Katana314, do games w Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

I love the story of Final Fantasy XIV, but it can easily categorize as “One of the most expensive singleplayer games of all time”. On top of buying the expansions, you’ll need to pay for each month you play; and unless someone’s really speedrunning, that will start to add up. Worse, for a first timer setting up their account, their website and payment system is really stuck in 1998, making giving them money an obtuse task. And, while the story has its great moments and excellent side content, a depressing amount of it is extensive polite dialog with just simple quests where you move to a location and right-click on someone. I’ve finished Dawntrail, and am glad I experienced it, but I can’t blame anyone who sees it all as beyond them.

Alan Wake 2, I loved the 1st but I’m not using Epic’s shitty store. Especially with Epic’s general anti-linux stance.

Cyberpunk 2077 - it still doesn’t go on steep enough sales to justify buying when I have hundreds of unplayed games on Steam. But I’m keeping an eye on its downward progress. Maybe when it reaches £10-13…

Blackmist,

Do yourself a favour and get the Ultimate Edition. Phantom Liberty is the only real reason to put yourself through it.

innermachine,

I played before phantom liberty and thought it was a neat enough game. Maybe I should give it another shot.

Any of the Civilization games. I used to spend 10+ hours on a single session! My ass can’t handle more than 1-2 now

Same reason nobody, not even Sony, sued M$ for buying Activision-King and Bethesda.

MrScottyTay,

Actually sony tried to fight it because of the COD franchise mainly but didn’t get into suing them, but they were a big part of the opposition when it came to governments giving approval of such a huge merger

Because sweeney is greedy lying piece of shit, who’s using “think of poor developers being robbed by app stores” to cut himself bigger market share by suing fuck out of competitors

Like they won over google and guess what? He fucked over “all the poor developers” and cut himself a juicy deal to settle antitrust case

Fuck him, fuck Epic

I haven’t really looked deeply into this issue but what caught my eye was the claim that a 30% fee was excessive. I’m no insider into video game publishing but 30% is the standard retail markup for many things. If you bought a candy bar today, it probably cost the mini mart you bought it from 70% of what they’re charging.

Asparagus0098,

Just letting you know that you commented the same thing twice.

Bakkoda,

That’s what Apple charges devs in their “ecosystem” correct?

protogen420,

thats what apple forces and imposes on any developer that uses the app store, which is most of them since on ios alt stores are only a thing on eu and japan afaik

Grimy,

Retail needs a location to store and sell their product. They need employees as well. One small Walmart has as many employees as steam does. Retails also buys the product in bulk, there is a bigger risk involved if it doesn’t sell or even sells slowly.

Huge difference imo.

I’ve been paying for my EvE Online accounts for over 10 years without playing. Just logging in about twice a year, to play skill training online.

Maybe I’ll have time to continue playing when I retire …

Oh man I missed you starting this up! So glad you picked up Cult of the Lamb! I absolutely ADORE that game, and I’ve been meaning to go back to it since all of the updates (and now with the new DLC too!) I originally 100%'d the full game, but since the updates they added more achievements, so I gotta get back into and re-earn my 100% again lol

Happy to see you’re enjoying it, and best of luck with the rest of the game!

(P. S. I respect the hell outta ya for being able to keep this daily posting up, it’s fuckin awesome😎)

Strider, do games w Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Lots, as you said too. Blizzard lost its way a while ago, not giving them money.

Neither epic, ubi, ea. F all of them.

On the bright side there’s so much games coming out and so much backlog too, I don’t miss them.
