what the hell? the thread title should clearly be about Rubin's crazy ideas rather than a random Pachter quote.

this was one weird episode. after loving Rubin in episode 1 i heartedly disagreed with him in episode 2

Shane, who i hardly ever like, seemed to be able to read my mind and say exactly what i wnated to say.


Also i wanna say that i now officially love michael Pachter, he is a frikiin legend


Rubin: 'one parent has the money to sen their kid to soccer camp and you dont, is that fair? no

Pachter:'is it fair that i have my job when everyone watching knows more about the industry than I do? no!'


best quote of the entire thing

You do realize that Rubin had the best ideas of bunch right?

how were his ideas the best?  

 

people should be rewarded for putting time into the game not for having more money. the COD players would hate it. The enjoyment from getting the prestieige emblem is that you can show how good you are at the game and how dedicated you are. how would those players feel i suddenly people didnt have to put in all that work, they could just pay money.

 

systems like the one used in farmville only work when the means to the coal is boring. people play farmville to get the satisfaction of being successful, they do not play because they enjoy clicking things. same in WoW, getting gold is boring which is why  people are willing to pay to skip it. 

 

Whats the point in CoD.  in WoW paying money gives you better equipment and allows you to do more quests and instances. in CoD, paying to get to pretiegie level doesnt give you any thing new, your're still playing the same same maps but now you have an emblem. Also how would this work on single player games?

 

 

please explain why you think his ideas are the best and who they asre the best for
