When you have Online servers that run a game you have to have a revenue stream for that. The most Fair method is a subscription. You either pay it or you dont period. None of this Gamble box BS because it does not matter if you have a cosmetic shop or not, people dont spend much money if at all in these shops. Just like HOTS for me, Yea in 3 months of playing I bought 1 character in there it cost me $8s I think. I also wanted more heroes but I was not going to buy each hero. BUT if they charged me $4 to $8 per month or 2 months or what ever for full access I would have done that. The Nickle and Diming BS is real. Why do you think I no longer play most games today? Because if you put this into your game I am just not going to play this crap.
This is what happens when you have Always On Gaming. They could do the Starcraft Model which was B2P game and B2P Expansions and still make a crap ton of money. The Only Online piece is the servers to match up players, not to run the game itself. These 2 systems were far superior to anything today. But we seem to have to cater to the people who dont want to spend a dime to play which causes Loot Boxes.
Just give them full access to the content for X amount of hours or unlimited based on cost.
Yup. Adults learn this....

where the REAL scam is to be completely frank is in the marketing of convincing kids the only place worth looking at games is AAA. THAT is where the real problem is
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

How are you going to "fight" cash shops and f2p? Ranting on forums does not seem to work.
You can choose not to give them money .. but that is done by most of their players anyway, except the whales.
In fact, when i enjoy warframe for free, am i "fighting" f2p?

Many reporters were arrested in Turkey for writing critical articles about the government.
They all were arrested for "spreading terrorist propaganda" without actually facing trials because the new Turkish law allows you to put someone in jail for years without bringing them to court.
So yeah this proverb strikes me in a bad way.

Also, the video is supposed to be taken lightly. . it is satirical and maybe a little sarcastic.
