The spongebob game wasnt so bad. It had like a login bonus but it didnt seem to be too bad But once we got into the lego star wars game the f2p bullshit started. And oh god. This game clearly designed for kids had all the f2p bullshit. Login bonuses. Gridnyness. Multiple in game currencies. The daily/weekly ect missions. The unlockables

But god the racing game was even worse. 100000 things to unlock and basically nothing is by default basically. Sooooooooooo absurdly grindy. And most harrowing of all... i swear to god... 5 seperate in game currencies.

I want to reach out and scream to him "games werent always like this maaaaan"

I also blame Overwatch, that was around first and people made fun of players with default skins there too.

I've always hated Overwatch, mostly because it was so cynically designed from the start to press every button in freeze-gamer possible about the le sexy waifu archetypes that would get sucked in and keep paying for it.

But it's D I V E R S E in its selection of waifus! Please don't ask why the cowboy character's name is now different.

McCree, after Blizzard lead designer Jesse McCree. Then some bad stuff came out.
