They are the easiest one to make since you only need an arena and characters movesets, don’t even need to balance it properly since there’s no esports money to be made on it (unless it’s called gundam extreme versus).
I wouldn’t buy it either because mobile devs have a terrible track record of not bothering to update their games to the newest version of the OS, the older the game, the less likely it is they will update it, I lost considerable money many years ago when CAVE shooters weren’t updated to the current (at the time) android version.
Even big ones like square enix had to be almost harassed to update The World Ends With You Solo Remix for newer versions and I think in 2021 capcom just gave up in updating monster hunter freedom unite.
A crash is impossible at this point, the market is too big and vast, if AAA dies, mobile will live on like nothing happened, and guess where lootboxes and gacha started…
There’s no vote with your wallet when the supply is infinite and intangible, me not buying the microtransaction is one person, but a single whale will buy several, getting multiple votes in “yes please continue to shove shit down my throat” this isn’t voting at all.
What happened to the micro part of microtransactions? This is why I only bought one skin in Genshin Impact since they give you extra funny money for your first time to get it, but a second skin will double than the first so I’m never buying one ever again.
You being downvoted is puzzling. Romance was by far the most popular thing in baldur’s gate 3 after all, this was the best thing at the time, both skyrim and mass effect were awkward compared to today.
Crazy how that didn’t happen with Anthem and Babylon Fall huh, maybe because it is different and there is something people like there. Will it be enough to keep going? I don’t know, but having micro transactions in a full priced game does deserve the hate.
The ONE time people wanted Ubisoft to just reskin one of their games (Black Flag) they instead chase live service money while having WAY less features than a 10 year old game.
