But it DOES make it good business.
Except you never said that. You said it was a good IDEA, which it isn’t. Good business yes, good idea no.
Do you think Darkflow is a charity
Never said that, and this statement bares no correlation to our conversation at all.
Besides your argument was based on it being stupid.
Which it is.
As if only morons would do it.
I have no idea what you are referring to here. Morons do what? Good business? Good ideas? What do Morons do, you never said.
Ah I see, so me saying your view is false because it contradicts my beliefs is bad, but my view being false because it contradicts your beliefs is totally fine and not at all the same thing. If you want a Wikipedia link, here’s one for you: Hypocrisy - Wikipedia
I see, you don’t actually have a point so you have to get websites to argue for you. I do love how at first you went with trusted websites like Wikipedia, but then when you realised things didn’t fit your argument appropriately, you had to go to random sketchy websites to seem smart. Seeing as you like links so much, here’s another for you: Hyperbole Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com
we have seen nothing indicating it will or will not.
We are living on the same planet right? The planet where Darkflow announced the only way to get these squads would be to pay or to participate in the limited-time events? Everything we’ve seen points to “will not”.
“Every game has that.”
Here’s 4 Multiplayer Games that I can think of in 5 seconds that didn’t have any Limited Time content, that I can remember:
-Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
-Star Wars Battlefront II (2005).
-Ready or Not (2021).
-Halo 3 (2007) (non MC-Edition).
Do you notice how they’re all good games, all good games adored by their respective communities? The lack of shoving limited-time events down players’ throats probably helped.
Besides this is a FREE game. FREE. Furthermore, the content on offer is also FREE.
I am aware, which is why they do ridiculous amounts of monetisation already. There’s no way any of the squads they are charging $30 for should be $30, more like $5… but that’s a different topic which does relate to monetization, unlike this one.
You are essentially asking it to be MORE free.
No, I never asked for that. I asked for the Limited-Time events to not be separated in to mini-timed events but just be one big timed event. DarkFlow would lose nothing by this; they still keep the limited time events, but players get a little bit more freedom surrounding the event.
The real argument to make is to have events in the future that gives the opportunity to earn these things again. That’s a win win for everyone.
Well no, the real argument would be for them to stop doing these in the first place, that’d be a true win-win for everyone. This isn’t a practice which should be supported, it’s toxic and manipulative of their own players… this isn’t something you should be rooting for.

Anyways, I’m done with this conversation. At this point, you’re just making up an argument as you go along just so you have something to fight against. Nothing you are saying is having any correlation to what I’m saying at all, so there’s no point even trying to hold a proper conversation.
