Gamers are up in arms as greedy developers keep creating these games that require more and more expansion purchases and upgrades and many gamers are calling for boycotts at this new form of gambling. Video game developers are milking their top games as a cash cow and increasingly the continually rising debt of young gamers are having their pocketbooks take extreme hits. The video game industry of adding new content that needs to be purchased for new game experiences and gadgets within the game are drawing the ire of gamers like Perry Hoffman. Perry paid some seventy bucks for the game and was outraged he had to do many additional purchases for maps and upgrade weapons and he says this greed is just wrong.
Gamers are in fits as in game additions many often needed to progress and beat enemies, are being more and more included even in the console games as this fraud upon the part of developers was always a part of mobile gaming platforms and explains the sudden decline of popularity of actual people downloading game applications. many on-line gamers are quitting the scene because of these outrageous prices and to be competitive and the division between the have and have nots in this global economy is now being seen in gaming and many are claiming this industry is becoming part of the casinofication of the economy that only the system of global capitalism could produce such massive profiteering all while the same pushing many people out of this ecosystem through negative waves and pricing. Perry Hoffman is outraged and leading a viral and virtual boycott of Star Wars Battlefornt 2 and the last straw was that he had to purchase oxygen or fuel for Boba Fett to fly around and kill and couldn't compete with the limited unfunded kids of international Chinese and Indian kids of hedge fund fathers who could afford to purchase all the fuel their Boba Fett character needed to fly about on the game screen.
The most egregious form of gambling brought into video games has to do with our favorite Star Wars Battlefront--the only Star Wars related theme or object worth talking about-- and the Belgian Gaming commission is launching an investigation to how these video game developers are trying to push gambling in youths brains and hopefully pother countries will examine this new capitalistic scam of forcing gamers to pony up to be more successful and have a possibility to complete the fucking games that already cost them eighty dollars a pop.
