Damn, I was just thinking of giving SF another shot. Guess it wasn’t meant to be.
aw man, cant play this game it has optional paid content 😔
It’s funny how people will chant “vote with your wallet” but when someone votes against business practices they don’t agree with using their wallet they’re all surprised pikachu about it.
Charging per quest in a micro transaction scheme (which isn’t really micro at a $10 entry fee) is shitty and I don’t want to support it by pumping their gameplay numbers right after announcing it.
i agree. i also never picked up cyberpunk because of the same reason. also rock band or guitar hero for its hiding content behind paywalls. i just stop playing 99% of games actually
Fun fact: when you need to resort to hyperbole it’s a good indicator that your position may not have merit.
it's not that hyperbolic you're just on a hate train 😂😂😂
or do you really think not all games have paid content? especially the ones i mentioned?
I think there’s a very clear and distinctive difference between an upfront, honest cost for a content pack; and breaking that content pack into itty bitty bits and charging for each.
The latter has an obvious goal of obfuscating the total cost of the content pack, so as to inflate it past what their market research indicates people would normally be willing to pay.
It’s dishonest and anti-consumer, and it’s foolish as the consumer not to push back against this practice before it becomes normal.
i can see that definitely. but i also look at it at the way nearly every other game is already selling content like that but without the quest attached to it. i dont think its worth 7 bucks. too expensive. but i also dont think its a total outrage personally. then again i didnt even have to pay for it because i got 1000 free credit things. if i didnt get those, i wouldnt have bothered buying it
After the shit show of a release that was starfield, yeah, I'll avoid playing the game with optional paid content that reeks of greed.
You deserve the downvotes here, just wanted to make that clear.
why? please explain the reasoning
No.
i knew it. you had no reason. you just felt like being an asshole. i hope it brightened your day to post such a pointless comment 😃
I just want that sense of pride and accomplishment
