for a gacha game, it’s understandable. I don’t think spreading bad rumors about this game leads to anything positive for you or others.
Okay I really tried to refrain but honestly you're making me want to curse you all the way to hell, but I won't in the name of being civil.
How the hell can you say that it's "understandable" to spend more on this game, just because it's a gatcha?
By that logic somebody raping someone else is "understandable", because after all, that person was a rapist since before that.
What in the hell is happening in your head my man / woman?
Also, those are not rumors for the most part, and when / if they are, it's because the game is a fucking gatcha and there's 0 information on in-game prices online.
just go for the minimum tier
$35 is already ridiculous for a gatcha game where you don't even get everything unlocked.
Furthermore, I wanted to check what I actually get for that 280 NEP you get for pledging $35 once, but...you can't check.
There's no info that I am aware of that describes what you can actually buy with those 280 NEP, because just the same way you can't expect a rapist to not look at your ass, you can't expect a gatcha game and their dev to be upfront with you.
Where the hell do I check? Or am I supposed to spend a week's worth of food for 1 person to find out first?
$35 is the price of a full indie game if not more. It's the price of old games that can get you countless hours of pure fun. It's the price I pay for my yearly car road safety inspection for god's sake.
This is not $35 worthy. Not in the damn slightest, even for a gatcha game, the rapist of the videogame industry.
Many call it a scam, etc., but have they actually spent money on it?
I'm so tired of this undercooked argument.
I don't have to spend money on something to have a damn reason to dislike it.
Get this logic bomb: I didn't spend money on it BECAUSE I dislike it. How on earth is that not obvious?
I've spent money on countless normal games, and on NSFW games from Octopussy and Future Fragments, BECAUSE I liked them. I don't spend money on things BEFORE deciding whether I like the damn thing, because as opposed to you, I can't afford to yeet money across the room every time I get a boner. I - WE - don't have the luxury to FIRST spend, THEN decide whether the spending was worth it. Comprende?
I know artists and video creators who charge monthly for paid content at that rate. This game offers much higher quality and interactivity.
This "game" also offers incredibly high system requirements, lower accessibility due to loading times, network requirements, and overall format.
It's a 3d animation viewer with a pause an play button with different outfits, instead of a 2d video. That's it. That's where the benefits end.
But this whole "oh it's fine if he rapes me because I've been raped before" kind of mentality is ridiculous. It's what makes scammers rich and honest hard working people poor, like those that put their heart and soul into an indie game then charge $10 per copy.
My Patreon comparison wasn’t to say “others do it, so it’s okay” but to show that premium digital content often costs $10–$30 monthly, and this game’s quality and interactivity hold up well in that range.
That's, quite literally, the same exact thing phrased differently.
It's fine if you're willing to shell out so much money for a project that will only continue to take money for you, but you have no goddamn right to tell us that we have no right to criticize this gatcha wallet-rapist of a project.
