Gaming “journalism” can’t afford outright say “company deliberately tries to hide enshittification of their game” aloud. Might lose that access to selective early copies for review!
I mean you’ve got people who are defending Bilzzard’s newest horse armor bullshit so yeah.
ETA: Yup, got quite a few Hardcore Gamers^TM in the thread defending this BS already with ‘it’s just cosmetics’, all fighting games do it, or won’t someone think of the devs, like like they think the developers are getting a cut off the money.
Yeah, you can find vocal people who will play the apologist for just about anything, it‘s baffling to the degree that I wonder if there‘s paid actors on social media in this sense

Divided? One must be pretty naive if they can’t see the move they are trying to pull here.
Can’t wait for f2p Project L to break into the genre and become the biggest and most popular fighting game.
Bait and switch. That’s the move.
Project L will not use LoL but Valorant as base.
Riot is a fan of fomo and high pricess.

Just sad frogs sitting in the boiling water.

Definitely paid actors. These companies all have social media teams. It’s not improbable that they create fake personal accounts to post apologist bs.
They also can buy sock puppet accounts and use those.
Yeah, I’m sure Blizzard’s really dumping a lot of resources into “shitposting on a Reddit clone with under 30k MAUs”.
Feeling called out?
I wish. I’ll bet Blizzard pays good.
I’m a real, human, unpaid “apologist” for DLC like this presented in Tekken 8 - AMA
Can’t wait for F2P game from the company probably MOST known for in game shops??
