It is always extremely concerning when the head of a corporation starts using words like "transformative"
I'm preaching to people who think I'm talking utter shit? You clearly do not have your finger on the pulse in this forum. Read the threads about microtransactions. For the most part, I'm preaching to the choir.You are talking to a generation of people who know no different, you are preaching to people who think you are talking utter shit as they do not understand what you are saying, it is all they know
And i can probably give you a little bit of info on why the game is doing shit, it was because the first game was not very good, you can blame it on microtransactions all you like 'Einstein'....its a fucking shit game....
You think the majority of 10-17 year olds who play the games read internet forums and take notice of what is said......you do not have children(and probably never will)
Me and my sons all bought the first one, and gave up on it pretty quickly because the game was pretty bad compared to other online games, not because of the transactions element, but because the game was poor, which is why people are not purchasing this

The hollow experience of the first game (which is parcel to this microtransaction drip-drip-nickel-and-dime scheme) feeds into why this game isn't selling well, but in fact, the early access had a record participation far beyond the first, so you're waxing condescending while making an ass of yourself, here. No, quite obviously, it had nothing to do with the previous game, or that base wouldn't have grown. Something happened between the early access release and the official launch announcement that changed how the public felt about playing the game.
What, oh what could it be? Hmmmm....
I do. One would expect a reader to have extrapolated this from the fact I specifically qualified that audience in reference.Yeah, you do realise you are posting in a fighting forum?
Except that the public at large is who isn't buying the game.So the general consensus probably is not very indicative to the general public at large
Wow, the crux of that point went over your head, entirely.And i'm pretty sure you could get early access without actually buying the game...infact i know, i had it, and didn't bother

If anything, I think this will encourage piracy.
Thanks, Generation Retard.
Next up:
"Games are a very costly endeavor for any developer, and a lot of times, it's just not cost effective to release complete games. This is why we are moving towards a more fragmented release model. It's also exciting news for gamers, as their favorite titles will now have new, and expansive content every six months. We really believe this decision is the best one for developers and gamers."
Reminds me of an email I got from Ebay about how they were raising fees and how that is great news for buyers for sellers alike. What condescending corporate bullshit.
Oh. I'm not even against purchasable content in theory, but it was so clear that the entire game was designed around incentivizing people to buy things rather than earn them through gameplay.

Hopefully with this regulation or possible outright banning of loot boxes now catching steam in Australia, France, Belgium and the US this is the tipping point, that greedy, predatory mega corps. like EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Take Two aren't so keen on microtransactions in there games any more.
They won't go away but regulation is the key here.
Not a fan of the government getting involved in this. Maybe forcing them to give refunds in cases where kids stole CC's or something like that otherwise leave it a lone. The gaming market has done a great job of putting companies like this in their place on their own. That one game Evolution got massive media out cry for their DLC and Star Warrs\EA has as well. Disney had to get on them because they didn't like all the negative press surrounding Star Wars.
