Romulox28 posted... completely changes the design/focus of a game. this is VERY obvious if you have ever played a smartphone game in the last few years but that model is starting to seep into your average PC and console game now too. basically a death sentence for video games IMO The reason this happens, is because mobile games have an expected initial price point of $0, and the AAA model has bloated production costs to the point where a new game has to sell several million copies at $60 just break even. Unless you're willing to pay $100 for a console game, or anything at all for a mobile game, or are willing to play games that are less "pretty" with a hell of a lot less Hollywood voice-acting, that's just how it's going to be. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:884756962] in Jim Sterli...

If/when a game's practices becomes too RNG or too P2W, I just drop it and go play something else. Hell, I've made it a point to not buy any game on release (especially PC) because I know there will be DLC later, and by extension a definite all-in-one edition, and that it will in turn end up in a Steam sale somewhere down the line. If there's one thing I've learned from gaming, it's that patience is indeed a virtue, and that I'm frugal as fuck. (I blame the RPGs mostly.) That said, there's nothing I can do to dictate (or even discourage) how other people spend their money. I mean, great, I'm not part of the problem, but there's also nothing I can do to solve it either. and I've since come to accept that microtransactions will be the harbinger of the next video game crash within my lifetime.
