Lol if you consider p2p gambling then perhaps you should close yourself off from reality so it doesnt 'harm" you. It is no more gambling than buying a car is gambling. When you buy it, what you see is what you get, but you may also spend a vast amount more on it to make it exactly what you want.
This is a theory spouted by a weak minded, out of touch fool that obvious is just hoping for some click bait.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
they are often called gambling boxes.. never heard anyone talk about pay to play in the same way though
I had fun once, it was terrible.
The premise of the audio only 'video' is as follows.
Konami makes game applications, slot machines and some other stuff.
Konami intends to focus much of their future game development on mobile platforms.
Konami will fund and profit from that development by using a pay to play model.
Konami's pay to play model will focus on gating content behind pay to play walls instead of purchasing virtual items.
Casinos not owned by Konami include some slot machines manufactured by Konami.
Konami's ultimate goal is to get all of the people who purchase their mobile pay to play games to get off their collective asses and drive to remote non-Konami owned casinos in order to gamble only on slot machines made by Konami.
No, he's not. He's an internet blogger who thinks he knows what he's talking about. Pay to play does not follow the gambling model. He's drawing connections between two entirely separate concepts and trying to fabricate a conspiracy theory around Konami to make himself look like a genius to his online followers.
He's a moron.
Maybe right now by law it is not considered gambling but it is the same mechanism that happens in your brain. Doesn't matter if the reward you crave is virtual or real. You go through the same thought process.
Regarding the topic, I didn't get how this is related to pay to play model for MMOs. In the video he says "pay as you play" which is different.
Paying bills is also linked to gambling....
Oh wait.
Gambling is paying for lockboxes that never give you what you want. A real waste of money if you ask me.
EDIT: and Fck Konami. They dont make video games anymore. They are stinky turds. Im glad Kojima and Igarashi are not part of them anymore.
Real money for an RNG payoff? ofc it is gambling...
But that isn't how all PTW games work, with set amounts you can guarantee your prize. Still, I suspect some people go way beyond their means to achieve certain prizes. The result is the same then.
2 different concepts.
-RNG boxes are a form of gambling, but they don't have to be p2w items as prizes. you could theoretically have rng boxes that give out cosmetics only and could still be considered gambling. An example would be PoE's Saint Patrick's day green mystery box that gave out random green cosmetics...but most of the time you got frog pets.
-p2w is actually the opposite of gambling. its in essence paying money to reduce/remove RNG to the point that you have an absolute advantage. it would be like playing poker with $50,000 against an opponent with $500 and neither player being aloud to leave until someone goes bust.....statistics say person A would win.
Hi, Magi! I remember you!
How are those gambling ads coming along?
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
RNG boxes work exactly like a casino's slot machines. Player adds money, plays the RNG game, and the outcome is either an increase/decrease in credits. The only difference is a Casino has a " cash out " option.
IMHO, I don't see how there can be any less people that gamble for entertainment as there is that open RNG boxes.
RNG boxes are like casino slot machines but there same mechanics as in game RNG system like boss drop, or dungeon drops, is why people keep doing a dungeon over and over or raid over and over when that chance something will drop is 1% even if the replay value pretty much dead after 20 hours doing same thing, but people get use to a RNG system, and enjoy it even if it cost them there job or money, just one big addiction. Just seem more entertainment for people spend trying there luck with a bad system should not be in any game, not the way it set up now, to keep people in the game longer, when there other ways.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
....Tell that to the RMT'ers...As long as things won in RGN are not bound to whoever won it,you can trade for money....so..yeah.......
