Also, if they did release ONLY Halo 4 just with 1080p 60fps at $50 on Xbox One, yes I would be against it. But Halo 4 is not the focus of MCC.

Anyways, great game, great sales, of course they'll want to maximize the profit. Everybody does this in the industry, and it pretty short time frames as well, so why bother criticizing only when it's TLOU GOTY ? :)


Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 had "GotY Editions" 4-5 years later, at 20$ MSRP... about the same price as used.

Its not "everybody".


Are you REALLY going to pick on words ? Anyways, the vast majority of publishers do this in the industry. There, better ?

Sony is a company, and a company is supposed to make profit. You got a successful product ? Make as much money as you can off of it.

 

Is TLOU GOTY on PS3 forced on us ? Nope.

Who is it targeted to ? People who didn't play the game on PS3, and people who are going to buy a PS3 this Holiday season.

But what about the ones who already bought a version of the game ? Well, they already played it, so why would they buy it again ?

What's the problem, then ? Well, you tell me.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

My post has nothing to do with it being a GOTY edition. But since you wanna talk about that, GOTY editions usually come out around a year after release depending on the amount of DLC. Which is what I thought the PS4 version was handling since that's the usual time for that type of release. Here, Sony is doing that twice at seperate times of the year to not take focus from either one while being able to sell one during Christmas time at full price while the other one sells during the summer drought. Its milking at its finest. Sell the same game at 3 different times within a year and a half to make as much profit as possible from it being "new". I figured Sony wouldn't do this since so many people saw TLOU: R as a GOTY edition but I guess I was wrong. You have to admit this is the first time something like THIS has happened.

The TLOU: R is a GOTY edition for PS4 owners. TLOU: Goty Edition is for PS3 owners. 

And this is not the first time it is happening. Halo 4 is the same, yet you are proudly saying that you are buying it. You should be against it out of principle.


I've already responded to a Halo 4 comment. Just read that.

Your original comment don't have a single reference to the launch timeframes. You were talking about something different. When you understood that your original argument didn't have any merit, you started talking about them.

Corporate cheerleading.

Doesn't matter what the vast majority do... especially in this day and age when the vast majority treat consumers like magpies and throw shinnies at them designed to drain every last penny. See: EA, Ubisoft, Acti, etc.

Oh, come on... Of couuuurse...

 

Seriously, they are only going to put a less expensive version of the game with more content on the shelves. What's the matter ?

Are you complaining when a 1-2 years old game is still on sale in stores ? No.

Well, why complain when a better value version of the same game is made available ?

 

I really don't understand it.

 

Also, I absolutely LOVE how you purposefully omitted the last half of my post.

But... But... Sony is milking consumers ! :(

Sony should just port it to the 360 and One and be done with it.

I'm not sure that would be a good idea.

So, then again, why complaining about this when nobody batted an eye for AC 4 Jackdaw Edition ? Why complain about this when nobody said anything about Halo 4 GOTY, Dishonored GOTY, Borderlands 1/2 GOTY, Batman Arkham Asylum/City, Civilization V, Forza 5 GOTY, Fallout 3 GOTY, Red Dead Redemption GOTY, etc... ?

 

I'm not exactly saying you're wrong, but a lot of people here seem to know when to protest.
