I mean that's sims 3. sims 1 came out way earlier.

Sims 2 best sims

change my mind

its sims

the original sims game was released in 2000.

not playing it is the best

what does that have to do with the price of rice in china, coat?

original sims players became the candy crush players.

what year did the original sims developer leave it?

uh

eh, that sounds a little bit like causation and correlation being confused

i mean what are you basing that on lol

what you mean in women in that age bracket played both

I wonder when the microtransaction bubble bursts

and it still doesn't really have anything to do with anything

since its still fucking huge in china

so those third world chinks will keep it fueled a bit longer

but over here in actually civilised non shithole nations people are starting to get a lil tired in the public eye

we still vote with our wallets so we vote they remain

but public perception is decreasing rapidly

lootbox bubble is queued to burst as more and more countries acknowledge it's gambling and cant be sold or marketed to kids

that's the earliest example of the DLC model I can think of

It'll prob be like the 84' game crash where it only happened in NA

but

MTX generally will just evolve

I wanna ask you all something

we're not talking about DLC though

whats the difference, other than tangibility, between trading packs and microtransaction lootboxes

seriously

there isnt one

physical vs digital

both have aftermarket values, both are targeted gambling towards minors

i already said that pirate

and they were "addons" back then, not DLC as such. modern DLC is a far cry from old games with addons, and yes newer sims are way worse than early sims for this as well

Monetisation of additional content in games. My understanding is MTX evolved from the downsizing of DLC.

"other than tangibility"

no

tangibility is important

you cant dismiss it

no it isnt

the lootbox MTX, which is what we're talking about, originated with EA
