[QUOTE="Vendor-Lazarus, post: 13109, member: 4"] What used to be companies making passion projects & products, have been pushed aside by greedy and profit-maximizing corporations. They have many means and ways to get around troublesome individuals with their army of lawyers and psychologists. No need to wonder how the globotocracy took over, as they either just bought the company outright, or utilized their PR and marketing departments to wrangle inferior products through hype. This is an interesting watch that showcases the monetization in videogames: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g16heGLKlTA[/URL] Included are examples of FOMO (Fear of missing out), Selling Piecemeal Frameworks (for MTX & DLC), Habit-making (Timers and P2W), and much more. So, in the end, I guess I'm blaming both consumers (for falling for it) and "producers" (for implementing them) equally. Heck, thrown in Governments for not stopping shady practices too. [/QUOTE]
