When did hating become sooooo coool? Who needs a mythical angel to be a childhood hero, when I have all these nostalgic postmodern hipster gamers to idolize?
@packtop Unfortunately for their parents, probably too many. While in app purchases do not necessitate parasitical business practices, many games do--and they specifically target children who can purchase things without needing a CC because their parents have already entered it.
@GermanBomber @Sythion @DaneGamer Okay, counter argument: Most of the movie knock-off console games over the decades have been obvious exploitative attempts to get money for the least amount of effort. At least when you get angry birds you can enjoy it!
@GermanBomber @Sythion @DaneGamer There have always been cash grabs and quality games. If you can't tell the difference in mobile gaming then you aren't qualified to cast a blanket statement around the medium.
@Dictatroll @Sythion Remember when we were all like "Hey. There is ice here when there wasn't before. Let's see whats on the other side. Oh look, new continent. Dibs!" That went well for a few millennium!
@GermanBomber @DaneGamer Not really sad. The fascination with Mario comes from the same place as the fascination with Angry Birds. Invalidating one invalidates the other.
