I’m pretty sure they are. Them telling you that they’re recording the call is both them “getting your consent” to the recording (Because you continued the call) and them consenting to the recording. They may not think you will have a copy of the recording, but they basically started by saying the call can be recorded.

No, and also fuck off with that.

I like how you can’t actually refute any of what I said, and all you can call out is regional differences in spelling. You’re right though, I didn’t know that was the British spelling. Using that as the focal point of your rebuttal, though, is about as meaningful as achievements that can be unlocked with a console command.

If you fill a safe with rocket fuel and ignite it, the safe is not guaranteed to contain the result.

Your weak reading comprehension is your problem, but let me help you anyway.

If achievements don’t matter, then your inability to unlock them also doesn’t matter. You’re complaining about not being given Nothing.

Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours [SIC] is your own.

Perfect, then you won’t care about being locked out of earning those silly little internet points.

Achievements do not serve some great purpose, but what little purpose they do serve requires that earning them is done on equal footing. If the “100% Completion on Hardest Difficulty” achievement can just be earned by playing through the game with god mode on, or even just toggling a status from zero to one with console commands, then they go from serving very little purpose to serving none at all.

So either achievements are completely pointless, and you’re complaining about not getting a pointless thing, or achievements have some value and you want them to have no value at all.

You know that by trivializing the value of achievements in the first place you also trivialize the importance of not being able to get them, right?

Of all the ideas of all time, the idea that Warframe has an aggressive monetization plan is certainly one of them.

Yes, you CAN save time by buying a resource drop booster, but those can also be earned in game. you CAN just buy whatever Warframe you want right now, but you can absolutely earn them all in game. You CAN buy Platinum, but you can also trade for it in game and never spend a dime. But none of this is aggressively presented to you, none of it gets pushed on you. The mere existence of boosters is a far cry from aggressively pushing them, the only one nagging you that you “could have had more” is you.

And the accusations of FOMO are pretty misplaced. It’s not completely absent, but on the rare occasion that your login bonus is a coupon for platinum you’re only ever one click away from just ignoring it. So many games will put something on sale once and tell you up front that if you don’t BUY it now, you’ll never get it, if you miss out, you REALLY miss out. Warframe never does that, even the things that are limited time are on a rotation, they’ll be back, and they can always be earned in game without spending a dime. Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always. You can pay for a shortcut, you can pay to skip some part you don’t like, but at no point do you ever have to, and it definitely doesn’t PUSH microtransactions on you like so many other games. You won’t get pop ups telling you to buy some limited time bundle or encouraging you to double your payout with this booster or that. Those things exist, and they’re tucked away in the market where you don’t have to interact with them. If you’re really wound up over resource drop boosters or the like, you’ll get them as the occasional log in bonus from time to time, but in most cases they’re just not going to be necessary. The things that tend to block you aren’t things a drop booster is likely to seriously impact. Frankly, if you ever spend platinum on a booster, you’re a fool.

You spent money, once. By your own admission it wasn’t even a lot. That’s fine, just have some shred of self control and the game won’t push more on you. Have a modicum of patience and sooner or later the game will give you what you were looking for anyway.

It’s weird, where are all the people who were saying the launch delay was probably for valid reasons? Where are the people saying that it couldn’t have all been lies because that would just come out in court? Where are those few vigorous defenders of Krafton now? There’s a big plate of shit here and they must be hungry.

Yeah, we all saw that coming and it’s exactly why everyone’s freaking out about it.

Good. And lets hope it’s not even the only one.

I loved the hell out of that game. The Widow was sick as hell, stealth missile ship, loved that. It’s still pretty high on my list of games by time played and I miss it.

Don’t discount the number of ultraconservatives who secretly use the app and don’t want to feel oppressed!

Lol this guy doesn’t know what the dodecahedron is for. Get a load of this!

It’s not a question of the world being too big or too small, it’s the density of interesting things. A giant world with very little worth doing doesn’t accomplish much, but similarly a small world where you’re absolutely tripping over things that feel like you shouldn’t skip them will also feel claustrophobic.

Additionally, the traversal system can help a LOT here. Even a world that has a lot of wide open dead space can feel good if the process of crossing that space is itself fun. Dune: Awakening comes to mind here, where there are large spans of open desert that you need to cross, but ripping across the dunes on my sandbike was so much fun I didn’t mind the dead ground.

Just switch over to a privacy focused mail service like… uh… like… well shit.

Which is why I fully stopped playing after the last pointless update.

Jesus christ, OP over here telling on himself.

So your position is that Greenheart Games, which as far as I can tell has fewer than 10 employees, is too corporate?

You know you can just turn off showing adult games again right? I’m pretty sure that’s a setting that’s off by default, but it’s definitely a setting.

All we can hope for is that after EA gets absolutely gutted, a bunch of new indy splinter studios spring up to use their development experience minus the corpo cash grabbery.
