of them all because of the bullshit integration. It was easier to disable and remove it than to work with it.

Most, if not all game reddits, product reddits, and company reddits are secretly or openly controlled by their respective corpos. Keeping communities as third party forums is a must have IMO.

The great attractor. It's the biggest object we known of, but actually know almost nothing about. and it's in a spot that's hard to see through, our galaxy's center. Almost everything we see in the sky is heading towards that point, hence the name.
