| Azzanation said: Stalker 2 would have had the NFT's regardless if it was day one on GP or not. The problem is games are getting more expensive to make and developers are seeing how much money other games like Fifa and mobile games rake in per year and are wondering, why cant they do the same. That's the source of the problem. A service where a company gets royalties for having their game added for a couple months isn't what convinces them to add in predatory business practices. |
Predatory business practices succeed on exposure rate. F2P, maximum exposure minimum expectations. Subscription service, big exposure, little expectations. Buy out right, smallest exposure, maximum expectations.
F2P made it easier to get the current loot box infested mess.
Subscriptions services also make it easier to add these kind of things.
The biggest complaints come from full price games adding MTX, is it not? F2P and to a lesser extent game on gamepass, often get a pass for adding more MTX (and possibly later NFTs) to the games.
The source of the problem is the race to the bottom when it comes to luring people in, then needing ways to pay for it all.
