Are skinner box mechanics fundamentally opposed to the notion of game quality?

No. For example: Every single ARPG ever. They are definition skinner boxes but there are people adamantly defending THEIR box because they grew up in it.

I dont play ARPGs that much, what makes them skinner boxes?

Defending your abusive partner because your ego hinges on it doesn't make the relationship any less abusive and not in need of abolition.

Name 1 game that can not be considered a skinner box

You're incapable of even defining what "quality" means in this context. Cognitively functional adults in the globally capitalist society you hate so much define the "quality" of something as "how much money does this make?". Turns out, skinner box mechanics are the most accessible way to drive profit. Meanwhile, retarded children like you are in the same embarrassing shit-tier as "artists" who can't define what "art" is.

non-functioning adults do this too, just look at the weekly japan themed salesfag general

Bourgeois paid post.

>>725501242
Yeah, paid as in I have a job and can think and define a game's "quality" for myself instead of making schizoposts against the "bourgeois" boogeymen as you have.

>For myself
So you admit that you are literally the bourgeois. I rest my case.
>B-but I am just a mere normie who works hard
Petty bourgeoisie is still bourgeoisie.
