I game only on the PC and favor buying games from GOG over Steam, partly since one of the former’s core selling points is no-DRM (also you can directly download the games with no need for using GOG Galaxy and play offline for ever and ever), so I’ll just check the user reviews before buying and if there is some kind of mandatory account creation somebody will have complained and I will simply not buy that game (tends to be a pretty aware crowd on those subjects over there).
I’m reading here of people buying it and then not playing the game because of this and thinking: people doing that makes the decision to add this kind of thing a can’t-lose for the game makers - either way they get paid for the game and the with most people they do some extra money by selli gbtheir private information whilst for other the don’t but they still got a game sale, same as if they had not added this crap.
Best to check a few user reviews before buying and denying them a purchase if they’ve added such crap to the game, IMHO, as that changes the ROI equation and can make it a net negative to have this in a game.
Be real, no one adds games to their backlog. Those games cut in front and then move on to the backlog once you get burned out from to much the same thing or till the next impulse buy.
Thank you, can’t wait for you to try it and I hope it lives up to those. I love The Stanley Parable and I’m trying to do my own thing in that tone, (the final part of the game really gets unhinged)
It seems to be the new norm and I honestly hate it. So I find it incredibly refreshing when there’s a demo you can actually just play whenever you want.
Fun idea, I love the Stanley Parable. I only checked out the trailer but the only thing that stuck out to me was that the narration is a bit hard to hear, not sure if it’s because of the audio quality or the speaker effects you have.
I honestly don’t get it. It’s such an extremist view for something that’s insignificant.
You paid for a game you’re excited for, and then because you have to sign up for 30 seconds you’d rather get upset, and then spend a longer amount of time refunding the game?
Maybe people here are being hyperbolic but I honestly can’t see people refunding the game because of this.
If you keep rewarding the bad behavior of others, you have only yourself to blame if they continue to behave badly.
I shouted, literally shouted at my friends for buying the Oblivion Horse Armor and WARNED them the world they were creating, and I was fucking right on every fuckdamn point.
But they laughed at me then, and you laugh at me now, and the world gets shittier and shittier every day.
One time my buddy was tripping super hard and he went to play a new game, stared at the TOS for like 5-10 mins then hit “do not accept” and backed out to the home screen.
I have purchased games, have it ask for me to create an account, and promptly never play the game. What’s annoying is a lot of sports games are like this now.
I bought NBA 2k since I hadn’t played a basketball game since NBA Live 2001. It took like 15 minutes to get a account set up. A few days later my account was gone. Haven’t played since.
