Those consoomer concerns groups must not have phones.

I assume the big crossover here is autism.

Consoomer groups are run by boomers who don't understand technology.

I may have a gambling problem but at least poker is a very skill based game where even the worst hand can win, and in roulette I have a system to minimize damage, it sometimes works..
It's a trap!

Roulette, pretty much the worst classic casino game, is still way better than your average loot box.

Observe Megashield, the whale to end all whales!



Notice how he facerolls everyone. Those are all whales.
$250000 well spent! :lol:

I'm not even sure why people bother with this shit when superior Diablo-like experience can be had for effectively much cheaper.
Then again I'm not the target audience for this type of scamfest, so what do I know.

I couldn't ever imagine having that kind of money and spending it on Gatcha mobileshit.

Because they're whales; they've conditioned themselves to "spend, spend, spend!" on shit like this because they have too much time and money in their worthless lives, feeding the shekel-laundering machine as they go. The usual defense always boils down to:
>It's MY money! I'll do what I want with it!
>I'm bored with my life!
>The game still made millions in its first week, so who cares?
>I still made some friends through it! Where's yours?
>But if I don't demonstrate how predatory its P2W practices are, who will?
Every mobage gaymer ever, so on and so forth.

They're just addicts. There's no point in arguing with such people. Addicts can't reason clearly while in the throes of addiction. Any flimsy justification they offer is meaningless white noise meant to divert you so they can feel good about going back into their addiction.

A mobile gaming whale is just a cuckold gambling addict, except without the class required to learn to play IRL card and casino games.

Shit, blowing 250k over a few weeks in Las Vegas with all the drinking and debauchery that goes along with it would at least be a blast and make for great stories.

Meanwhile, Megashield is the #1 paypig for the worst Diablo game with nothing to show for.
Imagine bringing that up as a conversation piece. You'd have enough stories for days from the former, while if you even bring up the latter everyone will just think you're the most boring twat they have ever talked to.

And most importantly, without the (remote) chance of winning a lot of real money.
All they get at the end of it all is this:

Among the list of excuses, this one wins the title of blackest retard gorilla nigger by the longest of margins.
ASSmongold: "Guys, i'm whaling this shit like crazy just to show you how predatory it is! I'm doing it for you!"
No balding faggot, you are part of the problem.
You could get the same amount of views, donations and the same result by playing that shit for free like i did with Let It Die, and show how far you can really go with your skills alone.
But the truth is that you are as much of an addict to instant gratification as DSP is.
