I have noticed many people expressing concern about the morally dubious tactics Fatshark is using to brainwash people into buying their things. As such, i have taken it upon myself to create this simple guide designed to help you keep your hard-earned birthday/christmas money in your pockets, and out of the evil, sneaky hands of Fatshark.

If i never read this guide I would be in the cash shop this exact moment spending all my money away.....infact im seeing sales all over steam right now and honestly im glad i saved my money on cosmetics that have 0 impact on game play to buy games with game play."

  I hope it will at least prevent such awful tragedies in the future. Amazing work."

• Malus says: Sadly Steam thinks I've only a single hand. That hand has given you a thumbs up, however.

This first step is the most important and the most reliable. This step utilizes a technical loophole which was overlooked by Fatshark. It turns out you can actually completely ignore the cash shop! It's rushed implementation resulted in you, as the player, having the option to never open or interact with the cash shop at all! It turns out its actually completely impossible to buy something without first opening the shop menu. You can exploit Fatshark's blunder to be 100% certain you will never buy anything from their twisted shop.

The vast majority of readers will not need anything past the first step, but sometimes unexpected situations can occur. Perhaps you opened the shop on accident. Maybe you were unable to resist the urge to interact with something you don't like or agree with. Whatever the case, there is still a guaranteed way to solve the unfortunate situation that resulted in the opening of the shop and walk away with no money spent. All you have to do at this step is proceed to close the shop menu!

If you find yourself failing both step 1 and 2, you are in some serious trouble! You've fallen prey to the insidious allure of Slaneesh Fatshark's premium cosmetics. But don't lose hope just yet, there is still something you can do to prevent Fatshark from robbing you blind! What I'm about to share with you are incredibly complex and difficult psychoanalysis techniques that would normally be very hard to understand. Luckily for you, I managed to distill them down into an easily understood and simple to follow flow chart. Follow these steps before you make any final decisions!

If all the previous steps were unable to prevent the unthinkable; I'm sorry. My guide has failed you. All you can do now is adapt to your new life in the shadow of Fatshark's malevolent manipulations. I can, however, recommend some actions to take to help prevent such a tragedy from repeating itself.

The first possibility is to give control of your finances to a trusted individual, be they family member or a hired professional. Just make sure they are at least somewhat more responsible than you are.

Another option is to consider moving to a country like North Korea. There you will have the freedom to make regrettable mistakes such as this one conveniently stripped from you, along with many other pesky and potentially overwhelming liberties.

I sincerely hope this simple guide was able to provide you with some crucial tools to keep your funds where you want them. Additional resources will likely continue to be provided in the comments by resident hero of the people, WSkD.
