Replying to If the game is otherwise free to play, I'm okay with them. But if you're spending close to $100 for a game, I don't think you should be spending the same amount for BP over the year.
At the same time, I’m wondering if I should skip MCA for now and spend the next 1–2 years seriously building my skills, working on projects, doing internships/freelancing, and trying to get my first job.
while I try to value things that are important to them simply because of that, they argue with me about whats important to me and try to discourage me from it if they don't agree.
