#p2w — Public Fediverse posts

I started playing #runescape at the young age of 5 yo

#jagex has to be one of my oldest favorite #gaming company

But overtime, they added many paid annoying mechanics known as #p2w, mostly in #rs3

But a few months ago, they announced that they were removing most of these bad mechanics

And focus on the #integrity of the game.

I mostly play #osrs but I think this is sooo cool and respectable

Jagex is a British (non-us) company and I hope more companies take note of this behavior.

"Why do I play them? Because I find it interesting to see how players go out of their way to pretend that they care about other people. Non-Aggression Pacts generally spring up (NAPs), which generally elevate some and cause the lowest levels to constantly be raided and losing the virtual resources they have gathered. Eventually the lower levels get upset, quit the game, and with a lack of new players, the server eats itself. Every single time."

I'm so pleased that #TheFirstDescendant player base has gone dry.

From having 270K to 8K at best, representing a 97% decrease since almost a year when it launched 30th June 2024.

Only 3% of the player base are either simps, bitches, or saudi princes.

Tencent knows the deal with #DeltaForce.

It's pay-to-win. They will make their money the first months, and then call it a day.

Why play a game that you can lose because somebody has a bigger credit card?

For f*ck sake, another good game that goes out the list to play this year.

Helldivers 2 costa 40€ e poi ci sono oggetti che danno vantaggi ingame ottenibili o pagando soldi veri o grindando.
Ma ehi, non è P2W eh, perché puoi ottenere le stesse cose grindando.

Possono anche tenerselo.

(Diciamolo: chissà com'è pensato bene per divertire, un gioco che permette di saltare il grind con soldi veri. Sono sicurissimo che il grind sia divertentissimo!)

@fzer0 Ja. Frauen gehen auf Frauen los. Da ist Stutenbissigkeit das eine Motiv, (zzz diese Hormone) andererseits aber auch das kalte Kalkül, dass die schwächste Gegnerin die man schlagen kann, eine andere Frau ist. Ich finde beides immer abstoßend und ist zumeinst ein erkennbarer Führungsfehler.

#Fallout habe ich damals aufgegeben, es gab mir noch zu wenige verschiedene Währungen für #p2w -#micropayments (gab glaub ich bloß 5)

Essentially you’re buying a $90 gift card for this one game, and as a “thank you” with a wink, you get a super powerful and equally rare item. But you’re only “allowed” to give them a large sum of money once per account, so that makes it cool?

@melerva is #F2P w/o #P2W!
[only in-game cosmetics are being offered - often in lootboxes tho, but those can be sold off on Steam's market!]

Yeah, I think I've reached the #Free2Play ceiling in #MarioKartTour for now...

I need to gain weekly ranking tiers to clear this challenge, but last week I went down one tier, and this week I'm stuck at 24.

And if I look at the drivers, karts and flyers used by my opponents, I don't think it's as much a matter of skill, but rather of purchases…
