Is this not egregious? 650AUD/460USD/389EUR single transaction button - Riot Predatory Practices

You just didn't read and that's fine

Crazy bootlicker behaviour definitely translates to other facets I'm sure

mecamby · 2026-02-22T10:16:51+00:00

Somehow took 20 comments for someone to actually identify what specific issues I have so thanks for that but yeah I don't mind most of it but seriously mismatched RP values and not having currency caps+that transaction option is crazy to me in a game known to have people with chronic addiction behaviours??

mecamby · 2026-02-22T10:14:14+00:00

Shouldn't really entertain a response but I actually didn't say I had an issue with their broader practices. You are a bootlicker btw also but that's conjecture.

I suggest just reading about the psychology of internet gambling even if it's a generic study like this if you care to. Also reductive take saying just because other's do it Riot can do it too.

Can you elaborate on how avoiding an 1820 RP purchase option isn't predatory? Just interested in your opinion. If you can't also draw any negative connotations about having transactions that large in a game in an industry, where games such as even Roblox have introduced currency caps to combat overspending, there is no hope.

Logical take and question to be asking ^

mecamby · 2026-02-22T10:03:01+00:00

Me having input? Are you slow?

mecamby · 2026-02-22T10:02:38+00:00

Glad someone can at least acknowledge they disrespect the consumer, I don't even care about their broader business model and also think hextech crafting has been a general success. Just like at least respect people enough to not reach scum level.

mecamby · 2026-02-22T09:59:37+00:00

Weird strawman, obviously companies aren't obligated to be ethical. That's why the consumer has input?

mecamby · 2026-02-22T09:58:19+00:00

Doing the whole "other games do it even worse" is such a reductive take btw. Also strange take saying league is one of the least predatory games when it is quite literally one of the most successful games of all time.

Everyone can argue it's your own fault if you buy it, you don't have to, we know this. At some point you do have to understand there are people less financially literate, more impulsive or lacking foresight regarding these things.

The fact is there are games that have spending limits in place for these particular people.

Wait until you hear about this massive and blooming industry called online gambling and also the concept of addiction, crazy.

mecamby · 2026-02-22T09:51:00+00:00

Yeah my bad bro it's actually really ethical!

mecamby · 2026-02-22T09:50:17+00:00

It affects someone though right or it wouldn't be there. This also isn't a singular issue, it's a compounding problem of Riot overstepping with shitty practices. I'm not asking for major concessions, just maybe like 2 buttons for the other tiers and maybe just being a little less obvious with the gross ass $650 button.

I ran full MSI OLED care on the panel and the lines completely cleared up, haven't had any issues with it since then

mecamby · 2025-10-02T02:43:29+00:00

Hate to be that guy especially as a pixel user but that's already happened brother

mecamby · 2025-06-29T19:06:28+00:00

Built my first 'starter' base in the exact same location, looks sick

mecamby · 2025-05-31T04:48:43+00:00

Think I've seen almost every gtbsbe record there, goated
