I wonder what happens when the last whale has been milked dry.
I have some bad news for you friend.
I work at a casino. There is no end of whales. There are whales that are rich enough to sustain their habits and spend more than you or I could morally spend if we had the means. Then, there are whales that spend outside their means, burn out, and are replaced by a new person who does the same thing.
When a whale (highroller) stops coming, we usually assume they’ve gone to one of our competitor’s casinos.
I see no reason why this wouldn’t apply to real-money transactions in video games. It’s just another casino.
I agree. I usually like Karl’s content but his tone really did a disservice to this story. He really should have consulted someone that knows USA charity law for this. I don’t think he’s wrong, he just needed more credibility for his video. He’s also Australian, so US law isn’t something I’d expect him to know at all.
I don’t see how the completionist could make these claims about donating to specific cherities without actually donating a single cent until someone noticed. Surely USA charity law isn’t so broken that this is legal?
I loved that game even though I never figured it out. I couldn’t find anything else like it. It’s one of the reasons Spore disappointed me so much. Spore had customizable appearances but all the creatures acted the same. In Creatures, it almost felt like they were alive.
