    it’s fascinating how the “top selling” that is measured by “gross revenue” has so many “free to play” games on the top. ahhh the aggressive gambling tactics

      Warframe is there and everything in the game can be unlocked for free, its a grindy looter shooter that rose against the odds and is a shining examplen of f2p, the story is like 11/10, it is on another level

        a game can be good and have predatory gambling mechanics inside of it. in fact making a game people want to play more of, enables those mechanics to work on a larger number of people

    I really dislike the way they hide the original prices on Steam now and you have to open the store pages to find the original price.

    I think it even goes against some consumer rules here in Europe.

    (I think they even didn’t have the original price visible for a while)
