Think they are using 8th Edition stuff so not slaves of Nagash I think. Except for Arkhan the Black of course the rest are for aligned with anything but Nagash. They aren’t vampiric undead.

I’m aware of the words I typed. The concerning part is you seem to have culled a meaning from those words that doesn’t exist. Again, you don’t seem mentally mature enough to understand the nuance of words and how they work.

That’s not emotional growth, it’s self-satisfaction disguised as empathy. The two are night and day. This is why American society is so troubled: we have weaponized and commercialized everything, including feelings. Kyle wasn’t looking to help people, he was looking to give himself the rush of being in control.…

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought the Kyle stuff in this episode seemed like a direct response to the renewed criticism of the show’s tone in the wake of Trump’s election, including the AV Club’s own “South Park raised a generation of trolls” piece that got passed around a lot. The references to T+P’s nihlism, the…

In fact, it’s possible that games are cheaper than ever to make now, because of better tools and tutorials available to everyone. Just look at the fact that steam has 6,000 games released on Steam this year as proof of how widely available these things are.

Well I think that’s the thing, for a lot of these games it does alter gameplay, and I think the reason it does so is because the way they’ve budgeted these titles is at a $60 buy-in with a tail based on microtransactions. They are collecting data to show them how much to expect in microtransactions as they keep…

Right, it wasn’t even that long ago that the price got “set” at $60 by, I think, Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision drawing a line at that price around the launch of the Xbox 360.

“Concerning themselves” is certainly a jump from being curious about market trends and their cause & effect. Nobody’s concerned about EA’s profits. But simply labeling the entire trend of DLC/microtransactions/games as a service as corporations being greedy and nothing else is being willfully ignorant and hurting the…

No,

Devs will need to increase the upfront cost of games to a higher dollar value.

Am I the only one who would rather they just raise the release price of games by ten dollars rather than hobble the games and infuse them with microtransactions, loot boxes, etc.?

I’m shocked at how long the price of major video game releases has remained at $60. Back in the NES days I believe a new release game went for $50, so the price of games has not kept up with inflation even as the cost to produce them has grown exponentially.

Most companies actually count on most people not putting very much money into F2P games. They count on whales, the small minority that put TONS of money into the game, to make them most of their money.

While this isn’t news or anything, thank you. It’s important this keeps being said by voices that can be heard.

After the lootbox and pay to win nature of the unlocks I won’t. I heard about it and changed my mind about a purchase just as I did with Shadows of War and CoD WWII.

As happy as I am to see them get downvoted into oblivion, I’m a pessimist - this game will still sell millions of copies.

“just don’t reward the predatory parts of it that ask for additional money.”

Interesting thought. Well, there was Metrobius, actor and longtime lover of Sulla the Dictator in Republican Rome. But he seemed to escape bad press from writers of the time and since. Justinian’s wife Theodora on the other hand was vilified for being a child circus performer for centuries. She apparantly didn’t care…

You should prepare yourself to be mighty annoyed

So, I don’t know if I’m misunderstanding # 3, but...
