What is this 4000% profit margin nonsense? Is this some of the OP busted math based on his experience in WCW/nWo Revenge Create-A-Wrestler? lol Spending $10 on a skin in a $60 title makes sense if you play the game enough that the $10 investment is warranted. It doesn't really matter how much a game costs, if you enjoy it and the developer puts out a skin you think looks good, then buy it or don't. There's nothing wrong with either scenario at face value. Sales mentioned it in Gears 5, a full featured title that already comes with loads of skins and content. So yeah, that's not an issue. However, a game like Evolve launching with little content and barely any skins charging money for extra skins, yeah that's an issue, and gamers collectively told 2k Games to fuck off there. It's not black and white. You said sales is getting nickle and dimed. That's a negative, don't try to spin or backpedal out of that comment. Your belief that he is being nickle and dimed is surely irrelevant to him and comes from a position of pure ignorance on your end, because you don't know how much he has played Gears 5 or how much money he has. You see it as a person playing a game with microtransactions spending money while you're sitting there with your 12 hour or whatever you said SP game that you bought on sale and you thumb your nose up at him but there's nothing wrong with it. I'm glad you value your time over money, idk who doesn't. And no, it isn't a bad practice, lol. People can spend their money however they want. If a game can keep someone interested for years and the devs keep releasing content that people support, how in the world can that be a bad thing lol. |
What profit margin do you want to use? Please give us one that is sourced since you are mocking a lot the one he made from his experience.
Of course it is negative, companies doing these practices are nick and dimming customers. Sure ignore he was the one touting he having the superior experience by saving up front to attack the other point, as you always do "defend when something comes from one corner even if that was after similar came from the other".
And I'm glad you understood the point that you previously tried to put in reverse.
