>> then a couple of consumables that are optional and you can earn during a game anyway if you're lucky, but can buy more if you want (it's a push your luck game, so luck is part of the design)
> That's where I kind of start to consider the game "bullshit", I want to play and enjoy myself, not have constant FOMO of what could be if only I'd spent some more money. That said, it doesn't sound nearly as annoying as some of the crap I've installed.
I realize that there is an editorial aspect to this, and I think that's a valuable thing. As with any editorial choice, there will always be these interesting questions at the boundary between acceptable and not.
Where do you fall on Fortnite? Fortnite makes raftloads of money, but doesn't require any purchases to win or give advantages in play to purchasers. They make their money primarily from cosmetic add-ons. People who play a lot for free can still claim new skins and such.
I would argue that Fortnite is actually No BS, but I can also see how it's borderline because you could spend virtually unlimited amounts of money in it. But is that the dividing line?
- StavrosK 7y agoYou're exactly right that there's an editorial line, so this list reflects my personal beliefs and classification on BS/noBS. I think cosmetics are fine, since you can fully enjoy the game without them, and if a game ONLY has cosmetics, it can go on the list (there's even a dropdown item for that in the submission form).
- dangoor 7y agoCool. FWIW, that sounds like a good line between BS/No BS to me!
