It's comical how sheep like you defend horrible and unethical business practices
-
[quote]unethical business practices[/quote] Back up this claim. All I see is a F2P game with microtransactions.
-
A good umber of these Free to play games are designed purposefully to trick people into constantly paying more and more and more without knowing what they are acualy doing. Take Candy Crush for example, I have see people max out credit cards on that game.

Edited by Wonderbread: 3/31/2014 6:06:58 AMCandy Crush is on the extreme end of the spectrum and is a poor comparison. The game being discussed is playable without spending a dime. You get one minigame free, and can unlock more with actual money. Its more of an online arcade then a game. A simple google search showed me this. A better comparison would be Killer Instinct for the Xbox One.

Killer Instinct: $20 game with a free extensive demo Rusty's Real Deal Shakedown: Progress via constant Microtransactions

Its not progress. Its different mini games, That is it. Get over it, just because you don't like the idea doesn't make it an "Unethical Business Practice"
-
But it will be worded to give the illusion of progress just like the rest of these F2P games are. Experienced gamers could tell the difference, but remember who Nintendo markets to; Casuals and little kids who wont be able to tell and will fall right into the trap
-
Proof? Because everything I've seen has it worded as a purchase with real money to unlock other mini-games. So its a mini-game marketplace that gives you one free game.
-
Proof? Just listen to Iwata's damn presentation, in fact just think for a moment, He even treats the microtrasactions as a major gameplay mechanic
-
You mean when he tells you how you can purchase the games? And when he states you pay [u]real money[/u] to get them. Dude, they arn't hiding it or trying to trick people into paying more. Theres nothing unethical about this. Its nothing more than a marketplace for mini-games.
-
The same could be said about Candy Crush. They never acualy hide the fact that you pay real money, but people still broke themselves on that game didnt they
-
Except Candy Crush isn't a Mini-game marketplace and goes out of its way to make you spend money or not play. You can keep playing the one free mini-game in this as much as you want. And I'm sorry, but if people went broke on Candy Crush then they are really bad with money or just idiots, or children of idiots, take your pick.
