They're everywhere, and literally screwing up the world. That being said, I wouldn't want to criticize the gameplay, either. If it's fun, it's fun; that's very personal. But the predatory FOMO aspect is completely fair game. permalink fedilink source parent [–] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago I never spent any money but I remember being pretty excited back in 2013 or so. Luckily I'm not a huge idiot in this respect and decided to wait until it was at least mostly done before I got it.
