When I say "convenience" for example I really do mean JUST convenience. I'll reserve actual judgement for when things become actually available for me to evaluate.īut in principle, I'm 100% fine with both cosmetic/convenience MTX and with season passes - as long as they're done right. So many babies with so little understanding of simple concepts like overhead costs.

No one with a functioning brain didn't see that coming.īut lets look at WoW, you used to have to pay $15 a month to play, now you can play for free using in game gold to buy tokens. I am 100% sure all the crying he is doing is over Diablo Immortal, which is a mobile game meant to be nothing but a disgusting cash grab because people who play those kinds of trash games spend money on them like mad. If they need to have a battle pass to make the game profitable then so be it.Īnd this guys hate for blizzards monetization is actually really stupid. Businesses are finally giving out proper cost of living raises, including Blizzard, they have at least 4 years of R&D to pay for that's already out of pocket. Electricity prices are inflating faster than ever before. So what? The game has a box price? What's your point? Do you think a one time fee to access the game forever will pay the upkeep on the servers forever? Are any of you that stupid you think that? Because if so do yourselves a favor and just go back to elementary school and start over. Let them make all that cosmetic money off the morons willing to pay for that crap all so they "look cool". I'm happily playing more Hades, DOOM Eternal, and No Man's Sky, lately, which are totally different genres.īut also interesting - Platinum, an ingame currency used for buying - you guessed it, ingame cosmetics.So what? Cosmetics? Who the fuck cares besides the poor people that wanna look like special little snowflakes? I hope they offer a hundred times the cosmetic options on their store than even the most pessimistic of people think they will. FF 14 has been a breath of fresh air and while I'm playing less lately, I cannot complain about the game. Square Enix are the only ones I cannot fault right now. Really, ever since they sold most of their company to Tencent Gaming. I like what I am seeing with next week's league launch, but I need to see it for more than one expansion/league in a row, and GGG has a bad track record right now. I refuse to support them heading into PoE 2, if they keep it up. I should add, in the ARPG space right now, I've refused to give GGG any money for any of their supporter packs for years because I've not felt like they've really done anything truly good for the game since 2020. Between this and Dragonflight, I thoroughly believe they've learned nothing.

how can we hold Blizzard in the same about anything with other companies right now? I had hoped maybe they were going to be humble for once and put out something decent and in a show of decency, not ask the world for it.īoy, I was wrong. After everything over the past few years between shit expansion after turd expansion, lawsuit, WC3 Reforged.

Though, I do think Blizzard is the most offensive about it right now. Best thing to do is to tell them all to go fuck themselves instead of "Hurr durr company x"Oh, I agree.

No gaming company, regardless of it being AAA or that lovely little Indie darling gives a shit about any of us, all they care about is how to get every $,£,Euro,Whatever from our pockets into theirs. Every gaming company big or small is doing this and this needs to be a "refuse to buy anything" instead of "Look at company x". Everyone who acts as if this is a blizzard thing are not seeing the big picture and are just doing it to pile on blizzard. It's not just blizzard that needs to be humbled though.
