I want to shed light on a tactic that involves collecting data as you play, feeding this data into complex algorithms and models that then alter the rules of your game under the hood to optimize spending opportunities.

    ‘I consider this game’s business model fundamentally intolerable, and its total price divorced from reality.’

    ‘So why aren’t you playing it?’

    You are not a serious person.

      Who said “why aren’t you playing it”? I said you should play it. Very different things.

      I know why you’re not playing it. It’s because you’re a sourpuss that doesn’t like good games and does like being angry on the Internet.

      I’m saying you should change that and play good games. Don’t even need to spend hundreds on them. Just throw a tenner at them on sale, give them a look, maybe.

      Also, and I say this with utmost sincerity, I am not a serious person. Wish I was even less serious. I’m a bit too stiff for comfort, really.

          You know the real problem with this conversation?

          It is not, and everything I said is sincere and honest.

          I mean, unless it’s a confession, which I guess I could believe.
