yup very true...
- more customer base, ever heard of economies of scale?
- better, cheaper game development technology / labour costs
- social media eliminates unnecessary marketing expenses
Leaving only greed/profit which unfortunately IS ALL EA cares about..
What's your point again??
Did EA need microtransactions in their games to become the giant corporation it is today?
If games are so expensive to make then how come they ALWAYS make HUGE profits every year?
Does the author or a family member/friend of the author work with/is/are associated with ea?
stupid articles like these are just that.. stupid
You just answered your own question, those games are FREE TO PLAY!!! they don't charge you $60 up front
waiting for those dumbfucks who have their lips stuck on EA's ass to comment on how gamers are just whiny and need to grow up and EA is not doing anything bad..
and yeah...
#FuckEA
best damn news i've heard this week
too bad for EA.. after shit canning visceral and their game, the mere thought of playing another EA game leaves my fingers numb.. I definitely don't have high hopes for this game in terms of immersive gameplay and story telling with this new focus on MTs and loot boxes.
Games don't need to cost an arm and a leg to make.. Ninja theory delivered hellblade on a budget that seems like chicken feed when compared to most AAA games and that game rocked.. EA/activision/ubisoft are just greedy plain and simple. Left to them, games should cost $100, cannot be bought/sold 2nd hand since they can't get any profit from it and players must buy every in game item to finish the game. Heck players must actually buy individual levels to progress in the game!! They don...
The interviewee says "We see more people playing fewer games for longer.". Of course when you fill the game with MTs and loot boxes wtf do you expect? What do Witcher 3, Horizon zero dawn, nioh, nier automata, PUBG have in common?? They don't have MTs and loot boxes!!! But players have sunk in more gameplay time in those games than most EA/ubisoft/activision games that only care about MTs and loot boxes.
Even though i'm not a fan of these kind of games, knowing that I don't have to depend on MTs to get certain stuff in the game, I just may buy this.. afterall almost ALL other games coming out between now and jan 2018 all seem to have MTs implemented 1 way or the other. Good job CAPCOM.
well just last week i believe bioware staff were posting pics on twitter about how they've reached a milestone and everything's going very well for the game, only to have the lead animator leave the studio. Hope this isn't another cancellation/studio closure in the making.
On the other hand, it seems the guy left since august? (According to the linkedin profile anyways).
with ea, i won't be surprised if it will probably be dlc
not getting it anyways so not bothered.
fuck the study and the "reporter" reporting it SMH
This!!!
If gamers would just stop giving ea, ubisoft and activision money then they'll definitely stop.. Sadly y'all be surprised ny the number of idiots out there that just keep dropping cash for mt items.
at least something good is coming out of this.. i hope it keeps dropping
sigh... people will do/say anything these days just to get their 15mins of fame
This reviewer is right on.. as an avid fan of 3rd person shooters, I literally deleted this game from my ps4 after finishing the free level, the shooting mechanic is so weak it's unbelievable. As for the melee combat, to say that i was shocked that the same developer of lords of shadow which had great melee combat, came out with such subpar combat mechanics in this game would be an understatement. Really disappointed with the game
good
As if we didn't know this already... sigh
it's all about greed with EA, everyone with common sense knew the sales alone would make the game profitable but that's not enough for EA, it's never enough with them
