Of course. Yet first line you claim somehow EGM == Nintendo Power.

Nintendo Power was first party. EGM was just a fucking magazine that covered gaming. How the fuck did they have anything to do with Konami is beyond me.

And then you go on strawmanning and throwing more false equivalencies around, and yet claim to be serious.

You cannot be this dense. Of course you are trolling

Do I have that right? You don't want gambling marketed to kids, right?

Yet you have no problem with a game whose object is to murder your opponent, being marketed to kids. Shoot your opponent dead with a gun kids, but don't touch slot machines.

Aren't you a little embarrassed at the irony of that?
This small thing, in the actual case of battlefront.

And also this small thing, in regards to NFS Payback

And this one, with more blood and killing

Do you spot a difference?




Fun fact: none of these games tell prospective buyers upfront about having micropayments nor lootboxes. Like opening a cracker jack box.


I will leave it up to you to guess which has which.



P.S.

Kids, gambling


Now I'm truly done.
