roflpwnedz 289 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 PC has been kind of a lonely experience, even when I have been able to play multiplayer games that haven't been pirated lol. There's the issues of cheating. The crazy prices are pretty much why I went PC last gen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PC has a lot more actively played titles each with lots of more people than anything on consoles apart from the latest shooter (which is really all consoles has, everyone flocking to the latest COD oR BF - but then you're playing a shooter at low frames and on thumbsticks lmao!). I guess it depends on the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you think microtransactions and DLC have become such a focus lately? Also, This game is releasing in 2 months. Why did they suddenly realize that the next gen version needs to be more expensive? Surely if they planned their development costs correctly, they'd realize they would have to sell it at a higher price much earlier? Sterling nailed it in this video Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most increases in developmental costs will be made irrelevant by increases in technology and better workflows Why do you think games like this, made almost entirely by 1 person are able to exist? The tools, workflows, available learning materials, asset stores, etc are better now than they ever were before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It’s all about capitalism. Any kind of rise of development costs should have been offset by micro transactions and the rise of digital which is cutting the retailer chunk of the pie out of the equation and more in developers pockets. Thinking this isnt going to be the new standard is being very naive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
