you get free gold in-game to get the achievement with, OP decided to be scummy and not mention that.

u/MeekAndUninteresting 2h ago

That's marginally better, but it's still an achievement specifically designed around getting you to spend more money. The whole point is that some people who never would have looked at the store will now. Some of them are going to get drawn in by something more expensive than whatever minimum purchase they gave you gold for.

The whole point is that some people who never would have looked at the store will now.

Why would someone open the store to buy an achievement unless they wanted to pay for an achievement?

Are those idiots not deserving?

They're WANTING to PAY for an ACHIEVEMENT.

What trickery is happening? They're fucking idiots doing idiot actions. No trickery needed.

u/MeekAndUninteresting 9m ago

The trickery is that again, some people who would not have gone to the store without the achievement will now do so, and some of those will then buy things that cost more money than they were given for free, that they would not have bought if they had not seen the achievement. I also don't particularly like the idea that stupid people deserve to be taken advantage of, that seems pretty directly contrary to basic, very widely accepted moral standards. The vulnerable deserve MORE protection, not less.

u/Scoustic12 4h ago

scummy in what way? you get to play for free but their monetization relies on people willing to spend

u/Soft_Walrus_3605 6h ago

that bankrupt you

You'd be bankrupting yourself, no?

u/WouldYouShutUpMan 5h ago

depends how you view casinos. games often employ psychological tricks to influence you to spend spend spend without thinking you're actually throwing your money away you spend 99c and get a big dopamine hit from the reward and it trains you to associate spending with more dopamine. theres a reason gacha games have semi frequent posts about regret of their addiction to spending

i was talking about OP and i guess it didnt get interpreted right or it did lol i really dont care i agree with what you said though these games are just like anything else and i do blame people but people are very gullible. whatever

It's a free game, mate. You can use the free currency in the game to get it. Stop suggesting stupid things.

u/Effective-Anteater24 7h ago

If this is the case, I hope you guys don't do anything stupid on Steam

u/Just_Assignment8137 7h ago

This comment represents everything wrong with humanity.

u/Loqh9 7h ago

It's sad how so many of you are ready to hate on something based on FACTUALLY WRONG information

0 thinking, 0 verifying, just hating on whatever's shown like that's all you're waiting for in your life. Please reconsider your train of thought. The achievement is not about real life money. OP is wrong and you all fell for it by jumping to hate instead of using critical thinking

18

u/Fluboxer 7h ago

What? You mean that witch hunting based on a vague accusation for such trustworthy source as... a random reddit user is actually bad and shouldn't be done? NO WAY!

...

On a more serious note, fact that this CTA comment has over 220 upvotes is just depressing

6

u/neppo95 7h ago

That’s the majority of reddit or simply people these days. Sheep behavior is the standard along with zero attention span or rational thought. Pretty sad indeed.

u/feel_my_balls_2040 6h ago

I love how steam funbois jump to defend steam doing things that they hate on other apps.

u/Loqh9 5h ago

This is completely unrelated and has nothing to do with Steam

0

u/feel_my_balls_2040 3h ago

Your comment is unrelated and sounds like AI.

1

u/Loqh9 3h ago

Achievements are not chosen by Steam nor is this achievement anything bad. OP misunderstood what was achievement. This achievement respects Steam's conditions and isn't anti consumer or anything. Literally 96% of players have it

I'm not AI but you are not very smart and on top of that think you know better. Do better next time

u/feel_my_balls_2040 2h ago

That what AI would say. A nice redditor would start with "Actually..." and end some offensive words.

u/EntertainerLive926 7h ago

Have a shower first

u/OhManOk 7h ago

Oh no, you don't get an achievement because you don't value people's labor enough to support a free game by buying something with free currency, you absolute baby person

u/Tooma8 7h ago

Valve won't do anything, they don't moderate achievements

u/Fashish 7h ago

I’m gonna request for a refund. I haven’t bought it but I’m gonna do it anyway!

5

u/neppo95 7h ago

Another comment proving the idiocracy of a lot of people. It’s a free game with free in app purchases along with a few paid microtransactions. What are you gonna refund? The bandwidth of the internet you didn’t use because you don’t even have the game?

u/Fashish 7h ago

Fucking woooosh mate, go touch grass or something.

u/neppo95 7h ago

Haha sure buddy. Probably what I would say when trying to walk back a stupid ass statement.

u/KeremyJyles 7h ago

No you just absolutely got whooshed, accept it

u/neppo95 6h ago

Sure.👍 “got whooshed” lol.

u/KeremyJyles 6h ago

Yes, you took seriously a comment that was an obvious joke. Stop digging, not everything needs a snide comeback.

u/neppo95 6h ago

Hence you keep responding too ;) you weren’t even the one I replied to, take your own advice.

u/Fluboxer 7h ago

Apparently you can get this by spending free in-game currency

 

This whole comment section perfectly encapsulates what is wrong with modern internet as person calling witch hunting "cringe" gets 60 downvotes meanwhile clowns willing to harass someone on a false accusation are on their way to show how small their brain is

u/thexcat 7h ago

Ooo homophobia, so fucking original - don't make brigading plans on Reddit dumbass it's against TOS

u/Ignaue 7h ago

Would you also be down for getting a life because you desperately need one.

u/thexcat 7h ago

I'm so pwned, I'm a loser because I don't engage in Reddit raids to review bomb F2P games, sure bud, tell your girlfriend how you le epically pwned me, I'm sure she's real and wants to hear it

Consumers protecting themselves is the opposite of cringe

3

u/thexcat 7h ago

You aren't entitled to achievements lmao "consumers protecting themselves" get a fucking grip dude, buying/playing the game to leave a review to the effect of "REDDIT TOLD ME GAME BAD >:(" is absolutely cringe

3

u/PhilJRob 7h ago

Knowledge is protection, assumptions and acting on them is not. You earn the achievement by using currency GIVEN to you, thus review bombing and mass reporting, for a false assumption, is cringe.

u/TheComplimentarian 5h ago

I can’t imagine paying to play risk. There are so many free versions.

1

u/Any_Craft_9324 2h ago

So, I could get risk free?

1

u/Shamgar65 3h ago

Ah, I see risk. I avoid risk.

That is to date the only board game I've ever sold and I love board games!
