It didn’t go that well. And I ended up trigger ranting about how robotic and inhuman my interactions with GL have been over the years. Maybe it got a little too deep. CC doesn’t care.

A favorite comment, on the whole young gamer coming forward and talking about being addicted to micro transactions, and spending over 13,000 dollars starting when he was 13; was someone who pointed out that this does nothing for the money guys to convince them to stop, all this kids testimony does is give them a greed boner, cause their method works. We have to remind them, no actually, it’s about the love of gaming first and foremost. Greed us, trick is, we’re gonna wiff your BS, and talk about it on the internet. This is a main reason why Net Neutrality is so important. Without it, the whole EA thing, would have gone very different, best believe.

I bring this up because, Gameloft will ALWAYS be in it to make money. So it’s our job to speak out like this brave kid/adult (he’s 18 now,) is doing, and say “no, this isn’t right.” You don’t have to exploit vulnerable passionate people. You CAN make a lot on money and be a gaming company with heart. There’s PLENTY of examples this year of companies that cared about their game AND the people who are playing them. The problem is the business model of GL EA etc is at it’s core micro transactions. Greed next dimensional, because they want all your money, and just as important all of your TIME! The only way they go is down a path, that makes them money on a regular basis, so it seems like their internal discussion about it have to do with the best way to make this happen. Guess what? Us players actually know best. So let’s discuss it! My thoughts where custom decals and custom painjobs somehow monetized, like Overwatch skins. That would also promote YouTubers who post A8 as it gives them more of a online identity. That’s just an idea, but whatever it is, it should be our idea.
