- Wowfunhappy 5y agoRight, I've been playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the past hour. No microtransactions to speak of.
- pmarreck 5y agoI have 424 Steam games and not a single one is a freemium game, funny how that works
- Wowfunhappy 5y ago^ I can’t speak for which 424 games you have in your library, but careful with the terminology—there are (sadly) lots of paid games with microtransactions and dark patterns.
- pmarreck 5y agoI get that. I detect it and I consciously don't participate in it. If you understand and recognize the dark pattern, you can opt-out.
- fifticon 5y agoNot always true. Minecraft started out as a great game, and parts of it still is, but Microsoft bought it up and is busy stuffing it full of crap.
- pmarreck 5y agoWhy do people blame Minecraft for this and not Microsoft? Microsoft has been pulling these sorts of quasi-ethical moves for decades now
