More like the local store suing Walmart for putting them out of business, but only after they pushed away all of their customers with bad ideas and flashy gimmicks
And she's one of those who is doing it "for the children". So, one of those disgusting beings who hides behind children to get anything she wants done.
I think a big one to me is when the world doesn’t revovle around me, when things happen without player input because the player isn’t the centre of the universe. Every NPC just wating in stasis or walking on a preset loop forever until I hit the next event trigger really kills immersion.
Thrive (the npc cells undergo independant evolution and competition)
To a much lesser degree cyberpunk (and I would suspect fallout 4) with the correct mod sets can have the NPC factions carry out battles and limited warfare without any player intervention.
I had Nebula for a while, I did the $6 monthly plan. I got rid of it because I’m a broke bitch, but I really enjoyed the platform and there are many creators on there.
It also offers a Lifetime membership, currently $300. Nebula is very transparent that this is not intended to be a good deal for customers. You should only do this if you strongly dislike recurring costs, and/or if you want to support Nebula. The CEO has stated that this is their alternative to seeking venture funding. It allows them to raise large amounts of money for more expensive investments (such as Nebula Originals, including Jason Slaughter’s upcoming “Day Pass”), without selling out their ownership to corporate interests.
The Horse Armor is definitely an early form of microtransations, but it’s not the first type. A lot of people think of it as the first “paid for dlc”, but that’s not quite right either. Because it didn’t really add any new content, it just altered existing content. It was the first kind of paid “mod” of game. But even that’s not quite accurate either. Because “Mods” include things that enhance gameplay, add/improve features, etc. What the horse armor really showed is that people would spend money for different “Skins”. Horse armor was the first paid for “skin”. Character skins, weapon skins, gun charms, etc etc.
But even given all that, the horse armor still isn’t the start of microtransactions in games.
Crystals/EnergyShards/Feathers/etcetcetc. The price wall/gatekeep bullshit meant to restrict play unless you paid. Those are the first real “microtranscations”. And for that you can thank casual games that predate the SmartPhone era. Like FarmVille.
I’m offered a variety of things to review, but since this is a friend’s site, I’m not paid to review nor write, and there’s no ads on the site…I’m lucky enough to not have to review everything to survive. Or even to keep the content machine going like most YouTubers have to. I just do this for fun!
I just accept the handhelds I find interesting to me, the ones I find most unique.
But I’ve written for a few years now in various gaming spaces, so I do understand why I get asked :)
And I also feel very lucky to do so! I really love gaming handhelds, its a passion of mine :)
