If it was a dollar an hour, then GTAV would be $1208…

But of course, TV AFKing took up a solid chunk of this time… because of forced waiting periods. Sooooo combine a pay-to-play per hour model and forced waiting periods then you’ve got MTX “Shark cards” with extra annoying steps.

€200 for Vampire Survivors?

not enough tbh

Awesome proposal. Some indie games would suck me dry and I’d be paying 1/4 of the price for AAA releases! Is this the redistribution of wealth Marx has been talking about?

Oh God, Factorio will cost me my life savings

Oh shit… I thought the $/hr was a good idea until you mentioned Factorio.

So he’s suggesting AAA games be about $5-$10 right?

I get that Baldur’s Gate 3 is a great game and I have no reason to dispute that, but its presence in any category this year leaves no chance for the rest, making the nominations pointless.

Waker, rok temu (edited rok temu)

If it’s that good or deserves to be awarded, no?

I get what you mean but, what do you suggest? Not praising it?

Rose, rok temu

Praising it but leaving room for the rest as well. Otherwise what’s good about watching the ceremony? There’s no excitement when everything feels predetermined.

Waker, rok temu

No one said the rest aren’t good in some areas but if BG3 is clearly the winner then why pretend it’s not?

I just don’t watch the ceremony I guess… I just see the results afterwards

Thoughts like this are why AW2 only has one entry for performance. I’d much rather a game that excels gets many nominations then hand out pity nominations to get everyone pleased

vonxylofon, rok temu

Nomination itself is a kind of a prize. Yes, BG3 will probably win everything, but that’s what happens if it’s really that good at everything. LotR won 11 Oscars because it was better than all the other contenders that year, but the nominations mean they were recognised as good enough to go against the winner.

I wish I could get a partial money back if I played 2-3 hours because the game is crap…

I agree, as should salaries of employees. Every hour you produce something measurable you get paid. See how far that idea goes.

That’s a terrible idea. You’d pay more than an entire paycheck just to play a typical JRPG which typically have 40+ hours of gameplay. I’m not paying $600 to play one game.

This is developers incrementally conditioning you to accept an even worse state of things for games. And if they follow through, I’ll pirate their shit and never give them a dime of my money again.

Can I counteract that with “then maybe you should release finished products at the initial public release date”?

I don’t actually disagree with moving from the 60/70 USD standard, but instead I think big budget blockbuster studios should die off, and focus on making optimized, shorter, and more creative games.

Take 2 is playing a dangerous game betting the farm on a single property and then trying to come up with new ways to milk it. When it falls out of favor it is going to sink them.

It’s worked fine for blizzard and wow for the past 10+ years even though is a hollow shell of what it used to be.
