The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

GTA Online is just Final Fantasy XIV for people who drink in Wetherspoons and put football accumulator bets on
Fifa is just starcraft for english people

games can't be good anymore everything has to make a point against something else and nobody is allowed to have fun anymore
this is how the vast majority of gamers online interact with the medium on a daily basis

I reviewed Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for Digital Trends. It’s a great fighting game dragged down by the state of the world. This is the hardest review I've ever had to write. I hope you'll read it.

I can't thank @marioprime.bsky.social enough for giving this a home.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves review: one last show in South Town
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is a strong fighting game, but one that feels a bit creatively compromised by the business dealings powering it.

#Balatro is now rated 18+ 🃏

The game's creator fires back:

"Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions, loot boxes, and real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA Sports FC"

Over at the other place all I see is

"this game sucks"
"the industry is cooked"
"Woke! DEI!"
*complaints about game fidelity*

Here meanwhile:

"I love this game"
"Check out my gaming collection"
"Here's a list of games I love"
*Overwhelming positive discussion*

The contrast is staggering.
