If the fact that you happened to play a game before other people is something you're actively and intensely proud of, you're a fucking loser.

Well I think in some cases, people are proud to be early adopters of things.

They like to show that they supported something when it potentially needed the most support and they put faith in a project before it had a large scale foothold.

I'm not saying that's the case here, but I don't think calling someone a fucking loser for being proud of supporting the things they like is really fair.

Alternatively, if you respect yourself, don't play Fortnite.

Play Deep Rock Galactic instead, where you can go back in time to replay old seasons to get all the skins and upgrades that were ever introduced to the game. All free, lots of grind but its wholesome from start to finish. Rock and Stone!

You can play the Lorax in this game?

I mean there are trees in it, but not only do you not protect them, you actually need to protect yourself from them

Play doom2 instead

To be fair, you could say that about most games.

I'm starting to think that video game culture is just a complex psy-op designed to redirect the youth's energy for protesting injustice to the most trivial shit.

"Bread and Circuses!" As yelled by my father anytime I asked him to get cable so I could watch sports.

Occam's Razor. It's just corporations milking us dry.

I prefer the way world of warcraft did it.

I had an original amani war bear mount which was exclusively available between patches 2.3 and 3.0 if you completed a very hard timed dungeon available once per 3 days (1 mount per completed run and there were ten people per run, so also limited by that). Some years later after people complained about not being able to get it anymore blizzard added the amani battle bear mount which is visually the same but a recolor. That way you still get the cool mount but the og earners still feel special.

Or maybe don't trust a games company that only focussed on revenues to the point where any grind item can just be bought so progression is not a factor in game design.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I much prefer that to the yearly release model we had before

To be an OG ForkKnife player is to be constantly under attack

I'm an OG Fortnite player (c. 2017)...

Check out my stats, lol

E: Ok it was meant to be a joke, I've played 3 solo games, as if it's something to be proud of.

I wish my Save the World skins transferred over but as a Linuxer I have never played BR

Perhaps it was a veiled attempt to discourage people from paying money for pixels on a screen after paying for pixels on a screen?

The point of digital goods is that scarcity doesn't have to be taken into account, stop taking away our strengths.

EVERYBODY gets the Renegade Skin!

I play DBD, I have a lot of event exclusive skins, when I see other people get them after the event isn't exclusive anymore, my reaction is "Oh hey, now this can be a skin instead of a status symbol."
