Current Events > The digital age turned gaming into a money trap

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hey! Lets release 75% of the game and then place the last part behind a pay wall!

Hey! Lets make up a whole bunch of new characters and put all the fan favorites behind a pay wall! (Mortal Kombat)

Hey! Lets make the game online-only, and then allow users to pay more money to give themselves an unfair advantage over the people who just want to pay the retail price!

*millions of preorders are canceled*

The Nintendo eshop sells games for $40, regardless of when they were released. Its never a fair deal on the Nintendo eshop.

PlayStation: if I purchase a game on PS3, then I should be able to download that game FOR FREE to my Vita or PS4 (provided its for all three systems).

These people are just greedy and its the fault of the idiots who continuously support this shit. That Star Wars game I wish it had sold zero copies because developers need to learn that we arent their piggy banks.

Proposal: Quit whining and buy games on sale.

Well yeah...

If you're a sucker.

Meanwhile I got all three ME games for $5 thanks to the online age.

Just wait a short while and there's pretty much invariably going to be some complete edition with all the DLC. A little while longer and it's like $15.

Games haven't changed due to inflation though.

Solution: Buy it when the bugs are fixed.

No, man. Youre suggesting that people cant enjoy a game at release date because we should just expect it to be unplayable?

Final Fantasy 15 was a game that tons of people bought and preordered and it was seriously unbelievably glitchy until they released the patch (which took like an hour to install and download).

Bethesda:
Lets release a buggy broken unfinshed game and leave it to the fans to patch up.

Gamers:
Thank you Bethesda for your gift, please spit in our face and allow us to blow you!
DLC? Here take more of my money!
New edition with same bugs & glitches? Here take even more of my money!

I mean, it's dumb but it's also realistic. In 2018, you get to choose between playing a game that works or one that's new and it's really kinda silly to keep complaining when you repeatedly choose the "new" option.

They're not really pulling a fast one on you if you fall for the same trick a dozen times in a row.

That's why I always heavily endorse Warframe and Digital Extremes

And laugh at people who support or defend Destiny
