@moosader: Kinda bummed, I never got around to finishing this episode and finally just did, listened to the discussion around microstransactions and was truly surprised by the takes, yeah. As mentioned by you moosader and ALLTheDinos, this is actually a problem for kids and it's pretty broad to say "parents should be educated" well sure. But no one's doing that either, and GB crew assume a lot about all parents - not every kid has the kind of present parent they talk about, or there may just be comprehension barriers. I was a child of immigrants myself and I'm glad this shit didn't exist when I was a kid, they wouldn't have known how to control that stuff easily. And with older kids who are getting their own jobs it's even more complex, they can spend that directly.
I work for one of the AAA companies myself, and I'll tell you this - the money multiplies infinitely, and we never see our own wages increase. F2P and microstransactions don't improve our own budgets or salaries, just quarter over quarter earnings and exec bonuses.
Sorry, just figured it was worth the rant in case someone might read it, haha.
Change is not a bad thing. Thanks for being transparent with us, still excited about the GB crew and keeping my subscription. :) Jeff will be missed but not far away..
I'm so happy Jess and Jan are in these deliberations especially, I love the whole crew but I appreciate the takes/preferences they bring to the table. I realize that's probably because they more closely represent my own backgrounds/feelings but still, I'm glad to hear discussions expanding instead of becoming repetitive
Loved this, great new show! I too never really got into Silent Hill so I'm really enjoying both Jan's newness to it (my perspective) and Jess' expertise and wealth of SH knowledge.
