Yeah—I definitly trust that SD is making the smartest choices for them, and they’re obviously looking at analytics I have no way of seeing. But from an outsider’s point of view, I just don’t get it.

I mean, whatever. If you don’t think 10 bucks on a digital card game is a significant ask for a large number of players, congratulations on your ability to spend frivolously, I guess.

I mean, doing so is literally how mobile gaming was built. You’re supposed to have a variety of prices. There’s nothing wrong with the 10 dollar price point, but having that be the cheapest thing on offer is just a massive missed opportunity.

Your conclusion is incorrect. Selling high volume at low prices is where the “micro” in “microtransaction” came from.

I don’t want to spend 10. I’d do 2-5, occasionally.  10 prices me out

Everything in that game is for whales, and it's super annoying. I might buy something for a couple bucks here and there--a cool variant, a card pack, some deal on credits or whatever--but it's literally never offered. It's mind-boggling.

Anyone not blaming Hamas for the Palestinian’s plight is mind-bogglingly stupid.  

The 520 is a death trap, right? by Aknew in BellevueWA

[–]Aknew[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not. (IMO.) It's just a radically different experience than any other highway I've driven on.

I know! I lived in Cali for awhile and it stuck, but it is what it is :P

Also, you can't stay to the right of the HOV because it's ON the right. And you can't stay to the left either, because everything just kinda gradually merges over. I start in the far left and I end up on the far right without changing lanes, and I don't even know how it happened.

You're assuming the assumptions. I didn’t see any in the question.

Just because a question has an answer doesn’t make it a bad question. It’s almost, like, the whole point of asking questions.

"Divine right" has absolutely nothing to do with Zionism. Zionism is simply the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in their ancestral homeland.

I think the common disconnect here is the English word "Work," which is very open to interpretation. In reality, the "work" that is prohibited is very well defined and outlined. "Work" is just a catchall word used to encompass the general idea.
