To be clear, the Texas Hold’em was definitely a joke as it can be a huge money hole for people waiting for profit, but yeah, I get your meaning.
I read the link skullgiver posted about FinSoul, and I don’t know if it’s mind blowing or inevitable and obvious that they’ve moved from scamming fake coins to building fake game worlds to con people into being vaporware investors.
These are free to Prime members and they stay in your library even if you end your prime membership. I don’t have an active membership right now but some months the line up is worth signing up for a month, especially if you can get a prime discount somehow. This isn’t one of those months for me since I have the ones I would want already, but maybe this group interests others.
It used to be all redeemable at the same time but they’ve wisened up and staggered the release, with each being available for 30 days (more or less) from the drop date.
Here’s where you see what’s currently available and for how long (click the Games option): gaming.amazon.com/home
But the way it works, you can essentially get 2 months’ worth for 1 month’s price, if you wait until the last minute to signup for games you want that are still active with one or two days availability left, then also pick up the new ones that become active during your 30 day membership.
So if someone wanted this package starting with Deathloop, I’d keep an eye on the prime gaming page until it only has a day left towards the end of December, then sign up to redeem everything in December and January.
But if you signup right now, you can still get everything for November starting with Rage 2 (and some from Oct starting with Evan’s Remains), then pick up Deathloop and everything else in December.
Someone should have told them Texas Hold’em already exists.
I guess in a world where you can get paid to do surveys all day, why not? It sounds intriguing, and there’s enough regular financial management sims that I could see it working somehow, but apparently not yet really. Be interesting to see the ones that didn’t fold and why they’re still around. Though that could just be because of people willing to part with their money.
Have to wonder if they would actually be totally fine if they just didn’t have to pay out such huge legal expenses in lawsuits, and for enormous settlements, and had just played it straight with customers, and just accepted Apple and Google’s fees.
I think it was implied by “rarest” being in quotes.
edit: at least, I knew immediately it was no such thing because of that, like every other time someone says something while doing air quotes with their fingers.
