Here is my point. Game companies can and will try many different things to earn that little extra cash for games, we as consumers vote with our dollars. If the game doesn't meet the required fun for the price and features, then it will fail and then game company will go and either do something better, refine the price to feature point or go under. I do not get wound up over this stuff probably because I have played games since pong. Everything is an evolution and only the strong survive. |
No offence dude but he has a point people used your argument back when microtransactions and such were new now the industry is infested by them, I've been gaming since the 80s so your strong survive argument has no real context here because for example during our time things like costumes and such were extras already in the game to unlock through playing. The's making money but then the is charging for basics, these companies have things like costume packs and all that before launch to charge for yet back in the days when you and me first started these costumes were free in the game.
This isn't evolution mate this is down right trying their luck, you say people should vote with their wallets right well people only found out when they already bought the game the was no such indication before hand the company has already made their money by now. Like him or not Jim Sterling has a point about the industry.
