| Topic | Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions |

At least the concept behind MMO subscriptions is that you're paying for a persistent, constantly evolving world which pertains to keeping things fresh for the playerbase. Wut? That's what these microtransactions are paying for! TheCurseX2 posted... With most games these days that have microtransactions or those cancerous lootboxes, you're paying to fast track your way through the dull portions and get to the very brief 'meat' of the game. It promotes money whales, preys on impatience, and rewards the company for creating a really fundamentally s*** game. Ok? Sea of Thieves is entirely cosmetic though. Other games are bad so Sea of Thieves is bad isn't an argument. TheCurseX2 posted... The cosmetics in Sea of Thieves should be what they would've been if this game came out in the mid 2000s: unlockables attained by discovery, overcoming a challenge, or something else that makes the player actually engage the game. Sea of Thieves isn't a traditional mid 2000's game. It's a Games as a Service title. It's not a game popped out for $60 with some balance patches and nothing else. It's not a game that will have a sequel in two years. It's a game that Rare intends to support with additional content for years. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard! |
