    Are the whales the ones complaining? Because the whole concept of a whale is that they are the exception. The vast majority of players pay only the minimum amount or slightly more, but the whales dump so much money in that they are still worth more to the devs than the other 99% of players combined.

      You’re right. The definition of a whale includes that he has enough money to not complain about any price at all.

      Except complaining is his kink… Then he gets double the satisfaction from his payments.

    At this time I’d like to shill for Warframe.

    The game is free. The battlepasses are free. The lootboxes are free. The ways you open those lootboxes are also free. The premium currency is a tradable item, so it is 100% viable to get it and buy premium shit without ever spending real money. Digital Extremes (the devs) once accidentally created a gambling machine (for pet cosmetics), and upon discovering what they did, removed it from the game and refunded everyone who spent money on it.

    Warframe is the one game that I’ve spent more money on than any other game, I’m not biased, you’re biased.

    EDIT: I’m glad that people around here like warframe.

      It’s just so difficult ro get back into it, I didn’t play for about 4 years because I got tired of playing on Ps4. Tried playing again when I could transfer my save to pc, but didn’t even know where to start again. There is too much to do, and little to no guidance.

        Hate to say this, but just restart. They revamped the “new player” experience and imo does a decent job of telling you where to go and getting you started. Once you get your bearing again, you might want to reclaim your old account or just stay where you are.

          Yeah, I considered restarting, but I really don’t want to start from scratch. If I have to start from zero I’d rather not play at all.

          if it’s been long enough, the game will just make you do the new player experience all over again even if you’re playing on an old account. Happened to me when I took a hiatus a while back.
