I think that’s implied in his saying. It’s like, “I do this for my grandson, because my son can’t do it as well.”

Oh? You want to mute XxUm4DBr01xX? Buy 5 mute passes for $.99 today only!!

No, Blizzard of all people knows there’s almost no demand for legacy servers. Look at this project, the people only managed to steal $2000 because that was all that was donated. People flock to these servers because they can play the game for free, not because it’s got old, rusted content.

By placing people in maps where their purchased weapons are most useful, though, they’re making sure that people who pay for premium weapons are going to excel more in the game than people who don’t. On average, people who don’t pay will be matched online in a less advantageous way than those who give in to…

Just the latest reminder that money-grubbing has gone off the rails in the videogame industry.

Holy shit, this is beyond the pale. What the FUCK. I can’t even put into coherent thoughts how fucking disgusted this makes me, or the profound sadness it brings me to find myself, while revolted, not at all surprised that this is a thing. Actually, I think I’m more sad than anything. Sad that this is what it has come…

If I had a nickel for the number of times I’ve heard “just ignore it, you don’t need to buy them, they literally don’t affect the game at all” :\

I need to get a new hobby, one that doesn’t involve micro transactions and dlc.

To all microtransactions apologists : FUCK YOU.

IF ONLY we lived in a world (or country really) that gave enough of a shit to step in and regulate this bullshit, but no.

Just the latest reminder that microtransactions aren’t separate from the game. They can be central to the game itself, in mechanics designed to trigger further purchases.

Sorry anyone who believes anything that Bungie says at this point deserves to be put into a patented matchmaking system designed to make you spend more money.

So... they’ve got a patent on making me not want to play their games.

What I read, was that I play one of their games, and i get put up against bullshit pay to win players, until I decide to never play the game again, thus killing that franchise for me indefinitely. What I saw was that if it happens within the first two hours, that i’ll be asking for a refund.

Omfg, “Turn games into a slot machine”.

It killed the “flow” of the game, since it was ingrained into the gameplay too much. The strange idea behind having to pick minerals, or whatever name they used (can’t really remember), seemed a little out of place.

In its current form, it was shaping up to be a story-based, linear adventure game. Throughout the development process, we have been testing the game concept with players, listening to the feedback about what and how they want to play, and closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace. It has become clear…

They killed Dead Space with their stupid micro-transactions, and now we will probably never see a new game from that franchise.

that guy looks exactly how i picture most trumpsters
