Is Zenimax's upcoming MMO too expensive to play? We do the math and consider its place in the current market.
Microsoft are telling the world that the sooner we all switch to using generative AI tools in our day-to-day lives, the sooner we will 10x ourselves. Yet the corporation are still only finding haphazard pick up by videogame developers, including some of their own studios.
Good, I hate the Idea of these corporations trying to put people out of work. I honestly think we need to all start speaking up on the issue before things start getting bad.
I agree but we also need to do that with other corporations. Not just in gaming. But I also fell that its inevitable because its all about the bottom line which is the almighty dollar.
What happens when people are out of jobs because of AI and robots being capable of doing the work of a human in less time and with out breaks. How will the corporations make money when the ordinary man is jobless and cashless unable to buy what the corporations are selling. How will it affect the corporations bottom line when they themselves put the working force out of work.
Trying to type fast before my phone resets.
well if we all feel its inevitable then it will be. I agree its just not about gaming, but its a good place to start.
Brand new footage from Xbox and Zenimax Online's canceled sci-fi MMORPG, titled Project Blackbird, has been leaked.
"Nothing is off the table right now."
If it were F2P...it would be "pay to win" bogged down by a ton of microtransactions. This is why P2P is the better model. Everything is covered in the cost of a P2P model...plus, it supports the developers with maintenance, patches, DLC, expansions and so on.
Now...I understand there is a percentage of people who prefer F2P and there is an equal percentage of people who prefer P2P. I personally prefer P2P MMO's. Those who are diehards, will pay the sub to play. Those who dont like paying subs, wont. That doesnt mean the game will bomb or fail. It splits the community between those who are serious about playing the game, at the cost of a sub...and those who arent.
Make no mistake about it. People WILL pay to play this game. For how long, depends on how good the game is...and whether or not Bethesda can keep it's popularity rolling with hot momentum. Im anxious to see how well this game does, TBH. I've waited a LONG time to see a developer rise up with an MMO that would destroy WoW. Maybe ESO will be the one....
Played it yesterday. Got into beta. So far I'm very unimpressed. I'm a huge Elder Scrolls Fan, been playing it since the very first one. I've also played tons of b2p, subscription based and free mmos. While graphically ESO looks quite good, everything else seem just like all other mmos. Sorry Bethesda...I really wanted to like this game enough to buy it but it just won't happen. Huge price for a full game and then subscription is just too much for a game that brings nothing new to the table.
