    We only have ourselves to blame for this. Everyone complains about micro transactions, but we don’t stop spending real money to get in game stuff. People need to stop using micro transactions, or stop complaining about them. That’s all there is to it. If they don’t make money off of micro transactions, we can potentially make them go away.

I had zero fun with them after the first time and really sat and considered how long I’d have to force myself through the rest to get a character two weeks early. It immediately killed my interest. If agent smith was a month or two wait then maybe it would have been worth. But as it is now it definitely feels like your choice is only play rifts indefinitely or wait and pay. That being said, I’m more into the pvp aspect so maybe it’s not so bad if you are only interested in solo stuff. To each their own but this game isn’t exactly built for pve as much as it’s meant to be an addition. It’s not sitting right with a lot of people so there’s definitely an issue there.

Fans keep coming back time and time again. So why should they change their business model. It's working for them for now. And that for now part is extra insidious, because as a mega-corp their only concerns are quarterly earnings. So they're going to gauge now and worry about the fallout later.

    This is how Warner Bros Discovery is. Making as much money as they can in the short term is their entire business plan right now, because they need that money on hand to pay off the massive debt hole they're in. So any product they put out is going to be geared, first and foremost, toward making the most money possible as quickly as possible - even if that means cutting short the lifespan of that product. Multiversus is doomed to be monetized aggressively, it's players milked dry, and then being unceremoniously shut down the instant that it isn't making enough of a profit to justify keeping it running. Which is a shame because it's a fun game and both the players and the developers deserve better.

    Games like this should have to reclassify themselves as Demos and not Free to Play. A consumer will never have a quality, full-game experience without paying. These video game companies are drug cartels, offering a consumer a free taste and hoping to get the consumer hooked, and then pushing their product on the consumer as much as possible to get them addicted and constantly buying as much as possible. It's gross, primarily, as many of these games are targeted toward children.

    Its wild how normalized its become to even spend that much money for a character or skin. Before when this all started it was like $5-10. And even that was deemed a stretch by some people. Youd be hard pressed to find them that "low priced" now. And people will die on that hill and justify this stuff is the crazy.
    Another thing is that, under most circumstances, most people would play these types of games for hours and days on end normally. But because the battlepass has added a latee of FOMO and "gotta get it done quick", to the point it becomes a job and you have to log in constantly and play constantly to unlock stuff it makes it more stressful. Ive heard more people talk about playing this constantly for unlocks rather than them having fun with it.
    The thing is though, this will never change. At least not here in the West. The only way for it to change is if the govt was the step in and force a change like what some other countries did for Battlefront loot boxes. The industry and the people who run it and have power cannot be trusted to make those changes and realistically have no reason to make significant changes or stop. But when the govt steps in to stop them, normal people, not even the execs, but normal freaking people get tight about it and that they are overstepping their boundaries even if its to their benefit. When again, the industry isnt going to change itself. Even if they listen to an outcry and make some changes, its always minor and more so them finding loopholes to do it, but to a smaller degree.

  • @artisticvisionary00
    @artisticvisionary00 Před 6 dny

    Remember when it was just gold and gleamium? Yeah when the beta is better than full launch we really gotta look at leadership. PFG is extremely communicative with the community but to rebuild the game for the sake of the Netcode on a completely different engine is wild to me. GGST initially had delay until they reworked it for rollback but MVS was already on it so iterating and improving doesn't require the changing of UE4 to UE5 is inefficient and poor leadership. The beta could've benefited massively from features present now and incorporated into the foundation the UE4 Open beta established. The battlepass progression was not egregious as it is now but could've used some work. The real topic of conversation amongst the monetization present, but was the engine swap justified?

  • @jasiah1154
    @jasiah1154 Před 16 dny

    Thank you for speaking on these issues. I loved the beta this new release is so grindy especially only being able to level up the battle pass via challenges and not gameplay. Also character progression is so slow and grindy. The multiverses content creators aren’t even speaking on the monitization issues. They want to talk about theories for new characters instead of the real issues plaguing this game.

    This is why I keep saying the PS2/XBox/GameCube era was the peak gaming era. Once the 360/PS3 era started and online gaming became more prevalent and widespread, it's been all about catering to shareholders who have never held a controller over catering to gamers. The "chasing trends" era started in full force with that 360/PS3 era. It's also the start of the microtransaction era, which has only gotten worse since.

I already have a joker already have every character visibly showing on the roster at the moment. didn’t have to pay a thing, and got all of them on day two of the games release. Why day two because that’s about how long it took me to figure it out for myself that that was a possibility. I didn’t really look into it that much before that so it’s kind of my fault, but come on people it took me less than a day meeting. It’s really surprising if there wasn’t anyone who figured it out on day one.
