My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them

After playing World of Warcraft for 15 years, I started becoming increasingly bored and disgruntled with the game. The game being grindy and repetitive is no real surprise, I mean it’s an MMO. But the one thing that was really frustrating was paying monthly for a subscription and a huge chunk of cash for an expansion, but...

This should be the new gaming copy pasta. I applaud your rational introspection, and solid writing.

Does patent mean something else there?

Just say “argh, matey.” Don’t need to gussy it up.

I play this game and was horrified when I saw that. Seems like a mistake. It’s really taxing them by income level, as education is what determines income level.

Another poster said you could pollute the area, too.

Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes....

People won’t enjoy a game unless they learn the basic features.

It’s a fine line for devs between teaching the player what they need to know in order to even have a chance at enjoying the game, and jamming it down their throats.

The classic example is the game Portal. It’s a perfect tutorial. The player doesn’t even realize it’s the tutorial.

I am frustrated with Cities Skylines 2, lately. Text-based tutorial with optional progress checks which is okay, but they pop up as soon as you look at a newly unlocked feature, not necessarily when you are ready to build the feature.

Why did they name a game after a secret society at Yale?

Should have picked something original.

My god man two hours have passed, did it drop off yet?

I just bought the game and see their post from today, which matches up with what you’re saying. I have high hopes.

Also, compared to any other city builder, there really is no competition. Even if the launch was truly botched, the game was unplayable, nobody got about 12 fps, there’s not another full feature city builder. Not since SimCity blew it’s brains out.

I wonder what is the oldest game to get a real expansion.

Lawyer here, it is true.

Board of directors and company officers have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders and the corporate entity.

Acts done outside their authority as stated in the articles of corporations are said to be ultra vires. They are absolutely actionable.

When the directors or officers breach the fiduciary duty to shareholders, they are liable under what’s called a derivative action, because it is derivative of the contract represented by the stock certificate.
