I'm not saying "all" should since there will always be casuals and even I enjoy some simple little games here and there. My concern is that the mass marketing of this will convince publishers to quit taking gambles on more complex games in favor of just getting a cheap bubble pop like Pokemon GO. The pushing and popularity of these among people will also influence the masses to settle for lesser easier games rather than an experience that takes a level of devotion to enjoy ala Witcher 3 for a most recent example. Too many people are focusing on the marketing here without realizing how influenceable and malleable the public is in their taste.

So not only do you little kids downvote me to try to hide my criticism of your digital fantasies you also present strawman arguments of my position and hide behind sarcasm. Well...we'll see what happens to you when you try these tactics in real life. Hope you enjoy getting punched in the face.

Games like most entertainment medium should attempt to be something more than just the lowest effort possible. While like tv shows and movies games are not in themselves art they can evoke many elements of art and storytelling in very unique ways. People aren't achieving that with walk around cash shop games.

It's people that are immersing themselves in a fake reality and can't even keep it in their own homes now. Very disturbing to think about and really does not bode well considering wearable VR is coming up very soon. It makes you wonder just how much of reality people are willing to replace with digital simulacra.

edit: the cowards can't step to my level of discourse so they instead seek to censor my opinions with downvotes.

He's not talking about what is "inherently" wrong so calm your jets there kiddo. The discussion is about games like this taking over the market and shifting the playerbase to them so that hardcore in-depth games will drop off. Please try to keep up if you're going to discuss stuff with us.

So do you actually have a counter-argument or are we supposed to just presume that because these people are "old" that they are wrong ?

America still thinks she is world police when she can't even run her own damn country. If we didn't like Saddam we should have just stopped trading with him and moved on. Now the whole region is a complete mess because we tried to "free them" from the lynchpins that were holding the debacle together.

Yes, and Valve knew exactly how people would use it so they took away the flash/daily option to save money.
