GGG does it again! How is nobody even discussing how your favorite game is trying to abuse addicts?

You have PAYMENT PLANS for MTX now and NOBODY bats an eye? Not a single Reddit or forum thread? What?
I don't understand...

"Hey guys, I know that you are poor, struggling in life with bills to even have $30 expendable money but we know that you're addicts so why not give us more of your money and make your life more miserable?"

This isn't either some payment processor having new cool automated options. They go out of their way to get you in by having to email them.

Please, name me a single more unethical customer abusing practice in gaming. I'm listening!

Not to mention that they are already clickbaiting their own customers to advertise their MTX more.

"Good news everyone! Big development timeline here!"
"Nvm lol buy our MTX with a payment plan you filthy addict"

And in overall there is no talk about how lootboxes are getting out of control. The only post that I found about lootboxes was actually praising GGG.

> More buttons in game for lootboxes
> Buy in bulk lootboxes
> Lootbox in game announcement spam
> More of these "free lootbox" promotions to suck you in

The result? "Wow thank you GGG, you are literally angels!"

Oh theres a few, EA do it in any game they can get away with they just had to relax a bit after the punch in the nose they got for battlefront. Their sport games are still crammed with predatory MTX shit of every kind under the sun.

Also PoE really is f2p you can get an amazing increase on QoL for spending the whatever few dollars for a currency and trade tab but you can manage without.

What do you expect from a fanbase that acts like a cult? They see this as a wonderful opportunity to give GGG money they don't even have.

EA does only dogshit products and dogshit lootboxes, period. EA's lootboxes are way less predatory and sophisticated than GGGs.

"PoE is F2P if you pay a few dollars on it"

Why am I even bothering?

They should introduce on-site loan options in casinos as well! It just makes people have more fun quicker as well even if they can't afford it!

Thank you GGG for being so progressive and spearheading a new opportunity for the mankind to create a better world!
