but it still gonna deter the usage, because in order to make it profitable they have to put more ads without making too obnoxious

isnt that good? so ea cant use it XD

same developer as slither.io?

i suggesting the same stuff as you, but i got bomb with downvote XD

Didn't you just prove my point? If nobody buys food because I put rocks and sticks in it, I go out of business. That's exactly how consumer choice forces bad ideas to fail

here i am still using tv from 1990 XD

hahaha

tbh, i would love to watch ads about indomie when i play game, at least i will have reason to eat it and it remind me of the good ol day of internet cafe

can imagine if that what elon planning XD

because that f2p game, would cost u more money than buying the game upfront

i spend like 80-90 dollar on dota2 cosmetic, plus 2 battlepasses and its levels

patenting stuff and using it, is two different thing

but isnt this kind deal is from like shitty mobile game? i remember when i play really shitty idle game, it have this deal XD

So every time someone has a different perspective than you, you just dismiss them as an AI script? Might be time to open your mind a little bit.

but as someone that no really care about grammar (not my mother tongue), ai really help me tidying up my grammar, so my point can be understandable

Your point about normalization and the domino effect actually makes sense, and i agree with you on this

My main reason for leaning so heavily against that original post was that they were telling people to off themselves just for wanting to make money. Corporate monetization might be annoying, but suggesting suicide over it is way out of line.

But what actually makes it bad? Is making a game and wanting to get a financial benefit out of it inherently wrong?

Why doesn't that same logic apply to celebrities doing brand endorsements, shoving products down our throats that they probably don't even use just because they are famous? And don't forget product placement in movies.

Also, developing a modern video game can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and if it flops, it's just a dead loss. Unlike movies, which can recoup losses through streaming deals or cable rights, a bad video game usually means nobody plays it and the studio loses everything. That is a massive financial risk.

Where do you draw the line?

What do you mean? You were the one who brought morality into this by comparing game developers to Nazi soldiers.

You claim that 'just doing their job' isn't a valid defense, but how else am I supposed to look at it? It is literally their job to find new ways to monetize a product. If a company pushes a bad strategy, consumers can just stop playing and paying, like when BMW tried subscription heated seats and failed because of low sales. Blaming employees for doing what they are hired to do, while people keep playing the game, makes no sense. Trying new ways to make money isn't a moral crime; it's just business.

I don't think any business can be completely unregulated. Does that change the fact that private companies still have to operate under professional standards and official accountability? Plus, saying people who work for a private company are 'just like you and me' (implying they act like the general masses) is a stretch. People who work in government are also just regular human beings. Since private companies are in it for profit, isn't it in their best interest to avoid shady practices? Doing illegal things would simply destroy their own business

Oh, I just realized you're the original commenter XD

Why didn't you lead with a reasonable argument in the first place, rather than suggesting self-harm or dismissing other points of view? I actually agree with you on the domino effect, even though it doesn't really change my core view that businesses naturally try to milk it

Why treat the public and the government as identical? The government operates under professional standards and official accountability. It’s like saying that because I trust a doctor to perform surgery, I should let anyone cut into my body

I get what you're trying to do, you're trying to show how uncomfortable it feels to lose privacy. But here's see it: the masses can't be held accountable if someone misuses your data. How would you even track down who abused the information once everyone has access to it?

Plus, being forced to hand over your personal life alone while everyone else stays hidden isn't the same as a universal system where everyone operates under the exact same standard rules.
