Considering that this is a South Korean game originally released in 2019, I’d say just let Asians be Asians and hope that it’s successful enough internationally for their next game or sequel to be released simultaneously and contain all the necessary positive changes you feel is needed to make it more in tune with…
My stance in piracy has always been clear. if you like it, you buy it. If you can’t buy it, I’m not encouraging you to steal it but if you do steal it know that you’re just a minuscule part of the whole enchilada that is the video game industry and you’re not wholly responsible for a huge multibillion dollar company’s…
See? This is the kind of shit that (eventually) drove people to pirate Nintendo games.
Look, I don’t know what to tell you. If you sell a product that, not counting the R& D and marketing, cost more to manufacture and distribute than its retail value, you will lose money no matter what. That’s why it makes no sense even if you expect to get the money back through software sales. That’s just way too…
Out of curiosity, do you know what ‘being sold at a loss’ here means? All consoles are initially sold at a loss due to the huge amount of overhead cost in research and development, but this gap will soon decrease thanks to the amount of consoles and games sold within its life cycle. However, it doesn’t necessarily…
Come on, it’s simple math. Let’s say a console cost $5 to make and you sell it for $4. If it doesn’t sell, you lose $5. If it sells you only lose $1. These consoles that got modded and sold to weaker markets were already produced. Whether sales of those modded consoles influenced the manufacturers to either increase…
You explained that to me three times, and I understood you the first time. What I asked was, wouldn’t they lose MORE money if they sell less consoles?
But wouldn’t they lose more money by not selling any consoles?
Bless your heart. :)
Eps. 1 was... okay, Duel of The Fates and Darth Maul vs Obi Wan totally saved the whole movie. The Last Jedi is the very reason I don’t watch Eps. IX so I guess I owe that much to Rian Johnson.
Sure but as I said we’re talking about very weak markets. The PS2 wouldn’t have made a fraction of the amount of units sold in Southeast Asia without the modchips. A sale is a sale as opposed to no sale at all.
I don’t know, how about better support for the gaming community that they cater to, better service, better games, localization, overall better experience in using their products etc. I used to have a PS4 and decided not to jailbreak it. I trade games I finished for new ones to save money, but there’s that sense of…
Probably because its concept of alternate worlds and recruitable characters are too similar with CT to ignore. But yeah, CC does kind of feel like one of those ‘spiritual successor’ games created by those guys from the old company who started their own kickstarter project.
Trigger needs a remake. Cross is... fine, but a remaster should suffice. It doesn’t age that badly.
It’s nice especially if you only collect Nintendo consoles and games, but somewhat unnecessary for me since I can always just load up a Playstation emulator to play my old copy.
Oh it’s ALL about the Peaches. $65 millions worth of it.
I can’t help but think that this Bowser guy is the modern Martyr Saint of Videogames.
Okay that may be pushing it, but ironically piracy help sell more consoles in otherwise very weak markets like Southeast Asia and Brazil. I doubt that the modchip operation will cease since China as usual would take over production…
This seem improbable but for once I kinda agree with a Kotaku article. The ‘it belongs in a museum’ cliche is stupid because the only reason the west even have museums is because colonialism needed some place to flex their loot. Which I guess is on brand with any AD&D campaign?
Haven’t watched this person’s content in a long while, but strangely Jim’s coming out does not surprise me one bit.
