A Fond Farewell to TYPE-Moon

Thread's getting a little too helpful, let's go back to quitting TM.

You are choosing to be a victim. You could always play other games.

Alternatively, you could play GO and not spend anything.

Alternatively, you could play GO and not spend anything.

That's still supporting the game via word of mouth and popularity, as Spinach outlined.

Alternatively, you could play GO and not spend anything.

And DW and TM try to screw you over for that choice as much as they can get away with it, which is pretty much by any means possible.

"supporting the game via word of mouth and popularity" is supporting the game via word of mouth and popularity. Playing a game is just playing a game.

[Spinach]

You contribute to the game showing up at the top of app stores by playing it. All moves are losing moves. The only way to win is not to play.

[Herod]

No, app charts do not take in account playing time. Only donwloads, installs, uninstalls, number of reviews and average evaluation.

[Byegod]

Not sure whose intelligence I belittled unless you are hyperfocused on mentioning low self-control coomers, which made no mention of intelligence, just self-control. I even mentioned that in the same breath as legit gambling addictions. Two target audiences that the games predate upon who need saving.

This is my relentless activism, I am cutting off the source of the game's success one customer at a time.

So when are we gonna call nasu and takeuchi bad people for participating in this industry?

Yeah, so don't install the game. Unfortunately I can't undo what I've done, but I can march to prevent further evil.

[Herod]

Apkpure.

They're bad people and complicit in evil. There.

"supporting the game via word of mouth and popularity" is supporting the game via word of mouth and popularity. Playing a game is just playing a game.

You can exclusively play the game alone where no one can see you, never share anything to do with it to anyone you care about, and deliberately ignore all questionnaires and other incentives to showcase activity... you're still promoting the game anyway, because apps like Android Game Launcher or Iphone Gaming app still track activity and hours played for all your installed gacha games.

I'm not sure how can you read something like LB6 and call that minimal effort, but you do you.

I wouldn't know, I don't read the moonrunes.

I mean, I could, I'm just lazy and don't want to.

But on a serious note, I have heard from somebody who's actually played that it does actually feature cutscenes, and now more than a maximum of six characters on the screen, and a bunch more CGs than usual- and that's only more annoying, because if they can do that now, they could've done it when Solomon came out three years ago. They could've done it when they were making more money than any other app on the app store with their gambling-addict-exploitation money.

During earlier LBs: "We want an awesome scene here! This one dude flips our tank bus! Can we have a cool animation for that? What? Just rotate the interior CG a few times? Oh, I guess that works..." or they could've done something super spooky with BB's eye hacking routine, or they could've even changed the default music and menus and icons they've been using the game started and they had no idea what they wanted it to be six years ago.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

That's basically the catch anytime a mobage starts putting in more effort several years down the line. They don't have the excuse that they don't know if the gambling-addict money will come or not because so long as they have waifus/husbandos and a well-respected or well-known IP, it'll come.

It's just cheaper not to put in extra effort.

Apropos of nothing, I wonder how many people here have read A Farewell To Arms, which this thread's title partly echoes.

I've been meaning to, but haven't.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Haven't, but I've heard it's one of Hemingway's better books.

[Kamera]

I dislike gacha as much as the next person, but boy am I not tired of these kinds of discussions devolving to muh capitalism and puritanism advocation.

[SirGauoftheSquareTable]

Get used to it, it always comes down to capitalism.

[OverMaster]

Truly we are making history and changing the world for the better by shouting at each other across a small forum userbase on the topic of a game where a fox woman in a bikini hits men in the nuts after practicing the move on Robin Hood.

Fight on, Beast's Lair, one of these days you'll kill the monster.

[Namelesss]

I'm actually surprised there isn't a thread for these type of discussions there's the fgo story and lore, fgo general, and fgo English but there isn't a "I don't like FGO type of thread".

Whenever there's it's always in another thread lol but not in FGO.
