| 00:00 | <@TheWatcher> | Classy |
| 00:01 | | * McMartin checks EverQuest's release date. 1999. |
| 00:02 | <&McMartin> | That's long enough that I guess I can add "rent access to gameplay servers" as a traditional monetization scheme alongside "license personal copies of the software for people to play in exchange for money" |
| 00:18 | <@celticminstrel> | With respect, Mr Riccitiello is an idiot. |
| 00:19 | <@celticminstrel> | I suppose that’s as good a reason as any not to use Unity. (Not that I had any plans to use it for anything.) |
| 00:19 | <&McMartin> | Yes, that's me pointing this out |
| 00:20 | <&McMartin> | That there are *extremely well-established* ways to do this that are not intrusive awful garbage and which cover the primary, important split of "does more players playing your game cost you, the dev/publisher, more money somehow" |
| 00:20 | <@celticminstrel> | “tuned their compulsion loop” |
| 00:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Uhh, WTH |
| 00:22 | <&McMartin> | Oh yeah, gacha theory is at cold-war deaths-of-billions levels of cold-blooded sociopathy |
| 00:22 | <&McMartin> | It is a reminder that gaming meant gambling first |
| 00:25 | <&McMartin> | (And entirely too many designers use "addictive" while describing what they intend to suggest are *desirable* qualities, even when you walk out of sociopath town...) |
