Now please make an argument how injecting myself with $3k worth of heroin is actually better than vidja games because it's a physical good / an experience.

I don't really need to defend my spending. Sorry I have discretionary income and some of it goes to mobile gaming? It sure gets people in a tiffy though. Sorry I'm not giving you guys my money or something I guess, like that one guy who thought that he could tell me a story for $3k and somehow that would be the same as me dicking around on my phone for 6-12 months for a couple hours a day and getting some enjoyment out of it.

Heroin probably wouldn't be that big of a problem if the experience was comparable to clash of clans.

Plus, it lets Chris "A Thumb in a Turtleneck" Roberts get to play "Master Game Director" and do things like shoot endless hours of motion capture. Chris roberts take on a viable company is fortunately not the legal standard, a reasonable person is.

Referring to your earlier post re: the amount spent. You're right, there are folks who spend 1000 USD or more a week(or every couple of days) on mobile games. What you've spent isn't even in the lower portion of some of those averages. What's blowing the goon hive mind is the fact that, when you have a lot of money, that amount isn't much. There are folks who earn that much in interest(or a lot more) before the day is out, everyday. Millionaires get bored and like to play mobile games too. They just have much more money to spend on the things they like. Folks who are high and mighty think that you're obligated to spend that on art and culture. Any amount of money that you spend that isn't going to living expenses, and ~art~ is frivolous and automatically brands you for elimination by the socialists.

Yeah I'm just making fun of him because he's a goober who insists he isn't a REAL whale while he spends thousands on lovely mobile games. It's his obstinate denial that's the thing here. Also the classic "I guess you're all a bunch of jealous poors, sorry I have disposable income" double down that we see every time someone gets huffy defending their questionable purchases.

I am defiantly not a socialist, but I do think that spending money on phone games is dumb as hell. not because I am jelly about someone else's income level, but because there are so many good game alternatives out there (more than anyone could ever play in a lifetime) that don't cost $3000. It's just a pure waste. It's not even conspicuous consumption. I can understand buying a $1000 bottle of wine or a gold plated yacht or a $10,000 suit so that you look more impressive to other people. but spending that much on a phone game just makes you look like a fool.

It's just a pure waste. In the end, it's all a matter of personal preference and how much you're willing to spend on a game. If I'm playing a lovely mobile game and enjoying it, you're not gonna sell me on engrossing storylines or any of the other arbitray metrics used to judge one set of blinking interactive pixels from another. Some folks just want stupid simple games, and have lots of money to spend on them. In the case of SC, some folks just want expensive imaginary space ships for their imaginary space game.

Why not spend that money on actually good games tho? Like you could easily buy 100 very good games with $3k.

Buying normal video games for a set price doesn't make you friends though. This is unlike lovely mobile game clans where your clan-mates you shower in items constantly are definitely your real friends who think you're a cool and smart person.

Bobcats posted:Hahaha Crysis? Lush jungle Crysis? An excellent base for our space game. Yeah people were calling them dumb five years ago for the decision to use Cryengine. It turns out Crytek offered to do the kickstarter pitch video for free and give some discounts in exchange for their engine being chosen. Also that cinematic video made it look like a bunch of work had already been done and generated a lot of hype and early sales. So they basically just deleted the island and changed the skybox to a starfield. They can't even get rid of the water that exists under every Crysis map by default so occasionally you'd see a spaceman get the stock crysis-suit-visor-splashed-while-leaving-water animation at random. It's taken them six years to struggle to have 12 people playing simultaneously at 10fps. Most of the work has been on motion capturing tens of hours of footage with 300+ speaking roles and a 1,500+ page script for his moviegame magnum opus Squadron 42. The MMO portion everyone paid for is just a scam to try and milk more movieshoot money. VictorianQueerLit fucked around with this message at 20:11 on May 29, 2018 |

Wow $54K spent... Does that make that guy a whale??? Really uncertain because I heard some other guy somewhere supposedly bought a sound system for $80k. As you know 80 is bigger than 54 so maybe he's not a whale???

It's just disposable income to him so he isn't a whale, other people have spent much more and this is a hobby to him who are you to tell him how to spend his money? Are you part of the socialist goon hivemind?

People can spend their money however they drat well please. We can judge them for it though. Seriously, what is the ultimate goal of the game. I've never looked into seriously, and for a while I got it confused with no man's sky. It's a space exploration game where you can pay to get better ships? Is it eventually supposed to be like eve corporation builder or tie fighter spacebattles or no man's sky exploration or dust514 planetary bombardment or a combination of all of those?
