      TitanSparrow The pesticide Atrazine is a major pollutant in most drinking water. It causes male frogs to develop functioning female reproductive organs. Frogs can do that naturally, but it’s significantly more common when they live in Atrazine-polluted water (even when the level of Atrazine in the frogs’ water is only a fraction of the legally permissible level of Atrazine in our drinking water). Atrazine interferes with the hormonal activity of both humans and animals at extremely low doses.

      This.
      Pokemon was my favorite franchise until that E3 announcement. They went from having a $40 price point in the handheld Era to $60, a $30 DLC expansion, plus the subscription for Home (up to $16/yr) and Bank ($5/yr) in the console Era. Home Premium costs almost as much as an annual Nintendo Switch Online subscription!
      This is EA levels of price gouging.

  • @HeyMyNameIs...
    @HeyMyNameIs... Před 4 lety +30

    the reason why i would always back expansions and good value dlc over microtransactions:
    + it adds additional gameplay, enlarging the overall game experience
    + having absolutely no negative impact to others even getting more quality content in the future
    + doesn't screw over the balance of the game and is completely OPTIONAL
    + customers feel a sense of value with their purchase even years later
    + a single game doesn't get overstuffed with content and doesn't give customers the feeling of catching up
    + social pressure has less effect with dlc than microtransactions skins and items like in fortnite
    + games with dlc as a business model has normally a cap not higher or less than 30/60 bucks
    microtransactions:
    - risk of impacting the game even further with grind tactics in future or current games if you buy some
    - looking good or getting rewarded with skins and other items is practically behind a paywall now
    - overstuffed ingame stores with skins and boosters
    - developers need to put in longer (crunch) hours on the same game under the name 'game as a service' because of microtransactions, causing burn outs.
    - less innovation in future games because they already make milions on the same gameplay loop because of microtransactions
    - complexity turns into simplicity in games so that publishers reach a wider audience meaning more cash
    - games as a service
    - corrupting gamers with the "it's necessary because games are to expensive" speech while ignoring that publishers still make more revenue selling dlc or the game itself.
    - workers not seeing a penny of this ridiculous wealth and publishers not paying a single penny of that microtransaction money in tax.
    - money goes to innovations in gambling mechanics, RPG mechanical tricks for children and adults to spend more money instead of going to new features and innovation.
    love or hate my opinion, even call me a millennial but i remember a time not so long ago when i bought my game. I got something bursting with creativity, innovation, value, quality over quantity with good dlc and at least a finished product with some less hard drive intensive patch updates. that for only 60 bucks or less with an OPTIONAL season pass of around 30 or 40 bucks. fight for good gaming people.

    Nice video Joe, I did forget that some of these controversies happened this year, sucks that happened, let me bring some honorable mentions:
    - Shenmue 3 becoming an Epic Games Exclusive yet refusing to refund the money players that invested in the Kickstarter;
    - Cyberpunk being delayed and acknowledging they'll overwork their employees until the release of the game;
    - I remember once Epic Games forced some unexpected discounts of many games without the devs permissions or something like that, I didn't went much in-depth but it looked like another greedy move from Epic Games.

    Let me tell a story about video game violence and my mother. My mom was one of those moms that did not care what game or movie I saw. My mom could not care less about video games, she has zero interest in such things. But when I was playing GTA3 my mom actually would watch just a few seconds of me playing, she even talk to me and said, "Chris, you do know the difference between real life and a video game?" I was like, "Yes mom I would never do the things in a game and replicate it in real life. I am not dumb, I know this is a game, and it just for fun". My mom felt some relief that day, tho I know she did not have anything to worry about. GTA vice city comes out. I beg my mom to get this game (im about 16 at the time) she buys me the game. While playing one day my mom decided to watch me play for just a second my new game. I was sitting in a nice car just parked by the curb when I had no idea that a NPC can jack you for the car. I got jacked and instantly sprung into action to get my car back. I was like Oh hell no motherfucker, (yes i can curse in my house my mom did not care lol) As i pulled the guy out my car I proceeded to bash the persons face in with my baseball bat over and over saying fuck you bitch this is what you get. My mom laughed hysterically and said you're so bad Chris, and i began to laugh too.
    When you give your kids freedom to make their own choices but you poke in just enough to let them know hey games are fake but what you do in reality is for real and you can't take that back. You can still be a cool parent and let your kid make their own decisions. But if you drill shit in there head and say this is bad this is good, how the fuck is your kid suppose to make up their mind for themselves.

    About politicians and their broken record- - game violence:
    I am 500 and 50 years old, and I am only mildly senile; so I can tell you wholeheartedly that back in my days we had 0 violence movies and games, and so there was absolutely NO violence back in the middle ages, and even if (hypothetically) we wanted to rough up, we had no guns, and so there was nothing left to do, but to listen to Beatles albums and drink Chai tea . So ya! Trump is right, he is 100 percent right, eliminate violent games, and we will have a perfectly hippie utopian life. Also put more slot machines in our games; that will keep the kids off the streets. Rated E for everyone.

Instead of looking at these fringe cases in depth and finding out what extraneous factors lead up to a individual choosing to do what they did, all the politicians want to choose the lazy way and scapegoat the fuck out of inanimate objects never just saying yeah this individual is crazy and these factors in his life lead up to him choosing to go nuts.

      I think saying that it's the video games is something of an easy out for the blame on that shooting when mass media in general like movies and music do the same. That way they can say they did something to address the issue (specifically that shooting) without looking much further.
      For what it's worth, I think cracking down on Games wouldn't be completely pointless, but it wouldn't do much to fix what's wrong with us, when we need to look into societal/work/mental problems that drive a lot of people to that point.
