    The best choice with a game like SW Outlaws is to not buy it at all. If we are being pressured into bad decisions as consumers with the garbage option #1 or garbage option #2 in terms of always online type of situations, then we HAVE to vote with our wallet. We can say “that’s probably not gonna happen” or whatever but it sure as heck won’t if we don’t speak clearly on our game ownership.

    • @cbgg1585

      “Vote with our wallet” is such a cringe way of protest. I am debt free because of my equities portfolios into the varying corporations which includes the most controversial ones in gaming like Tencent, Activision, Take Two, Ubisoft… that is even before accounting for my other strong tech positions in Apple, Nintendo, Sony, Tesla and Nvidia- who are without controversy from time to time.
      Contrary to what you may believe, consumers just don’t care. If you protest and don’t buy, some other loser will come along and buy and continue to support the so called “anti consumer practices”.
      Just look at Pokemon Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet. Did all the faux outrage prevent the games from selling? Combined, both these sets of games sold 50+ million copies. All the boycotting. What did that achieve? 🤣😂

      @DeathScyther006 Před měsícem

      I have to imagine the main reason is they can save costs by using fewer/lower-capacity discs or possibly just spend less time and money optimizing their games. Cutting out the secondhand market is probably a distant second goal because while great games usually get remakes and remasters down the road, the majority of games will not see that treatment and so they don't get a second chance to pump money out of consumers once the servers shut off.

      I doubt that. By the time the ability to download patches is taken away-I imagine not a lot are gonna want to buy the game again. Even ps3 still lets you download patches for disc games. Still sucks though, releasing a game not all in the disc. At that point you should just release it digitally. Oh well, another game to skip

    • @G360LIVE
      @G360LIVE Před měsícem +6

      Back when the Xbox One was revealed, the reason why Microsoft wanted to tie each disc to a specific console was to prevent second hand sales, and publishers were completely behind that idea. Of course, once Microsoft got a ton of backlash for wanting to do that, they did a 180 and removed that feature before launch. Now, you see Microsoft pushing for all-digital, getting rid of physical games as fast they possibly can, and yes, publishers want to move to digital-only as well. Like you said, it's about stopping second hand sales. Every time GameStop makes a second hand sale, the publisher doesn't make a sale.

    "Gone back to the well" and "back to the drawing board" have sort of opposite meanings, and I think you used the wrong one when talking about the prince of Persia remake.
    If they started over development of PoP, then they're back at the drawing board, or the beginning stages of designing a plan or project.
    But also, since it's a remake, they're going back to the well of inspiration, drawing the same water they've always drawn. A very Ubisoft thing to do.

I’m canceling my game pass and abandon getting new games for it. I have video game fatigue with the Xbox and PlayStation. I’m not giving up on Nintendo or switch yet but I’m close.

      "nobody asked for this" is always a bankrupt critique. Much of the best loved media and hardware is something that came from left field. If you ask for it, then it's not going to be innovative or interesting. You can have innovation that doesn't work and then people will levy this claim, but you can also have something like Nintendo DS that literally nobody was asking for, but blew all of our minds.
      you have to also remember that they are talking about next generation hardware to release years down the road. If it doesn't push boundaries then customers will just keep their current Xboxen.

Its such a set up since they see the lower sales for the physical and they will say "see no one buys the physical so lets do away with it" instead of "wow no one is buying the physical maybe we should have kept the basic functions of a physical game". Theyre creating the excuse to remove pro consumer features. Well if theyre happy to sabotage their game then Im happy to go buy any other game that does physical right.

      Good. We don’t need you.
      As an investor in Ubisoft let me just say, they are difficult to properly evaluate because their business model is kind of hidden within that cashflow. As someone who has been invested in them for a best part of over a decade, they appear to not be very profitable, when they in fact they actually are. They are one of those companies that reinvests everything they make back into the company...
      Ubisoft is also one of the few AAA companies where you rarely see layoffs. They spend an inordinate amount of resources building quality teams. And that is an important risk factor in retention/quality of workplace.
      All that in mind, with or without you, Ubisoft and people like me invested in it will and has still seen success.
      Physical is moving on. Get with the times because these corporations will still benefit greatly.

    In regards to the topic surrounding the sustainability of game development and game prices, I think you touched on an aspect of that in another news story today, which is Ubisoft charging for multiple editions, which also include early access to the game.
    I've seen this a lot lately. Gamers and the media getting hysterical over developers/publishers charging for certain types of post game or early access content. But this is largely how they will be able to maintain delivering games at the price they currently are. And unless gamers want the average prices for AAA games to be $90-$100, then I think we need to be ok with not getting every single thing for a game at that base level $70 price point.
    I mean, sure, make a stink if they start releasing largely incomplete games with very little content for $70 and then charge more for the "actual" complete game. But as long as this additional paid content is largely just extra and the $70 game itself feels complete, be okay to with that.
    And gamers often tend to view this kind of thinking as someone who is a corporate shill who wants the industry to run rampant with greed. But this is simply being okay with supporting an industry that we love as they sort out how to bring us high quality content without going out of business.
