When is Blizzard going to realize Skinner boxes are an awful way to try to keep players playing their games? Pic not related
>>

They must be good because the game keeps getting more and more users
>>
Once it stops actually working.

I know what a skinner box, an invention by the psychologist B.F. Skinner, is but I'm not sure what you mean by this.
>>
>>383542996
well they're more like a half skinner box, since they can only reward players but not punish them
>>
>>383542854
>>383542875
Well considering how much their players spike up when new content is released and spikes down shortly after I think it doesn't really work
>>
>>383543139
yeah of course rewarding the playerbase for continuing to play will work due to positive reinforcement
but what is OP trying to say?
that eventually the new overwatch whales will wise up and learn to drop blizz like every older gamer had already done before them?
>>
>>383543352
all expansions have done that. fpbp.
face it /v/. you're out of touch.
>>
Says you. The money speaks for itself
>>
>>383542770
If it works is it still awful?

It's not FAIR bros!
I wasted my fucking 20s killing big dumb lizards and have nothing to show for it!

>>383543352
Sounds like money to me. Show me a game that doesn't spike and ill show you lies
