Of all the ideas of all time, the idea that Warframe has an aggressive monetization plan is certainly one of them.

Yes, you CAN save time by buying a resource drop booster, but those can also be earned in game. you CAN just buy whatever Warframe you want right now, but you can absolutely earn them all in game. You CAN buy Platinum, but you can also trade for it in game and never spend a dime. But none of this is aggressively presented to you, none of it gets pushed on you. The mere existence of boosters is a far cry from aggressively pushing them, the only one nagging you that you “could have had more” is you.

And the accusations of FOMO are pretty misplaced. It’s not completely absent, but on the rare occasion that your login bonus is a coupon for platinum you’re only ever one click away from just ignoring it. So many games will put something on sale once and tell you up front that if you don’t BUY it now, you’ll never get it, if you miss out, you REALLY miss out. Warframe never does that, even the things that are limited time are on a rotation, they’ll be back, and they can always be earned in game without spending a dime. Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always. You can pay for a shortcut, you can pay to skip some part you don’t like, but at no point do you ever have to, and it definitely doesn’t PUSH microtransactions on you like so many other games. You won’t get pop ups telling you to buy some limited time bundle or encouraging you to double your payout with this booster or that. Those things exist, and they’re tucked away in the market where you don’t have to interact with them. If you’re really wound up over resource drop boosters or the like, you’ll get them as the occasional log in bonus from time to time, but in most cases they’re just not going to be necessary. The things that tend to block you aren’t things a drop booster is likely to seriously impact. Frankly, if you ever spend platinum on a booster, you’re a fool.

You spent money, once. By your own admission it wasn’t even a lot. That’s fine, just have some shred of self control and the game won’t push more on you. Have a modicum of patience and sooner or later the game will give you what you were looking for anyway.

It’s about time men got the healthcare attention they deserve, right guys? /s

It’s a breakdown of a guy leading the production of a shitty game complaining about people who speak negatively about shitty games without paying for them first.

The most generous interpretation is that he knows his game is going to get shit on from a great height and it’s already bothering him.

It’s weird, where are all the people who were saying the launch delay was probably for valid reasons? Where are the people saying that it couldn’t have all been lies because that would just come out in court? Where are those few vigorous defenders of Krafton now? There’s a big plate of shit here and they must be hungry.

Without the ability of a private person to verify that, though, it’s no more persuasive than explaining all the other things we did up there.

And if the person is capable enough to actually use a laser to accurately target and measure the reflection of these retroreflectors, they’re not a moon landing denier.

The kind of people who want ChatGPT to fail probably never had a subscription in the first place.

Just because you’ll lose the war doesn’t mean you stop fighting. Make them fight for every step they take and never make it easy for them.

I’m pretty sure each and every single week of Trump’s presidency has had things bad enough that they have ended other political careers before, and he just doesn’t stop.

So what would have to happen for the evidence to be credible, if a mountain of testimony isn’t? Are you going to stay skeptical until you see full unredacted video of Trump raping a child?

One person’s testimony, in isolation, may be suspect, but this is a lot more than one person with a “Trust me bro” story.

Yeah, we know that. We ALL fucking know that. Frankly so many of us know that so clearly that they could release the whole thing and not only would nobody be surprised, but the limp wristed fuckwits in positions of power would still continue to do nothing.

Releasing the Trump-Epstein documents would only serve to implicate anyone else who has thus far managed to fly under the radar. There can’t be anyone left with more than a room temperature IQ who is waiting to see the full unredacted documents before they FINALLY believe Trump did that shit.
