still a shitty trend
What would you prefer instead?
invalid question,
I think getting kicked in the nuts hurt and I don’t like it
WELL? WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GET KICKED???
I’d rather people get paid when they work hard to add stuff to a video game.
then make a videogame, not part of a game for 59.99$ then you have to buy the rest of the game picmeal. only so the executives get bonuses and the people actually working get crunch time.
I can just about guarantee you this game will cost less than $60 and is made by a small team.
still, the business model is to release an incomplete product with intention to sell components piecemeal.
imagine buying a car, and you can’t drive it off because tires, windshield wipers, windows, seats, steering wheell… weren’t included and you have to pay extra for them.
To use your analogy, they sold you a car, then you added aftermarket components like a new sound system and a spoiler. 10-12 characters at launch is a complete fighting game. It’s not like they’ve got these characters ready to go. The ones they add, and how they play, come down to feedback on what the game needs most, and the devs almost never have the resources to do all of them, nor will they have the foresight to know that until it’s been in the community’s hands.
Question, do you think getting the game without ever buying any dlc. the game is enjoyable? is it how it is meant to be played?
the point of a car is to drive, if I buy a car it should drive. if I need aftermarket parts for something else that is a different issue.
another example, Age of Empires II. Chuck full of DLC, and I don’t think anyone ever complained about it, and in fact it is celebrated. because they did a full game, and instead of making a sequel, they just did new campaigns, and they are still releasing more. You can actually get the base game and never spend a peny more, and it is exactly how it was meant to be played on release.
The problem is that game companies are run by executives who want to prioritise profit, and they ignore user experience or worker welfare. amd end up making shitty products then fire the programmer who actually made the game.
