I like to remind the chuds who think that game quality is the same thing as sales that the greatest game of all time is Clash of Clans. Elden Ring, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and BG3 are pathetic in comparison.

Rolls? FOMO on stickers, shields, “player”?

I played it as full f2p player and joined their discord once (don’t ask me why) there were literal scams of people posting their (?) Lockscreen with the messages app from iPhone with someone sending them SMS with “You received 1 million dices” or BS like that. Tried to report a few of them but never got an answer so… Guess how

thanks AV

Ah yes the age old economic practice of creating an extortion racket against an audience of what I’d assume are mostly kids

The markets are never wrong, lemming!

It gave me cancer seeing their discord. Full of scams of people selling a PNG for money or dice/sticker scams with obvious fake screens if you look at them for more than 0.3s
