Topic	Jim Sterling now whining about Sea of Thieves microtransactions
Darmik 02/14/18 7:05:27 PM #25:	TheCurseX2 posted... Cool, it's a really s*ty MMO then is what you're defending. Again if you're not interested in the game why do you care what model it uses? TheCurseX2 posted... The whole "it's just cosmetic" argument is fing trash and people should stop jumping on it as some ethical blessing that has been bestowed upon them. This being multiplayer centric doubles that point home, what is the one thing that will distinguish someone from another in any online game? If you said "how they look" then you're a quick learner. Cosmetics matter a lot, looking good matters a lot, having these cosmetics on how you want to look matters a lot. They may not have a direct influence on gameplay but they have a direct influence on the player. If you're going to play Sea of Thieves for any serious amount of time, you want to look 'cooler' or show off that you're not some random. It's the psychology of standing out in these games. And why does this matter? If you want to buy a cosmetic outfit go for it. TheCurseX2 posted... If it was a game that popped out for $60, some balance patches and properly sane ways of unlocking looks through playing it, then that would be a huge step up from the current direction it's going towards. But it isn't. The game wouldn't be the same thing under that model. TheCurseX2 posted... "Games as a service" is just another way of admitting that it's being backed by a design team that cares little for the game itself and more on how they can get your wallet open. You can support this type of dogs but hopefully you realize that you're part of the problem on why games today are trash. If it's a good game I'll play it. If it isn't I won't. It's really not that complicated. Personally I have no trouble finding modern games that aren't trash. 2017 is one of my favorite years in gaming for a long time. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:896095342] in Jim Sterli...
