In my opinion that’s a pretty generous list of reasons to buy a game without much further questioning or research. I think the last game I almost immediately bought ~10 minutes after hearing about it was YOMI Hustle for $5 in May of last year.
That said, looking through my purchase history I can tell you that the amount I have spent on Warframe, a F2P game, is vile.
Certainly. I don’t think I ever watched or played it, but I remember young me pronouncing it “zack-see-oh zack-see-oh” every time it came up, which was a lot because I lived on Flash games.
Imagine going to take a shower to relax and instead seeing this.
Instagram differs from Reddit in the sense that most people use Instagram because that’s where their friends and family are. You’re posting more personal things there. An alternative doesn’t really work for most users if no one they know is using it. Good luck with the push, though.
Hot take: the web should not be more human.
And I’m pretty progressive on technological matters. There should still be a clear separation, though.
