TitanSparrow The pesticide Atrazine is a major pollutant in most drinking water. It causes male frogs to develop functioning female reproductive organs. Frogs can do that naturally, but it’s significantly more common when they live in Atrazine-polluted water (even when the level of Atrazine in the frogs’ water is only a fraction of the legally permissible level of Atrazine in our drinking water). Atrazine interferes with the hormonal activity of both humans and animals at extremely low doses.

This. Pokemon was my favorite franchise until that E3 announcement. They went from having a $40 price point in the handheld Era to $60, a $30 DLC expansion, plus the subscription for Home (up to $16/yr) and Bank ($5/yr) in the console Era. Home Premium costs almost as much as an annual Nintendo Switch Online subscription! This is EA levels of price gouging.

[@QuestionYourWorld]

@@TheHikariOne you know what bothers me. I spoke with some Pokemon fans at work. Their response was "At least we don't have to buy another game at full price." and I'm like "what do you mean? You used to get a full game for $40. Now you're paying $90+ for a still incomplete experience?" When did people become complacent with this level of greed?

[@TheHikariOne]

@@QuestionYourWorld When you're the most valuable franchise on the planet (by around $9B), you can get away with a lot, apparently. Not my words, but another user mentioned that brand loyalty is likely the only reason Pokemon and Game Freak get away with this junk. Imagine the blood on the streets if Capcom or Atlus came up with a pay model like this for Monster Hunter or some future Persona title -- people would riot.

[@HeyMyNameIs...]

the reason why i would always back expansions and good value dlc over microtransactions: + it adds additional gameplay, enlarging the overall game experience + having absolutely no negative impact to others even getting more quality content in the future + doesn't screw over the balance of the game and is completely OPTIONAL + customers feel a sense of value with their purchase even years later + a single game doesn't get overstuffed with content and doesn't give customers the feeling of catching up + social pressure has less effect with dlc than microtransactions skins and items like in fortnite + games with dlc as a business model has normally a cap not higher or less than 30/60 bucks microtransactions: - risk of impacting the game even further with grind tactics in future or current games if you buy some - looking good or getting rewarded with skins and other items is practically behind a paywall now - overstuffed ingame stores with skins and boosters - developers need to put in longer (crunch) hours on the same game under the name 'game as a service' because of microtransactions, causing burn outs. - less innovation in future games because they already make milions on the same gameplay loop because of microtransactions - complexity turns into simplicity in games so that publishers reach a wider audience meaning more cash - games as a service - corrupting gamers with the "it's necessary because games are to expensive" speech while ignoring that publishers still make more revenue selling dlc or the game itself. - workers not seeing a penny of this ridiculous wealth and publishers not paying a single penny of that microtransaction money in tax. - money goes to innovations in gambling mechanics, RPG mechanical tricks for children and adults to spend more money instead of going to new features and innovation. love or hate my opinion, even call me a millennial but i remember a time not so long ago when i bought my game. I got something bursting with creativity, innovation, value, quality over quantity with good dlc and at least a finished product with some less hard drive intensive patch updates. that for only 60 bucks or less with an OPTIONAL season pass of around 30 or 40 bucks. fight for good gaming people.

Garrett Naugher I think saying that it's the video games is something of an easy out for the blame on that shooting when mass media in general like movies and music do the same. That way they can say they did something to address the issue (specifically that shooting) without looking much further.

Let me tell a story about video game violence and my mother. My mom was one of those moms that did not care what game or movie I saw. My mom could not care less about video games, she has zero interest in such things. But when I was playing GTA3 my mom actually would watch just a few seconds of me playing, she even talk to me and said, "Chris, you do know the difference between real life and a video game?" I was like, "Yes mom I would never do the things in a game and replicate it in real life. I am not dumb, I know this is a game, and it just for fun". My mom felt some relief that day, tho I know she did not have anything to worry about. GTA vice city comes out. I beg my mom to get this game (im about 16 at the time) she buys me the game. While playing one day my mom decided to watch me play for just a second my new game. I was sitting in a nice car just parked by the curb when I had no idea that a NPC can jack you for the car. I got jacked and instantly sprung into action to get my car back. I was like Oh hell no motherfucker, (yes i can curse in my house my mom did not care lol) As i pulled the guy out my car I proceeded to bash the persons face in with my baseball bat over and over saying fuck you bitch this is what you get. My mom laughed hysterically and said you're so bad Chris, and i began to laugh too. When you give your kids freedom to make their own choices but you poke in just enough to let them know hey games are fake but what you do in reality is for real and you can't take that back. You can still be a cool parent and let your kid make their own decisions. But if you drill shit in there head and say this is bad this is good, how the fuck is your kid suppose to make up their mind for themselves.

I find it disturbing that video games have evolved into what they have since the 1980, 1990s, and early 2000s. As the internet has become more ubiquitous so has the monetization of everything technological whether it be mobile devices, cinema, or gaming. Greed kills quality of tech, and the more time that passes the more technology that used to be free is now stripped away and monetized. Coming from the generation that saw game companies strive for excellence delivering epic titles, I can say that the past ten years of gaming release have been abysmal and continually get worse. Working in schools I see children idolize new game titles and spend their parents money on DLC, and I explain to them that once upon a time when you purchased a game, you got the full game. The only way to stop this greedy corporate madness in all things technological is to wipe the slate clean and allow other start up companies to rise to glory without reprisal from current top industry juggernauts.

No. We restructure the system so that greedy corporate practices become unprofitable and completely transparent/accountable. The bigger they get, the stronger greed pulls at them, so those who cling to their money like toddlers are swiftly and loudly punished. It needs to massively blow up in their faces in front of as many irrefutable journalists as possible. Sorry, I'm just sick to death of companies (mostly EA) pulling a disappearing act on the consequences.

I legit wrote a paper on how video games do not cause violence. Had a lot of fun ranting over these 15 pages and got a pretty good grade. Win-win.
