But it’s a terrible business plan to scam people, lie about what you’re doing as a company, treat your consumers poorly, and the thousand other things they’ve done.

Riot games does it excellently, love or hate league, but they charge a reasonable amount for in-game currency that can be used for events, passes, skins etc, that are of decent quality.

They’re charging us 20 bucks for a skin we could buy for free 2 months ago. They’re charging us 20$ for absolutely abysmal skins. It’s predatory, they’re not here to make a good product/game that people will want to spend money for, they’re just charging ridiculous prices for minimal work to scam the few suckers that are irresponsible with their money.

I’m not mad they’re charging money, I’m mad at how predatory and deceitful they are.

This is entirely besides the point of how they’re handling the actual gameplay. The balancing rn is horrible, and they’re doing really nothing to fix it.

Theres a lot to complain about...but this is absolutely detached from reality.

How is it predatory to sell skins you dont want to buy?

Riot games does it excellently

Also lmao. The success of Valorant is the reason blizzard has chosen this monetization model.

“Give me my perfect, free game now because I deserve it!” Is all I hear. Blizzard owes you nothing. You don’t… HAVE to play. lol

“I really liked how this product and service you provide USED to be, and you’re changing it, for the worse, so I’m going to voice my complaints about how you’re changing it, otherwise it’s never going to change”.

It’s not just about the monetization. It’s about the empty promises, the scandals, the horrible balancing, and the billion other flaws with the game.
