Not a place for gamer gate talk or other reactionary behavior. TERFs and incels get the wall.
Society is literally at a point where I've gotten straight up evicted from multiple friend groups because they started orbiting highly-predatory freemiums or pay-to-plays that inexplicably had constantly-stocked, sideways-priced cash shops while everything earnable looked like k-mart threads; and I wasn't about getting hoovered like that. If that's not 'cult-like', I don't know what is.
I got sucked in to Fire Emblem Heroes. Wish I didn't. But I quit about a year ago and I think I'm fully done with any game with even slightly sketchy monetization. But especially loot boxes.
