2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

Getting. People. Addicted. To. Fucking. Gambling. And. Taking. Their. Fucking. Money.
That's the goddamned unethical part, chief.
I mean, are you fucking serious? I had to spell that shit out for you, word for fucking word? I can't even figure out the degree to which you're fucking gaslighting me. Which is the point, I suppose. Congratulations.
So, you may have known this if you played the game or perhaps even spent two minutes researching the thing you're pretending to be an expert on, but you don't have to spend money on the game. Like, at all. And other people spending money on the game doesn't impact you, as a player, because there is no multiplayer.
Anyway, thanks for the live demonstration of my point about informed opinions and such. This concludes the "ridicule" portion, now begins "dismiss".
So you're just confirming that you're a psychopath/sociopath.
I care about other people, EVEN IF THEIR SUFFERING DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT ME.
I realize this is a completely foreign concept to you, so I'll try to explain it in very simple terms, one final time:
I am not going to support a game with a gambling-based structure, because I care about other humans. I refuse to support unethical developers who are exploiting gambling addicts. That's completely separate from whether I'm going to spend money on the game myself, or whether I'm theoretically able to get everything I want from the game, without the gambling ever affecting me.
Again, I realize that your neurology isn't correctly configured to experience empathy. You can't be fixed.
So a guy registered on lemmynsfw, an instance whose users have been known to post exploitative pictures, is bitching about... gacha games. Oh wow. Wow.
