Especially for the companies who disappear because they were too greedy.

datavoid,

I’m trying to think of a single example and I’m struggling

EA just had to sell to avoid continuing their downward spiral

McDonald’s is the most clear cut example, although that’s ongoing

There’s been countless little companies that sent themselves into death spirals with a price hike, but when they’re big their remains are pounced on, or they experience a slow decline before collapsing to a failed pivot

It’s something we don’t take lightly, and we’re listening to the feedback of players and the community to try to provide them with more of what they’re asking for.

God they will never understand that we see right through their bullshit corpo-speak answers will they. Everything they just said is nothing. They don’t take it lightly. They are listening. They will try. There is nothing concrete in that wet paper towel of an answer.

Inaminate_Carbon_Rod,

How do they think that shit still works?

Except your CEO the boardroom and the shareholders

cronenthal, do gaming w Game Pass Price Hike Announced, Will Cost $30/Month For Ultimate

I tried it and canceled it the moment the games I actually played started randomly disappearing. “Whoops, we only licensed this for a couple of months. You can still pay even more to ‘buy’ it, though. We might also re-license it later on, but who knows? Also, enjoy this absolute corporate trash we will shove into your face constantly!” No thanks.

So in other words, you pay more and unless you’re on the highest tier, they take away the one thing that made Game Pass worth the money: new games available on day one.

I’m not a fan of subscription models overall but getting a ton of new releases for about what two full price titles per year would cost was a great deal. Not anymore.

And there goes another reason to keep a Windows machine around.

Yeah, I gotta go with Sony on this and holy shit that is horizon zero dawn all the way!

psx_crab, do gaming w Young Americans Are Spending A Whole Lot Less On Video Games This Year

Totally have nothing to do with game started selling for $70. Must be their own fault for not spending on game.

redsand,

Tomb Raider on PS3 was $70. It’s more people don’t have money for entertainment.

psx_crab,

More and more AAA game started to charge $70 today than in PS3 era, and $80 is coming.

Belgdore, do games w Bethesda Is Charging $7 For A New Starfield Mission, And Players Are Upset

It should be standard practice for Bethesda games to wait for a game of the year edition (or whatever they want to call it) then wait for a steam sale on that.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Bold of you to assume it will come included.

Eigerloft, do games w New Doom Game Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase In June

It’ll be interesting to see who they got to compose the music, and if they try to imitate Mick Gordon’s style or go a different direction.

PhobosAnomaly,

Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.

The DLC composers did a good job IMO.

Andrew Hulshult and Chad Mossholder. They do good work.

big fan of Hulshult’s work on IDKFA, DUSK and Prodeus. Would love to see them directly involved with DOOM.

Viper_NZ,

I have a nasty feeling it’s going to be like Halo without Marty O’Donnell - bland music that is completely and utterly forgettable.

BruceTwarzen,

Chat gpt, make a soundtrack that sounds like mick gordon

I never thought the music in nu-Doom was all that great anyway. Not compared to classic Doom at least. E1M1 is forever stuck in my head and if you hum a couple bars to anyone who has played it, they’ll immediately know the tune.

The music in nu-Doom is fine while you’re playing, but I can’t remember a single track.

@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

I started humming the E1M1 tune just now but halfway through I realized it was the Duke Nukem one

Translation: making very shit console games gives little returns, whereas making mobile f2p shit is not only cheaper, but with better returns.

While they might or might not have reasons to raise prices, those people who cancelled their subscriptions definitively had their reason.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Yeah, it’s too expensive.
