Playing video games produced by others is not a human right. Game designers are not public servants. Players deserve the game play experience they pay for; everyone is equal in that everyone is owed nothing by default.
I will never understand why anyone would want to pay a game to win itself, or spend their gaming time shopping for purely decorative trophies for achievements they never made, but if people hate having money that much, who am I to keep them from harmlessly disposing of it?
Pay to win system has been devastating that video game, factually.
People love money and want their money to be real when purchasing DLC or anything in life. Where you going with this?...because I have spent money on the sims games and expect the games to preform for my dollars. 🙂 Just trying to understand . 🙂
You want my money... then bring limited bugs in the game. I'm stressing over several EP's that can't be played even though I paid.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the OP says "pay-to-win," I'm interpreting that as games selling add-ons that give players advantages over other players, whether in direct competitions or in personal scoring, ranking, leveling, achievement badges, etc.
Essentially, paying for ways to bypass actual gameplay in order to get shiny rewards that say "I am very good at playing this game!" Making "winning" a matter of spending money and not of skill. I'm probably explaining this very, very badly...
I personally dislike this practice, and feel more than a little snobby toward players who buy their way toward "achievements" and expect to be regarded with the same esteem as players who earned those achievements by, you know, playing the game skillfully, but it's hardly a crisis of human rights, dignity and equality, as the OP's language seems to imply. This particular OP does have a flair for the sensational and hyperbolic, though, if you read their other threads.
I don't think getting a game that performs as advertised is what anyone is talking about here (again, correct me if I'm wrong, OP). A company that promises you a functioning product, takes your money, gives you a defective product, and then refuses to fix or replace it unless you pay an additional fee is committing theft, and that IS a violation of human rights.
