So watching my nephew play apple arcade games on his tv has been harrowing. (hexbear.net)

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"

Honestly like. I think LOST is just one of those times where the half of the fanbase that didnt like the conclusion is just... wrong lol. Its not really homework to figure out the mysteries. IN this case, its the ones who want the reason why the bird screamed "Hurley" spelled out for them step by step that come off as the wrong ones to me. But thats just my taste. Im open to the idea that someone who was in it for the mystery could feel unsatisfied. I just dont get it.

Like I said, I have to take your word for it and weigh it against those that probably don't feel like they're wrong for not liking it.

As for me, I've felt burned enough times by Abrams' "Mystery Boxes" to be tired and even disgusted with his pretenses of actually completing what he claims he's setting out to do. The Disney Star Wars trilogy especially comes to mind with "that's a story for another time" and all that. Sure, if it wasn't passed on to Rian Johnson and back to him, maybe it'd have had a chance of having less empty and unresolved plot hooks, but with his track record I have my doubts.
