Example of how as soon as an awesome classic PC game goes freemium mobile it turns into a piece of fucking shit.

It doesn't take long for this guy to go apeshit and I don't blame him.

Well, yes - Dungeon Keeper is a particularly horrible example of the freemium phenomenon.





But that's not a new problem. Very few free-to-play games are anything more than a scam, designed to squeeze cash out of vulnerable people, like children.

Quid is pound as much as buck is dollar. At least that's how I understand it.
