DLC is more common and controversial than ever. But are we really getting mad at the right things?
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
Fallout 4 on Switch 2 offers 30fps, 40fps, and 60fps modes, with graphics settings differing from PS4 and PS5 versions.
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
Thats not a bad idea to discount the price of DLC for early adopters once the complete edition drops which is usually a year later. So if you bought the game within the 1st 2 months of release you would get a 25% discount on all of the DLC. That discount would always be there so if you time it right, you could get the DLC at an even cheaper price if they have a sale on it.
I don't mind DLC to some extent. It's just that the majority of DLC I've ever picked up has either been way too short, for example the Harley Quinn DLC for Batman Arkham City. And other times the DLC isn't even good.
I'm fine with DLC like what GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption has done. I'm even cool with some map packs here and there. I think season passes are the big problem, especially when some draw in the $50 price tag and don't really give out much.
