"Why do I play them? Because I find it interesting to see how players go out of their way to pretend that they care about other people. Non-Aggression Pacts generally spring up (NAPs), which generally elevate some and cause the lowest levels to constantly be raided and losing the virtual resources they have gathered. Eventually the lower levels get upset, quit the game, and with a lack of new players, the server eats itself. Every single time."

Worse is even the #Tablet market: #Android #Tablets may be plentyful if you just go sheer listings, but in terms of #MarketShare they are negigible in "the global north" and thus not interesting for #developers to even bother adapting or testing for unless they themselves are #GAFAMs.
- It's really fucking sad when @thunderbird is one of the few #Apps that I know that properly use Android Tablets' screen estate at all. Allegedly #Microsoft's own Apps do so as well but I myself have no #AndroidTablet and can't bring myself over the gag reflex trying to sideload #OneNote or any other App and having to deal with yet another shitty account...
Whereas on #iPadOS you get AA+ and #IndieGames worth their money by a long shot.
- Don't even get #developers like @fuchsiii started on how piss-poor premium Apps on #Android sell and how that Tablet segment is essentially dead outside of markets where people can buy a house and a years' worth of necessities for the price of a single #iPad...
And that's why there are only #PayToLoose / #P2L aka. "#PayToWin" / #P2W games for #Android as #piracy is rampant and statistically noone is willing to pay for a #OneTimePurchase #Game on that platform.
@emilianosandri I think the "#DigitalDetox" #cult is a counter-reaction to #screentime being used as a #metric to do #Enshittification, worsen the experience and increasing amounts of shitty #shovelware and #PayToLoose (#P2L) aka. "#PayToWin" (#P2W) games!
What @tomscott parodized in one segment of a video is an actual business of avusing people with harmful patterns!
I'm so pleased that #TheFirstDescendant player base has gone dry.
From having 270K to 8K at best, representing a 97% decrease since almost a year when it launched 30th June 2024.
Only 3% of the player base are either simps, bitches, or saudi princes.

@hisold OFC #Cheats are a way to learn how to "#hack" as in "What if I change the value at this address?"
- #CheatEngine is like the old tool everyone who didn't have a cracked #IDE / #debugger at hand in the days before #Ghidra.
And I still do recommend anyone interested in #IT and espechally #ITsec to build themselves their own #airgapped #HomeLab to "#FuckAroundAndFindOut!" safely within.
- Kinda like a "Dojo" (something that costs $$ per hour in terms of a "remote lab" to even be given access in)...
And with #AntiP2W becoming mainstream as well as Players despising #P2W / #PayToWin / #Pay2Win (aka. #P2L / #PayToLoose / #Pay2Loose) as well as literal #gambling on some #Minecraft servers, I don't blame Kids that feel shafted (harder than #Millenials like myself back in the days of #HabboHotel) if they decide to fuck with servers rather than scamming other players…
#RainbowCapitalism and #Pinkwashing is bad.
- Espechally when it preys upon #marginalized folks and #minors!

Someone called me #P2W on #rocketleague earlier .... Like I'm not even gold. LoL.
Can you even be P2W on rocket league?!?
Tencent knows the deal with #DeltaForce.
It's pay-to-win. They will make their money the first months, and then call it a day.
Why play a game that you can lose because somebody has a bigger credit card?
For f*ck sake, another good game that goes out the list to play this year.

People who bitch about #p2w aspects of a #game... Like gear upgrades for monies and such .. have never played #mtg. Wanna win a tournament? Definitely gonna be paying more.... Oh, what about #WW3? That's definitely gonna be pay-to-win. Competitive games should always be pay to win.. cooperative, not soo much. That said, I'm all for co-op games!!!
@fzer0 Ja. Frauen gehen auf Frauen los. Da ist Stutenbissigkeit das eine Motiv, (zzz diese Hormone) andererseits aber auch das kalte Kalkül, dass die schwächste Gegnerin die man aus dem Weg räumen kann, eine andere Frau ist. Ich finde beides immer abstoßend und dahinter steckt zumeinst ein erkennbarer #Führungsfehler .
#Fallout habe ich damals aufgegeben, es gab mir noch zu wenige verschiedene Währungen für #p2w -#micropayments (gab glaub ich "bloß" 5)
From April 15, the bird app will be using a full pay-to-win model. Only tweets from Twitter Blue subscribers will be recommended in the main feed. Or as one would say in gaming: No skill required. 💰 😬
:mukiLaugh: with Twitter getting rid of legacy verified checks, I've decided to help them out by going a step further. Am considering turning this into a Chrome extension. I really don't like the idea of "pay to win" social media. #noxp
The algorithm is nice, but if they are gonna promote posts more from users who pay? I'll just get rid of all those user's posts. XP
Don't forget, on the Fediverse, we don't have a pay to win algorithm. So please support your owners/admins of the instance you're on so that they can continue supporting you with a place to call home :hug: #twitter #p2w #fediverse #admins
A big thank you to all the Fediverse instance owners, admins, and moderators, for all of the thankless volunteered hours they've spent helping to keep this place alive and safe from those who wish to cause us harm.

Essentially you’re buying a $90 gift card for this one game, and as a “thank you” with a wink, you get a super powerful and equally rare item. But you’re only “allowed” to give them a large sum of money once per account, so that makes it cool?
@melerva is #F2P w/o #P2W!
[only in-game cosmetics are being offered - often in lootboxes tho, but those can be sold off on Steam's market!]

Decent way to get some free monies for them #p2w games as a #f2p player. #mobilegaming

Yeah, I think I've reached the #Free2Play ceiling in #MarioKartTour for now...
I need to gain weekly ranking tiers to clear this challenge, but last week I went down one tier, and this week I'm stuck at 24.
And if I look at the drivers, karts and flyers used by my opponents, I don't think it's as much a matter of skill, but rather of purchases…
