The fireworks when this thing implodes will be visible from space.

I think that people here are underestimating just how destructive these practices are. I have an enormous range of choices for games, and I completely avoid games with loot boxes or cash shops. Because they warp their game play to encourage me to pa…

A more realistic prediction: sq42 never happens, and SC drifts in perpetual alpha for as many years as whales throw money at it.

How much do they charge if you want to be able to reliably log in?

Calling this game a walking simulator is a total mis-characterization. You face a wide variety of obstacles, which absolutely can include fighting in various ways. There are boss fights that are compelling and challenging. You don't just engage i…

bcbully said: You know what’s really funny? Every time I hear someone say I don’t like wpvp because I prefer real skill, real competition. Pure comedy. I find it funny when people with huge in game advantages pretend that they're in…

I'd wager that they had a lot of data to support their decision. The open world pvp gang have no one to blame but themselves if the data showed that people used the format to repeatedly target new and low level players. I'm perfectly willing to d…

It's both ridiculous and deceptive to try and lure people in, and then have them find out that they have to pay for old expansions, and slog through a bunch of empty zones. I'm a huge LOTR fan, but the way that this MMO is set up is an insult to our…

It was quite a year. Starting with nuke launch code glitches, moving on to toxic gear, then to an intensely unpopular sub service loaded with bugs. And finishing up with a crazy looting exploit. Mind you, not the sort of year that a compa…

At some point, industry practices can become so repulsive that they have consequences. MMOs have a *terrible* reputation in the wider gaming community - as being bad games, with trivial and repetitive play; as being designed as massive time sinks t…

Good Lord. We have no idea what the policy to buy ships in game is going to look like. We don't even have a hint of a launch date. Even ethical game makers change that stuff around until the last minute. Given the sheer amount of money being made…

Iselin said: So... is anyone going to actually wait for the show to air before going full retard pro or against SC? Great movie!

If I google "star citizen squadron 42 release date" I get a bunch of articles from December 2018 promising a summer 2020 release date, and an almost feature complete game at the end of 2019. For example, https://www.polygon.com/2018/12/20/181…

There is nothing standard about how this game is being done. Lots of emphasis on pretty visuals, and little evidence of actual game play. Expensive things for sale, with more and more elaborate things added to the store before the relevant elements …

What do the screenshots have to do with ships being sold years ago, but not being delivered?

Those stats are quite low for a game claiming millions of users. Starting with minutes played is a real tell. For reference, I play a cool indie roguelike (TOME). Great game! But a small community, and the dev did note when he passed the 1000 pl…

I actually believe that having a "gray zone" where everything isn't filtered through a political lens is incredibly important. The problem to me isn't a "no politics" rule - there are absolutely ways to leave it out of many things. The problem is …

It's always possible that they work in the industry. Maybe even designing lootboxes. Don't get high on your own supply, you know...

Well, I stopped playing ESO because of their money raising strategies. I will never play lootbox games, period. I didn't buy Fallout 76 because I no longer trust them. And I will pass on all of their future games until I see reviews and clear eviden…

Calling anyone who likes a game a liar who is posting for pay is a garbage move. Yes it can happen. No, none of these posts give that vibe. I don't play ESO any more because of their loot boxes and aggressive cash raising approach. But the complaint…
