Oh don’t worry, I’ll pour the exact same scorn on people who pour money into EA’s yearly sports games, Activision’s yearly shooting games, every fucking mobile game ever, and all the nicotine stained gamblers propping up their local bookies.

But lets not pretend it’s “supporting a project” or fundraising in any way, shape or form. It’s throwing money at greedy cunts because they have an addiction problem.

And while gambling becomes ever more heavily regulated, gaming seems to avoid it. It won’t manage it forever, and $1000 pretend spaceships are pushing boundaries that will bring regulations down on the whole industry.

I played summoner wars for 100s of hours at my last call center job and never spent a dime it.

You’re gambling on v1.0 ever truly coming out!

And that’s a joke. I agree there is currently no gambling.

Haha fair, they’re absolutely trending towards a release though. I don’t think most people truly understand the scope of Dev work that’s gone into this game in the past decade.

Hey now, there are some (very few, but some) mobile games that are quite good. Dawncaster is an excellent deck builder for example.

I know it’s cheap, but I’ve had a lot of fun with Fallout: Shelter
