| Burning Typhoon said: Updated thread title, since people don't seem to understand what I was intending to discuss. Everything has gone up in price. Specifically, the development in digital entertainment... I mean, look at the movies, and games, etc. Much more expensive today. However, for the most part, game prices haven't moved all that much... So, is DLC rather on or off the disc all that bad? (if it's content they want to charge you for, they're charging you for it, regardless of where it is stored and storing it on the disc has more advantages than DLing it.) Some people aren't willing to pay for a 90 dollar game. We know everything costs more. So, apart from the bad, shoddy DLC that everyone and their mother knows is absolutely terrible, is DLC as a whole really all that bad? Should studios release the definitive editions of games with everything intended for DLC at a premium price at day one to off-set the higher and higher costs of development? |
I believe studios and publishers should stop the arms race and focus on innovation over flash. Yes, Uncharted 4 will look like a damn movie but will it innovate the industry like say... Minecraft? Costs wouldn't be an issue if they thought that way.
Small teams+less flash=cheaper games.
