Why not just not play them if you don’t like them?
I think that hunting games are not fun at all, but I can very easily address that by just not playing them, which avoids starting a fight with people who do like them. If I decided “I need to tell people to play games as I see best” and impose a ban, I’d be going out and starting a fight with people that just doesn’t need to happen.
The problem here isn’t that the games are bad, it’s that people are being taken advantage off. A lot of effort goes into making these games as enticing to spend to spend money as possible, which leads to people spending more money on them than they can afford. Vulnerable people are being taken advantage off, and that’s not okay.
it’s gambling for children is why. While I can choose to not buy the MTX inside a game, children and some young adults are more vulnerable to psychologically manipulative dark patterns that have been designed to mimic addiction as closely as possible.

Personally I’m not a huge fan of slavery, so I don’t buy from companies who use it. Wanna guess how good this is at solving slavery?

Fuck them kids. Children aren’t why these bastards are offering financing for this industry-swallowing abuse.
Wise words, stop making kids and let humanity die out in peace
‘This systemic theft is against adults.’
‘Yeah, man, voluntary extinction.’

Bu-si-ness mo-del.
Not: genre. Not: content. Not: players. We are talking about corporations committing systemic abuse for profit.
Abuse that’s gouging so hard, you might need FINANCING… to play a VIDEO GAME. How big a hint do you need that something has gone wrong?
They’re making everything like that now
