It's amazing how addictive VS is without being predatory or manipulative. The feedback loop to play one more game is solid, in the best way.

So it's just refreshing that Galante actually has principles enough to stay away from micro transactions. I hope we're at the point where more developers move away from that - I feel like after the 2000s and 2010s, where game monetization went full nihilistic capitalism, we're all ready for a change.
