Discussing art is as old as human civilization. It is one of its main purposes. 

How long is the campaign? I haven’t plays COD in years but they were usually pretty short. Weird choice to write a persuasive argument without finishing the text imo.

Given this games buggy history why would anyone pay for this on day 1? That’s not even a value judgement on the game itself. Just its literal objective history of server issues.

Harder for a publicly traded company to not try and make all the money. You have to show quarter over quarter growth or stock prices plummets. The natural conclusion is more and more mtx since game prices have stayed at 60 forever. That’s why Anthem can be a top 5 selling game and be a disappointment. With no more…

Crossing fingers that the delay is partially to remove the endless microtransactions they were surely would have done if Breakpoint had worked out.

Streaming may be new but it’s still the entertainment business. A lucky few will make it big and get the riches that come with fame. Most will grind out a living hoping to make enough to keep a roof over their heads.

At this point it’s the most dedicated fanboys who are left and Bethesda knows they will pay whatever is charged rather than admit a franchise they love made a bad game. When your self-identity is tied to corporate brands opening your wallet is therapy.

“Sure, I hate money” says corporations never.

At least they are being honest about waiting until the bulk of their sales are completed before telling you how they plan to nickel and dime you. Don’t want to spend 50 hours grinding for an attachment? Purchase this time saver!

You will never go broke taking advantage of the average Americans ignorance. These are the same people who will order a salad and smother it in ranch and cheese and call it a diet.

Crass comment aside we need more info on why the addition of a brother is an issue. Does this franchise have some deep and complicated lore that this additional family member breaks? Very confused.

Its possible that the casters got together after seeing what Blizzard did and erred on the safe side independent of Riot. Being brave is great and all but all of the people supporting you aren’t gonna pay your rent if you get fired.

Jeez Google. Just prepare for release and stop with the nonsense quotes. If it works than you don’t need to convince anyone with silly statements. If Stadia is going to be a success it wont be because of early adopters who bought the kool-aid and pre-ordered the special controller.

Even if the mtx are just cosmetic the sheer number of them instantly makes the initial 60 dollar purchase feel devalued. That’s before the “time savers” they pulled out of the game at the last minute. Don’t buy any game that gives you the option to spend more money to NOT play the game. Creating a problem in grind and…

People can point out a fault without being “mad”. Nothing in this article states anyone is grabbing the pitchforks. It is still possible to have adult conversations about complicated topics in current year.

I think for this cycle of The Console Wars I’ll be selling memes to both sides. I used to have a large pipeline to Nintendo but they bowed out after their conquest of Sega. Things haven’t been the same since. I’ve been scraping by on the Epic/Steam skirmish but those are small potatoes.

It’s the distracted boyfriend meme girl in the pic lol

If the history of live service games are any indication than they don’t either.

Is this a good starting point for someone with a casual familiarity with the x-men? 90's cartoon/00's movies.

Chihayafuru is the best sports anime. Prove me wrong.
