  • R6S has been a pay-to-win mess after the first few “seasons”. What’s the difference between a subscription service and regular releases of “optional” $30 dlc that gives you new characters, and thus an edge over the competition?

    R6S players will cope by saying characters are balanced and, if you’re good, you can win with just the basic free characters. The fact is, more characters lets you adapt to, and more effectively counter, more maps, play styles, opposing characters, metas, etc…

    Yes, you can unlock the characters for free, but there are dozens of them and each one takes a ridiculous number of hours to unlock, during which you’re playing at a disadvantage. It’s pretty much impossible for anyone other than dedicated school-aged kids to unlock all of the characters for free.

    All of this, and the game still costs money to buy!!! Complete scam.



  • Most companies don’t die by making their product unbelievably great with an impossibly incredible, yet entirely unsustainable, value proposition for its customers. In fact, they’re doing the opposite by decreasing product quality as much as possible and fucking over the consumers and customer at every turn. MoviePass’s downfall much more closely mirrors an overfunded startup rather than enshitification.

    I wish more companies died like MoviePass. It was an amazing two years.
