And what the hell is all this pay-to-win microtransaction crap? Life's devs should change their business model.
It just makes the game more realistic. After all, IRL you can almost always pay your way out of a situation if you have the coin and the connections.
I think you've misread the comment. DaFranker is already talking about RL.
It is entirely possible that I might be confused.
I read "Life" to be a reference to a game played while immersed in, and as an escape from Real Life(tm), and this confusion comes from the term "microtransation", which is rather hard-linked in my skull to "micropayments", aka "the millicent ghetto"
In the version of Real Life I am playing microtransations don't get you out of much of anything worth getting into in the first place.
