      @@DefensiveLimestone Yeah the entire point of the comment from Ubisoft was that if subscription services are to take off in gaming, than most people need to get comfortable with not owning their games. A compromise people have already decided in the movie industry and others, but not the gaming industry. That's why gaming subscription services haven't really taken off. Even Game Pass isn't doing the numbers Microsoft wants, and that's literally the biggest gaming subscription service. Shit, most people that DO have it mostly have it due to it being coupled with other benefits. Like the ability to play online, for instance, considering most gamers play a handful of games or less.

  • @Tommy_The_Gun

    Best way is to vote wit your wallet. I bought BG3 on steam for less than 60$ and then later I bought Physical copy of BG3 again in a "big box" with a buch of phisical goodies (like sound track CD) for less than 60$ (including transport fee). Larian and other (usually smaller companies) are proving it is still possible. It is the share holders who want you to think that it is no longer possible to provide decent product for decent price and developing games costs more & more.
    At this point, if some one charge 70$ for a game that has additional micro payments in it or is not a "full bug free experience" with all the DLCs/Expansions - then it is a scam. Sorry to say, but it is what it is.

    • @whyjnot420
      @whyjnot420 Před 20 dny

      @@llukas0906 I think your argument would be correct if you were talking explicitly about full expansions. However the stuff called "DLC" was originally about small things that often looked as if they had been cut from the game so they could be sold later. This was a hallmark of early dlc. They were little things that at the very least appeared to have been cut and then parted out like a stolen car, regardless if they were or were not. They were low effort crap churned out to make more money. Their small nature was why the term 'microtransaction' could legitimately apply to them (somewhat, it should refer to transactions under a dollar or under a couple of bucks, the amount changes depending on who you ask, but is always very small, smaller than you would use a credit/debit card for at a store... think minimum purchase amount).
      Somewhere along the lines people have conflated these little tidbits (think horse armor) with actual proper expansions (to keep with Oblivion, think Shivering Isles) and since it is all downloaded these days, just started calling it all dlc. When you look at the individual words, it is accurate as it is downloaded/downloadable and it is content. However when you look at what the term was used to describe prior to this conflation, it is clear that it refers to a very specific type of content and that it wasn't being applied to larger pieces of content like actual expansions until later on.
      DLC should only be used to refer to the small stuff (if at all tbh). Expansion for the big stuff. If you want an encompassing term, something akin to 'plugin' could be used for the whole spectrum of post-launch content. (hell, using PLC, Post Launch Content would work pretty well)

  • @Rehapster

    It is a very simple psychological trick used in so many other markets already (eg. Popcorn prices in a cinema): The "small" version costs a somewhat reasonable amount, then there is a massive gap to the "medium" version with very little extra content. And for a smaller increase you could get the "big" version with so much more content. The middle version will only very rarely be bought and is simply there to make people buy the big version since you get a lot more stuff and the increase doesn't seem as big from the middle one

    Them there's the fact them and other developers offer most times an art book / soundtrack as a deluxe edition bonus now with not much else. While most games use to have these as preorder perks even worse these artbooms and soundtracks usually loop back to signing up for a developer's or publisher's exclusive store/site to use the codes or download the digital artbooks/soundtracks.

But one day their system somehow decided that its a good idea to link the steam version of the game to my uplay and now it is inpossible to run two SEPERATE copies of the game at the same time. Moreover, the steam version doesnt even seem to exist because when you run the game from steam it still opens my Uplay instance of anno 1800 with all the dlc that I dont have on steam. The worst part is that the support doesnt see a problem and refused to fix it in any way 😂

    I don't understand why people, especially Star Wars fans, at this point would ever consider pre-ordering Ubisoft games. The last 3 years have not been kind to them outside of R6 Siege and they're monetizing a SINGLE PLAYER game. Similar to mtx in Dragon's Dogma 2. Put the shit in the game, and LEAVE it in the game. Stop pay-walling content for single player experiences.

      I specified Star Wars fans because of the Battlefront 2 and 3 fiasco. Service for the game just dropped and Battlefront 3 was basically a finished game and EA made DICE scrap it for BF2042.

      I am a Star Wars fan, but I am not buying any Ubisoft + subscription or paying more than the standard price of AAA game.
      I am willing to pay 70$ for a Star Wars game I enjoy, but more than that is too much and I will either wait for a discount or never buy it.
