Money money money, that's all these people care about, they don't give a damn about us, just the money they can get out of us.
Really big props for him outright deleting the video, that's putting money where his mouth is. Seriously, with how this response video is trending, he could have kept the old review up for those curious and earn even more in add revenue/clicks/likes/subscribers, even. If his full time job is youtube, or he makes any money off of it at all, removing a feature length review video is throwing weeks of monetarily lucrative work away. That's a very strong statement from him, and deserves respect in it of itself, imo.
Skill Up and by extension Laymen Gaming are really excellent channels, they're good dudes, provide several different perspectives that they don't always agree on, which is good cause some channels of a similar theme can get echo chambery.
Sixty bucks for the game plus fifty bucks for the season pass plus the the battlepass system and cash shop straight lifted from fortnite. The menus look like it's a free to play game. I'm really hoping these types of games start crashing and burning. The sports games will probably live forever but shit like call of duty and red dead/gtao needs to be purged.
lootboxes in any full price game just feel really tacky.
I think the saddest part about microtransactions is that they're working, people are buying them, otherwise they wouldn't be put into AAA games. I can't see them going away any time soon.
Wasn't it something like out of Blizzards 7.2-something billion dollars in revenue in 2017-8 some 4 billion plus was microtransactons/in-game purchases alone?
Yes and no, it's interesting to look at because very few consumers actually buy into microtransaction gambling, but due to the nature of gambling addiction the few people who do turn major profit.
I hope the gaming market crashes because of this shit.
Capitalism and Quarterly reports/bonuses are ruining gaming. Artists should and must be free of financial limitations.
I honestly don't think this is ever going to be possible, as wishful as it is.
If it does, i hope a few of the good indie people/companies rise in power.
If nothing changes i'm convinced that the video game industry will see another crash, at some point people will get tired of paying for nothing over and over again. Either that or the mobile market will take over forever and gaming as we know it will die.
