I hate the social media sharing bullshit that games ask you to do these days. I don't want my friends to know I'm playing an embarrassingly stupid game at 3am or during work. I like my twitter followers too much to subject them to a worthless advertisement. Once you start telling me that I need to rate your app, post on facebook, or share on twitter I promptly stop playing your game. My time and my friends are more valuable to me than any entertainment I could possibly get from your game. If you make an exceptional game, people will play it and pay for it, with or without "Like on Facebook to get next achievement." That's low and cheating and makes me lose respect for you. Have some balls and don't do what every other stupid developer is doing. Hopefully you'll get noticed for that.
Respect for game companies is a big thing for me. I absolutely love Rockstar because they've made consistently fantastic, immersive, sometimes revolutionary games. And I know each wing is basically a different company, but I'm extremely disappointed by the system in place with GTA online. Microtransactions, social media accounts. It just reminds me that all the company cares about is how much $$$ I can give them.
This is slightly off topic but boy that didn't work for me. I can do a simple race and get 2500 RP, use none of my ammo, and get ten grand, OR I can do a mission, get 800 RP, 500 bucks, have to use my own ammo which has to be replaced, and nine times out of ten be forced to do it on my own because no one else wants to play them. And then there are the missions I love that I'll get to play once a week since you don't get to actually choose what you play.
For real, who are these people that want every one to know how and when they while away the slow hours. I play some niche, nerdy browser games. I want no one but the friends I play with to even suspect what kind of boring shit I use to pass the time. I know my wife suspects that I'm almost as nerdy as she is but she isn't going to find out because my shit isn't linked to facebook.
