You got my hopes up.
I don't wish Alex anything but a long life after a hopefully complete rehabilitation of his sociopsthic habits.
But I do have a nice drink set aside for my own enjoyment on the day that I'm convinced Alex will stop harming others.
I don't have any particularly strict rule about how I get convinced he is done hurting people. I suspect I'll see it in the obituaries rather than an op-ed. But I'm open to either.
Alex doesn't seem likely to fix his life, but he also looks like he doesn't cares well for his health...so I do have that drink near the front of the cabinet.
Oh well. My nice drink can wait. Maybe I'll open it to celebrate his reform yet. Like Alice, I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast.
I think Warframe is the only (non-open source) free to play game I have nice things to say about.
I never felt any pressure to pay, but every few months of playing and I would think, "I feel like I should chip these folks some cash, again".
And then they do make it fun to chuck them some money.
Most of the purchasables may as well just say "trust us, it's fun", for all I understood any of them before buying. (I think I bought maybe 4 frames while playing for about a year.)
After playing for awhile, I do trust them. I've not been disappointed with any purchased frame or item - with the understanding that both are pretty much just amusing "thank you" gimmicks for supporting.
Warframe has been a good time. I sort of expect it to enshitify at any moment, but for now they seem chill.
