Weaponizing the playerbase really rubs me the wrong way.

Open your eyes people! The rendering algorithm has just pulled the veil off our eyes and shattered the grand illusion. The Illuminati’s place of power is a 600 story building that’s big enough for planes to land on and Buckingham Palace is an old apartment building, always has been.

But Epic still sets the terms. If 2K said “actually, we’re not going to give you anything, we’ll sell our game via PayPal and still let players download from your servers,” do you think Epic would be fine and dandy with that? 

Tim Sweeney literally runs a game store. In which he collects a portion of all purchases before paying the remainder to publishers.

It always amazes me not matter what nastiness a publisher does, there’s always at least one person that defends it (not you, but the person you replied to). “Guys, it’s not that bad.”

Look, we created a different version, that is, well, it’s just the regular version, plus the DLC. But it’s different. I mean, it’s exactly the same in all ways, but we’re SAYING it’s different, ergo if you spent $100 on the game, haha, sucks to be you, and teaches YOU to buy our games in the first year. You should…

The ultimate edition is the same game.  Giving it a different SKU doesn’t make it a different game.  Especially not different than the digital deluxe edition that also came with the DLC.

Should of just came out and said, Sony gets him, and if you want to play as spiderman get a Ps4 or fuck off 🤔

I don’t see any reason to view this through a console war lens.  All the players in this industry should be roundly excoriated for anti-consumer behavior like purchased exclusivity.  It amounts to a legal bribe to hamstring your competitors rather than competing with them by offering a better service.  

Just say “Sony paid a lot of money to have Spider-Man exclusive to their system.”

But I really do think people will look at this and say, ‘Yeah, okay, we get that, we can understand the business behind that’

TL;DR: $$$

“Captain America throws his mighty shield, causing those who chose to oppose said shield to yield”

You’re fired

The boring, repetitive gameplay had me wary enough to wait for the game to go on sale.

I know it never got a lot of love outside of the small dedicated fanbase, but I deeply miss Marvel Heroes.

Those can both be problems.

Both things suck

Sony. Doesn’t. Own. Spider-Man. This idea is a disease at this point.

How is this anti-consumer?
