That's what I get for sleeping on the latest from the "smartest man in games", the Top G of game monetization, brainfried ultralibertarian and big time simp / pick me for scummy VCs, game execs and proponent of the most bankrupt, outdated and self-defeating monetization practices possible - Phillip "I'd lootbox my child's allowance if I could" Black. I was initially going to say this glorious quote speaks for itself on this man's general incompetence and really look forward to a similar admission from him about his way more smoothbrained takes on Web3, Nintendo F2P, game industry labor economics, Live Ops monetization, hypercasual, monetising every single aspect of a game as aggressively as possible and everything else he's been "hilariously wrong" about. Instead this post which was completely out of character by having some measure of self-awareness, sincerity and even gasp criticism of Supercell is now nuked and replaced with the usual meaningless word soup in the typical many words to say nothing list of features with zero insight Deconstructor of Fun / Naavik laundry list style of deconstruction.
