So...those "fruit" clicker games.

[PMR]

Valve gonna do anything about those anytime soon? they seem like schemes of some sort, if not a scam
Where people "play" them in hopes of getting drops to sell for profit, wonder if it could be classified as gambling, albeit free gambling (unless you pay for one and hope it goes up in value)

Interesting thing you accuse me of.
I haven't profited from it at all actually. And even if I did, it would be in the range of a couple of cents.

But again, I didn't. If you just don't feel like having a constructive discussion and just throw around accusations just say so.

They had a simple idea and it worked out. Instead of being envious you could just say they had a good idea - good for them.

You accuse me of being envious with no proof?
Would you be envious of someone reselling water bottles 50 percent increase in profit? No you'd think its scummy.
My gripe is not the money they have made purely, it is how this crap fills up the steam game store and how it has next to no value for a game.
And yes you DO have bias even if you haven't sold anything, you have partaken in the "game" you have put items up for sale, theses are not accusations, these are true.

These aren't water bottles. These are images of bananas you get for free.

If you don't like it, don't use it. Nobody is forcing you to.

Yes, your problem is them making money and you aren't.
And yes, saying I profited from this game in any way is an accusation, a wrong one at that.

okay then let me change my stance
You have the potential to profit from the game, is that better?

It's not really better, it actually makes even less sense since literally every Steam user has the potential for that.

The cases being actual gambling of course, unlike the Banana "game".

[( ( < < <🤖> > > ) )]

i played Clicker Heroes for thousands of hours which is a bit more involved
than banana... but not much difference than banana....

ch had cards i sold them... and would of sold more if they dropped more...

banana just seems to have streamlined the process and given you more to sell
on the market without doing much....


lazy game makers terrible game makers delusional game makers....

and now we have sophisticated begging game makers.... yay..... great world...


steam has made me a lazy game shopper.... i cant be bothered sorting through
all the trash anymore.... its fatiguing to see so much of it.... yay.... good onya steam....

Why would Valve do something? The games don't violate anything, so what's the issue? Just ignore them, I do that too.

Keep in mind that "I don't like it" isn't actually a compelling reason for others to take action. Neither is using "scam" as substitute for said "I don't like it".

Also keep in mind that "copycat" games have been part of gaming since forever.

I suppose that's an option, if i wanted to be cynical i could say it is in valves best interest as a business to leave them alone since they profit off community market sales
however i will make a list of just of some of the "games" in this category that have been put on steam recently so people can see just how bad it's gotten if they haven't looked

Yes, they all saw a way to profit and try to get in on it. It has been this way since always. Not just on Steam.


And again, you can just ignore them. They dont hurt you, and nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to play them.

Give it a few months or so and nobody will remember they even existed.

In a sense yeah
kind of like talking about how a building covered in sewage is advertising it, hahaha.

[Chelle]

Agree, but it matters not.
Why?
Take a look, the 'Defenders of The Preposterous 'shall soon be filling each box in defiance of anyone who poses a rational debate/ argument/ posit.

Anything even remotely detrimental to commonsense shall be fumigated by the hordes of idiocy.
Anyway, I'm off to bed, nite, ''click.''

I know you think you're joking, but you seriously underestimate how often people buy or play games that get mentioned in threads like these. You are actually freely advertising those games and getting people to play them.

Heck, a while ago there was a thread from a person complaining about Lewdapocalypse as example of "♥♥♥♥♥♥ porn games". Nearly the whole thread bought the game because of it.
Same with other games.

I think that's ridiculous though to put the fault of that on the person posting them
discussion of any game is advertisement? when i am literally framing them as something negative to be avoided?
I mean you are correct in the sense of advertising being "any discussion that brings attention to something" but saying it today has the common meaning of "you are promoting this" even if that's not what you meant, but you know that yeah?
Should we remove links to any games then since it could result in people buying/playing them?
Should we just say the title and only people who search them out will know about them?
Ridiculous.
