In game currency of F2P games is part of the nasty financial scheme. Game economists are half-assed amateur central bankers with the sole mind to farm more $$$ from the players. We should just plain ban in-game currencies.
- immibis 2y agoSo a mithril longsword will have to be bought using real money or not at all.
- markus_zhang 2y agoIt can be incorporated in the initial price. I hope to remove F2P games altogether. They are really cancerous.
- immibis 2y agoSo the price of the game includes the real world price of buying a mithril longsword, and you can't slay goblins to get gold pieces to buy one in the game.
- markus_zhang 2y agoSorry I don't really get what you are talking about. They can just sell like ordinary PC games. Yeah, they can price really high if they so wish, but it's going to impact the sales.
- immibis 2y agoMithril longswords should be priced like PC games? I don't follow. In a normal game you'd kill orcs, pick up some stuff from each dead orc, sell the stuff to a merchant, and buy stuff you want from a different merchant. You're suggesting that should be illegal, so you should have to just... already start with all the equipment you'd ever want?
- markus_zhang 2y agoI don't follow you, please core dump you CPU first.
