How do you, as a gamer, view the concept of "power-money transactions"? A so-called "power-money transaction" refers to users gaining certain special privileges in a game after paying a fee.
The gaming privileges I understand are rights that surpass those of regular gamers. However, many game operators treat these gaming privileges as a way to make money, profiting by selling these privileges. It’s understandable that businessmen aim for profit and there is nothing wrong with making money ethically. But if granting these privileges harms the interests of ordinary players, then the operator will end up losing more than they gain.
Game operators classify gaming privileges into several types, such as preferential purchases or double experience points. However, today we are talking about the so-called "free T human rights." Personally, I despise all gaming privileges offered by game operators, considering them akin to power-money transactions. If national laws and regulations explicitly prohibit "power-money transactions," can the relevant operational policies of games be exempt from these legal constraints? From the perspective of rights and obligations, does enjoying the "free T human rights" simply require paying various fees? Isn't this a naked power-money transaction?
Let's take a step back and assume that this kind of power-money transaction is legal. But remember the saying: "If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes." If someone merely uses their privilege to boast, then at least they're harmless, like a clean official. But if such power falls into the hands of a bully, the consequences could be disastrous. No one wants to be oppressed by such people and such power, so the best strategy might be to run away. This applies not only in real society but also in games.
As a game operator, one should consider this issue: when providing gaming privileges to users, will it affect the interests of other ordinary users? What obligations do gamers with such privileges have? Is this kind of gaming privilege beneficial to the healthy development of the game?
