If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.
I... I do not like this. I do not like this timeline one bit. No thank you.
I've looked over this step-by-step thing and I'm still completely fucking lost on what part of this is supposed to be fun
"The right to participate in the world missions" bitch what why do i need a fucking jpeg to play a game
no no see its fun for Square because they get to watch all the fake money rolling in
I feel like a whole five dollars of silly bucks isn't much lol
I keep asking, "who is this for."
And then I realize that if Square Enix takes a cut of any of these transactions, then they are hunting whales. They're hunting rich people with enough spare change that they can just buy a ticket to participate in the final mission of this game - a ticket you can sell if you earn it by playing the game enough and are lucky.
They're selling lottery tickets in the shape of a video game, and they're turning the game into a new form of work, and they're ensuring that the only people having any real fun are the rich folks. I have to admire this the way one admires the xenomorph. They have invented a game where you speedrun late-stage capitalism.
I like how at no point in their "how to play" slide does it describe the actual gameplay even a little.
