I'm looking forward to Dreams but as soon as games start being sold within it is the day it dies. If they want to implement the ability to donate to the creators of a level that's fine but all out purchasing would be the wrong move. Just look at what happened on Steam and you'll see the issues that come up where people could end up creating something where the majority of the assets used were created by other people and someone else is making money of it.

I can't say hes made a bad game but people have put him on a pedestal. It is worth pointing out that when you look at pre-release hype for his most recent games that three of them did not live up to the hype that was behind them. I think that the controversy MR 👏 HIDEO 👏 KOJIMA 👏 had with Konami has kinda raised peoples opinion of him (although I'd say that's more than fair); however, that should not translate into hype for ...
When has MR 👏 HIDEO 👏 KOJIMA 👏 ever released a game that didn't live up to expectations? ʕ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°ʔ
Games or anime? If we're talking the shows you're correct, but if you're talking games then you're out of your mind.
@Uptownsoul
To address point number one matchmaking is handled by the developers servers. Why am I paying Sony and not them to access those servers? Also didn't realise less downtime is a feature.
Your second point is easily countered by just pointing to the free games EGS offers, humble bundle and Steam sales. It's almost like not having everything under a single roof allows for there to be multiple places to choose from simultaneously. Hasn'...
It's okay. While I'd say it wasn't entirely clear that you were making that point I apologise for misunderstanding.
I'm actually kinda surprised Minecraft couldn't accomplish this.
"Read between the linesssss"
There's only one line...
GOG has been pro-consumer; EGS in most cases has not. If you need me to elaborate on just how much EGS has done wrong then you're clearly not in a position to be making any analysis on who deserves to be supported.
@uptownsoul
What does Sony, MS and Nintendo provide via their paid for service that is better than what is made available for free on PC? There isn't one feature that's unique or better than what is available for free on the PC.
"Your suggestion is a MILLION times worse than what these companies are doing…This isn't North Korea"
It was sarcasm. I'm making a jab against people demanding the banning of loot boxes...
"And when that finally happenss, what will PC gamers do? At this point I am surprised it hasn’t happened yet... but never say never."
You forget what happened when Ms started charging? I was on PC and no one was having it and effectively ignored the service entirely and MS was forced to offer it for free. So PC gamers did oppose MS and won.
Turns out that Playstation fans despite (rightfully) criticizing MS for an entire generation were actually...
Steam and GOG are not platforms; they're storefronts.
"So you expect the servers that support 80+ million users to be entirely free?"
Yes. They were free last gen so they can be free this gen and for the next.
"How exactly are they suppose to afford to keep expanding, upgrading, and keep the servers running?"
Sony does not run 3rd party games servers.
"I agree but there’s nothing we can do about it but accept it and move on."
"They also use the money to keep the servers running and likely spend some on R&D."
That's it little Jin. Open wide for Sony lol.
Look at you defending paying for a feature that was free last gen. There is only 1 reason you should ever subscribe to PS+ and it's if you want to play a game currently available through the service or because paying for a month would save you more money with one of the PS+ exclusive deals. Locking multipl...
Gonna resubscribe soon to replay all the Sly, R&C and Disagaea games available. Do a bit of trophy hunting while I'm at it too!
Unfortunately we actually had an opportunity to prevent this from happening at the start of this generation. We all rightfully pointed out how XBL at the time was not worth the price when compared to PSN which was free. But then once current gen rolled around MS was hated enough that no one was willing to actually oppose anything negative Sony was introducing with the PS4. Once it became clear PS+ was going to lock multiplayer behind a paywall the response was "well it's a good deal ...
You say that but M&K is objectively better than a controller for shooters. If Halo MCC has crossplay it's going to be open season for the console users.
Partly false I'm afraid. World of Tanks actually does have Loot Boxes.
"I believe MS has a minimum requirement for physical releases and Sony and Nintendo do not. I'm not one for these "limited run" type of releases. To me, they are no different than those outfits who make repros of other peoples work and sell them."
Yes that's what I'm referencing thank you for adding clarity.
I actually like them because I enjoy having a physical copy even If I already purchased the game digitally and it'...
I gave the solution. Everything is made available for free, but you can have a donate button for creators. Anyone in favor of the community being able to set a price for things made in game is basically requesting that this games sole selling point become micro-transactions.
