No, dismissing because of shitty monetisation is great. It could not be implemented in the first place.
Buying a game without reading reviews is like buying a game with these shitty monetisation schemes.

The videos would be smaller, or the phone would have to be huge. I can already multitask on my phone, an oval shaped phone would be incredibly impractical. A notch/cutout isn’t a big deal, it just sits in the notification bar and phones didnt even used to have screen there anyway.
Phones getting too big is why they are harder to use one handed, not because they are rectangular.
I refuse to buy co-op games that have the online requirement/live service bullshit. It’s only done to sell you battle passes and shit.
Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.
Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.
Its not AR, an AR headset is something like HoloLens, this is just a VR headset with your eyes on the front.
If they are, then this vision pro is truly extortion.
VR requires a bit of setup, which is off putting. I dont have the space to have mine out all the time, theres also a shortage of high quality games. Waiting on Valve to push the envelope again.
Most modern headsets have passthrough, its not some new feature. It is the part that Apple focused on though.
An overpriced VR headset.
It was a tongue in cheek, rhetorical question, regarding what I said before it.
I know, it was a rhetorical question given the stance they take on a lot of things always aligning with what Google wants.
I expected Mozilla to implement this, I don’t know how they expect to get marketshare by just following in Google’s footsteps every step of the way.
Is Firefox it’s own browser or just Chrome with a different engine? Even Apple support jxl, well the decoding anyway.
That explains a lot if this was their plan. RIP Raspberry Pi.
Convenient, easy to use, available everywhere.
I agree with you, I hate gambling. It has ruined many lives.
But that doesn’t mean I cannot discuss the shit as it exists.
That shouldn’t be too hard to understand. I won’t engage with this further. Have a good one.
I’m not defending anyone, I’d rather you pay for your game and that is it, how it used to be before the 2010s rolled around. I despise micro/macrotransactions, battle passes, the cosmetic trend, FOMO content, I could rant about it all day and how fucked it is.
I was just picking my best of the worst. I see you don’t understand how CS skins work, so I’ll try to explain.
So I get a lot more freedom with my new cosmetic item vs another game:
So yeah, I think Valve have the best of the worst predatory cosmetic systems out there. That’s not defending the practice, I’d MUCH rather the whole cosmetic trend fucked off along with the microtransactions and online systems in singleplayer games and the list could go on…
(Edit: Lmao at you editing and putting ‘for 50 cent’ in there)
What’s new and advanced about this? Hasn’t it all already existed in some form? It’s just been Apple-ified, no? It’s just a VR headset, an actual AR headset is something like HoloLens.
Beyond the tech, who is even the target audience for this? I only see it as a gimmick, one for just Apple geeks to buy. One of the reasons 3DTV’s failed is because nobody wanted to wear the glasses, so why would anyone want to strap this to their face just to do something they already do or could do on their TV/computer/phone?
You can already pretty much do everything this can with an existing VR headset in one way or another, for a lot cheaper.
It’s a bizzare product.
Yeah, the reason why they make so much is because the skins have actual value, they also get 15% on any sale made through their community market. I fucking hate lootboxes, but I also hate skins costing as much as a game. MTX (micro or macro) are always going to be shit, until regulations catch up to all the predatory bullshit we are going to be stuck with one system or another and I’d rather take CS’s.
I mean I made a profit, if I sold up right now.
Even when they get a new user on Linux, they still then scrutinise their choice of distribution, if not that then their IDE. There’s no winning and it’s off-putting for people considering the jump.
The game could also just not have a battle pass. How are people already so indoctrinated into their existence? No paid games should have extra monetisation in.
