It’s worth noting that this endeavor is only targeting virtual currencies that can be purchased with real money.

Looks like my 22 Trillion dollar Payday 2 vault is safe :)

Now I wonder how narrow the definition of currency is, as it would be easy to skirt such a law by replacing the currency with a barter/trade, voucher, or card system.

You didn’t address a single point I made.

You don’t even know what a strawman is.

You aren’t even participating in this conversation in good faith.

You’re literally being triggered into making an aggressive post because of your inability to control your own emotions and think rationally.

This is a very typical hollow response of a juvenile. You really are telling people a LOT about yourself by they way you’ve replied. Yelling strawman and providing absolutely nothing of substance isn’t proving any sort of point.

I remember laughing my ass off seeing the Call of Duty skin of Lilith (from Diablo 4) holding an AK-47.

First off,

“How can you wish a company to fail simply because they do not cater to you or that the produce does not please you is beyond me.”

This isn’t the reason people want Ubisoft to fail. Far from it, in fact. People want Ubi to fail because of how the company has conducted itself and how bad their products have declined. Wanting a company to fail because they make a bad product is a perfectly valid viewpoint. In fact, it is the very essence of how a free market should work. Bad things failing is a good thing.

Next,

“We are all on the same boat, please please please, stop spreading hate, we should all uplift each other instead of bringing each other down,”

No, there is no “WE”. There is “YOU” and everyone else. Chassard, the Monetization Director, above all else, does not have the players’ best interest in mind. His very existence means that elements of fun will be locked behind a purchase. He is the literal enemy in this scenario, so no, we are not on the same side. And nothing he has or ever will do as a monetization director is uplifting in any way.

I agree with you that the headline is poorly worded, but Chassard’s statement is still total bullshit in my opinion.

I thought Konami abandoned the video gaming industry to focus on their spa and pachinko/slot machine divisions. What studio do they even have to develop a game like this?
