Problem to the Solution
Alright, you get a Salone story.

When I was a small child, there was a game in Computer class called Dino Park Tycoon. Standard tycoon game, although you ran a park where you bought and cared for dinosaurs. Now this was the 90's, and dinosaurs were still totally radical. I start playing and slowly learning my way through the management series that all Tycoon games are.

Well in the list of dinosaurs you could buy, there was one very special dinosaur...called the Vegasaurus. In fact, here he is.

Now he was expensive. Ridiculously expensive. $25,000, when the next most expensive dinosaurs were in the $7000-$9000 range.

I had to have him.

We only had computer class once a week, so it took me several weeks/a few months to get the money for him. I recorded information, gauged how much money I was making based off of various ads, cut corners with park security to save money, everything I could possibly do to save that next dollar up for my beloved Vegasaurus.

Finally the day comes where I hit that glorious $25000 mark. I click on it to buy it, joy in my heart.

Now the thing about the dinosaur buying page is that the dinosaurs are displayed in little egg nests, with a tray cart that zips along on a track underneath. Tray stops, egg is dumped in to it, and the tray zips it along to your park.

So I click 'Buy', it takes my money, the tray zips along...and it stops just short of the nest for the Vegasaurus egg. The nest tips the egg...and splatters it on the floor. A sign pops up in the nest that says 'NOW EXTINCT'.

I was devastated. I had to go to the counselor's office. I turned off the game and I never played again.

Who does that? Who does that to a child? Who makes a game for children and puts that much hatred in to a game to unleash it upon an innocent youth?

Anyway yeah aside from that heartache it's a decent game and you might like it.

Awwwe. It's like in Ephemeral Fantasia, this guy hatches eggs for you and you get cute chickens that fight with you. Nobody told me that when they died they didn't come back though ;~; then you could go look at their RIP screens. It was so sad.

Tycoon games can be fun and they haven't really changed all that much for decades.

I'm really sorry for your trauma Salone. I even googled it and you're right, there is just no way to get that little dinosaur.

The ever amazing cap'n obvious
Oh my gosh, that is the most cruel thing I've heard in a long time. T_T What kind of monster puts that into a game for kids?

Well there are several other games that trolls their users.
It's quite common actually but often it's either very obvious or well hidden.
