I genuinely don’t know: If a player signs a deal in the off-season and is cut in the preseason, do they not get paid at all? I understand that the payment schedule is based on game checks, but players have to get paid for pre-season, right? 

Ninja Robot Pirate already explained it, but any excuse to post Rev X is one that I’ll take:

Yes, you’re correct, the first game is more generous because it includes the full content in the price of purchase. I’ve stated it in previous comments, but I’ll restate it again: You’re confusing content with generosity. They are entirely different spectrums that do not overlap. 8-bit Atari games are more generous…

I can’t be the only one that remembers the viral attempt at professional tag. Just look at this shit:

This feels fruitless, as we will not agree. The start of your last paragraph as “This doesn’t make a game less generous” is just flat out wrong to me. The encouragement to spend more after purchase hits me as less generous by definition. We just have a philosophical difference there, I suppose.

Saying a game is good or is a solid value for the money is not relevant to saying it’s generous. Again, I’m sure it’s a great game. There are simply mechanisms in place that encourage the player to spend additional monies after purchase of the game, making it less generous than games without such mechanisms.

Bingo.  It sucks that they said it, and it also sucks that they’re probably right. 

The agreement of the owners and the players on the CBA matters because your originally proposed “The solution is for the team to pay him” is an oversimplified under-reaction to the problem. The problem isn’t between this owner and this player; it’s a problem with the agreement between all owners and all players (the…

I think you agreed with me by saying “Fine” and then proceeded to talk about a different topic entirely.

Fair criticism! Though, that factor impacts both non-100% options, so it’s likely a wash. 

Exactly. It’s simple stats. In the NFL, you’re 9% responsible for the play (1 person to your 10 professional teammates). In the NBA, you’re 20%. In the MLB, you’re 100%.

How many employees are we talking, I wonder?  If it’s like 1-2, I can understand that happening without anyone realizing it’s not properly inclusive, but if it’s 15-20, that’s an egregious oversight. 

It’s the NFL for exactly this reason. If I have 10 other professional players working with me, that’s a lot on my side, even if I’m a block of tofu. Statistically, I’m only 9% responsible for the outcome of that play. Give me unlimited tries, my professional teammates will perform well enough for me to accomplish the t…

Can this receive a wifi signal and then put out a wifi signal of its own? I’m thinking of using it in cases of staying in a hotel or something that has restrictions on its router use. I could have really used such a thing in annoyingly restrictive European hostels.

You’re confusing “full of content” with “generous”. The game that has less content but is 100% included in the cost of purchase is inherently more generous than the game that has more content, if you have to pay additional monies to access that content. Full stop. Excitebike for NES is more generous than NBA 2k20,…

Can you name some other kinds of correct?

I got greyed for disagreeing with Dan, though I’m not sure who did it. I just complained that he posted the Jeopardy James results before the episode aired, which I thought was a pretty soft thing for which to be greyed. I was genuinely bummed though and stand by my complaints.

Wait, what does hitting a home run have to do with being an outfielder? Those are literally opposite tasks in baseball, as you could never be batting while also being in the outfield.

Can you back up the statement of it being the most generous game you’ve ever seen? If you go back to even just the 2k games prior to like 2k15*, there were zero micro-transactions. A game that you pay for once and have access to all content will always, forever, by definition, be more generous than a game that…
