The point is: Marvel Heroes will have none of those things after December 31st either. It will be gone entirely while you can still play Ultimate Alliance.

This doesn’t really proof that much.

We have no hard proof that games would need to cost more without microtransactions.

That’s why you don’t pump ridiculous amounts like 300$ over the course of six months into an always-online free2play game whose reception could be described at “mixed” at best.

Terrible analogy. And the reasons have been given throughout the thread.

I am actually not poor, on the contrary, just disgusted by the route the industry is taking.

Correction: I was wrong about roster sizes. Marvel heroes has about 10 playable characters more than Ultimate Alliance 1.

I think you mean the second one? I can’t remember the first one having any sort of DLC. I might be wrong about this though.

Exactly. People like this are responsible for games no longer working like games but an assortment of content-locked chunks.

If you sink 400$ into a game like this you shouldn’t demand a refund, you should seek out help.

The strange thing is that it seems to be a given now that you have to keep your players from actually playing the game so that the keep playing the game.

Keep pushing! Maybe we can rid the premium game industry of this microtransaction cancer.

Cosmetics are still incentivizing you to buy randomized loot boxes with real money. THAT is the problem.

1. War in the North

/lie and /pushup ... no. 1 erp-emotes in every game that has them

Dragon’s Dogma allows for the best character creation you can have at the moment. In terms of “creating” a character from your imagination.

PW buys Runic Games,

EA closes Visceral because it developed a linear single player game that can’t be exploited as well as other game types... there is an uproar against this sort of trend ... Rockstar comes out telling everyone how they totally didn’t cast aside additional single-player content in favor of Shark Cards. Yeah fuck that.

Just keep microtransactions out of single player games ... and let’s try to push them back in multiplayer games as well while we are at it.

Yeah but the interesting aspect is that it’s developer approved, done with their input, went through their QA to ensure absolute integrity.
