FIFA Ultimate Team. I know it’s not free but it is totally pay to win

[@danielacostareyes9989]

She expose like us in the elementary

[@nami4823]

This is fairly a topic i never thought should be tackled but actually is interesting to

[@p_noizesacha]

I'm curious to know who she actually interviewed and the games they developed.

[@DarkPrinceNeo]

This topic is going to start being talked about a lot more, and it will be interesting to see if this video blows up.. As of 6 June 2022 - 7,931 views.

Unfortunately it did not and people are still being exploited by unethical practices

[@louisyoung1916]

This is a good introduction to the topic. Thank you! 🙂 In some online games, a small number of players basically buy armies and form dominant alliances (aka guilds, etc.) to take over the game world, thereby marginalizing non-paying players and significantly decreasing their enjoyment of the game. It would be interesting to hear if the developers she interviewed make any real effort to prevent this; it often seems like the industry's attitude is basically that "life isn't fair". 🤷‍♂

Please tell me she interviewed the best free to play game dev on the planet the Path of Exile devs Grinding Gear Games. They are the ONLY dev that has done it properly. Besides maybe Warframe. devs Digital Extremes.

What a worthless talk...

[@NoizeGate]

That's very true, Some titles are purely Pay to Win...

[@Ra4DL]

Yongyea. Angryjoe. Your work has paid off. We got a TEDtalk about microtransactions.

[@shahinjeddi]

well im little disagree with her gloss for "Pay2Win" . in fact i think every game within In-app payment wich sells anything other than customization , should call " pay 2 win " and we just have good and bad " pay 2 win " games. the good ones will make free 2 play players enjoy enough to stay but in any case players who spent to get through time or get a legendry item or special upgrade or ... in all of this kind of games can ride on free 2 play players easily and thats how it should be and game designers cant really avoid it .

Perfect 👍 👏👏👏

The end result of video games goes beyond winning but to entertaining 🤪. If paying for skin is the cost of adding more aesthetics and fun in the game play then this is worth it. At the end of the day who doesn't like a gun effects where chicks come out of the bullets after firing. It is entertaining for some so if they feel like spending on it then so be it cos at the end the business of entertainment and fun is achieved.
