I don't want to waste my time either, so I'm not gonna play it.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It seems like the kind of game you watch 20 minute YouTube video about and you know everything you need to know about it

[–] TheBest@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

My exact intentions

Just like pretty much every other live service game.

[–] Buddahriffic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't even watched 20 minutes about it and already know about as much as I want to know about it.

I mean, what else are they gonna say? “We’re totally gonna waste your time AND milk you for as much of your money as possible!”

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

Just waste your money, an endless amount of it.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Translation: they're SO gonna waste your time.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

They just want your money, not your time.

[–] Gabadabs@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nobody is going to buy this I don't get why they're pushing it

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are they now banking on a handful mega whales?

[–] Gabadabs@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I'm getting the vibe that it's been developed with full knowledge that it's going to be a commercial flop, and they're just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they're just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

We want this game to be generous, both with your time and…

[–] quams69@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I believe the devs, unfortunately publishers call the shots

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

An efficient wallet siphon. It'll only want a few minutes a day! That's totally not habituation as a mechanic for addiction!

Did you also watch Tom's latest video? Only the first half or so is about vaping before it goes into bigger context. https://youtu.be/XuTQbOo3Y30?si=M2CqXlX6tiGmAkJ4

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Nah, I've been pissed about this for maybe five straight years. If any video was a tipping point it was surely Dan Olsen's Manufactured Discontent.

Don't worry devs, by not buying the game I know you won't waste my time. If I need a batman fix I'll visit Arkham city.

Yeah the part where they kill Batman was leaked online months a go and that's the only part of the game people are curious about.
