| IcaroRibeiro said: Both are good I guess. I hope neither cease to exist anytime soon, I don't often spend many time in the same game so game as product are what I like the most. They are usually more polished and better designed as well. But this comparison is ultimately pointless if we are comparing single player campaign, as Game as a Service rely much more in multiplayer side of the business without a very clear goal and set of missions to beat Hence I will make my assertions based only on games with heavy online features, multiplayer focus and regular updates with missions and events: Games as a Service are much better from a consumer standpoint - When the game is a product you buy it and if you dont like you lose your money and that's about it - When the game is a service you pay just as long you want to enjoy the game or you just dont pay anything at all if you don't want to To start, most Game as a Service are mostly ""free"" to play Service games are more likely to keep getting updates and so on. And if if you become tired of Game as Services due to its "infinite" nature you can just download another other game for a very small price or even without paying anything. For people who are low on cash it means you don't need to expect another paycheck before getting something new If a game is intended to be multiplayer heavy and is sold as a 60 USD finished product and then flops I guess you can say goodbye to your money (right ARMS?). That's exactly the reason I haven't bought Crash Team Reacing yet. It's a game that I like mostly from multiplayer and I don't want to pay full price in a game that I will need to spend my day to find a single online match. The lack of new tracks and characters annoys me as well, I'd rather get this game for free to increase the userbase and then fill it with MTX I don't see the problem with MTX you can just don't pay for it if you don't want it. But a fucking multiplayer game that is a true desert that nobody plays? That's annoys me much much more than any MTX And you are talking about Smash. What exactly is good about smash? Paying 30 USD to get what 2 new characters a year? Yikes |
A new Smash fighter costs $5.99 each. Considering that many games ask $10 for a simple skin, I'd say that's a good deal, and fair pricing.
