- With Nintendo completely shutting down the 3DS and Wii U, it looks like a strange situation has popped up around purchased DLC. EA revived Dead Space with a remake last year, but it looks like things aren't going how fans were hoping.

Somebody once said:
“If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.”
Amen
Loving my new V1 Switch. Totally agree. Although definitely still support the indie devs.
I would agree, except if you read the terms and conditions for digital purchases it says it may disappear if the services end. I am in no way agreeing with it but they is their legal out with this. It sucks.
I really like the Dead Space remake, expect charging $70 for a remake is beyond stupid!!!!
A million people once said
@@johnfech3985 I don't care what their Jew ToS says. It's mine after I pay for it, period.
Who is even paying for EA Play? Most of their library is old Madden and FIFA games that Gamestop won't even bother trying to resell, and the big sell for it is being able to play games that you're purchasing separately a few days early. Some people shouldn't be allowed to use money.
I pay for it indirectly. I have gamepass ultimate which includes ea play. So although I don't really use the ea app I'm included in their numbers I would imagine. And I'm guessing I'm in the same boat with a few million people lol. But it does actually have a few other good games. Pretty much the whole need for speed franchise, The dead space series, dragon age, both the Sims and simcity games. And for people who like it the sports games. Other stuff too. So I could see why others might want it. For me it's just a bonus with the gamepass subscription.
You sound uneducated
You sound uneducated
I don't want any new games for old badass western IPs being made by modern devs... they will just destroy them. Time to come out with new IPs too bad these new devs seem to lack the creativity to do that though....
@@jimmycarpenter6612luckily that catalogue of their old games that are good can be bought for $120
It seems to me that early access is basically a streamer tax. They are the ones who would benefit the most form having the game early, so it's kinda like the companies getting a piece of the bits/subs
Electronic Arts and Ubisoft, the ultimate villains of the video game industry.
Good thing indie games and AA games are taking over the entire triple AAA industry.
@@keeganmcfarland7507And here I am still benefiting financially from such corporations as an equities investor. EA dividend payouts in particular is utter bliss!
If you were like me and benefitting financially and seeing massive portfolio growth, then you wouldn’t be so salty. AAA gaming corporations in terms of finance are still well above water.
Go outside and you would come to realize the world doesn’t revolve around you. With or without you, these corporations will still profit, which in turn benefits long time investors like myself. 🤣😂
For what? Confirming a rumor wasn't true? XD.
@@RubyRose23328 Yeah that's *exactly* it!
Thanks for being such an astute person, we all can't stand them cause they alert us to false rumors.
You should run for congress, you're over qualified and are clearly the best of us with that magnificent huge brain of yours, ready to jump to stupid conclusions that completely ignore what's obvious in favor of what's lazy and easy.
I bet with some mud and that high intellect of yours, you could cure cancer before lunch, it's SO EASY! Thank ahead of time Brainiac, you're the hero we need but don't deserve. 🤡
@@RubyRose23328 the comment was most likely referring to the EA Play price increase
Who the heck is subscribed to EA anyway ??
I only do it occasionally when they have something I wanna play like Dead Space so I don't have to buy it but usually only for one month out of a year
It's included in gamepass, so in a way I'm subscribed to it 😅
True dat

That 3DS Smash issue reminds me of halo 3, after the server shutdown many lost their Recon armor since that required a server check. This is why we shouldnt rely on servers for our games content.
What's the solution to that problem?
@@robertfrost8264 For now modding is the only way to get them back, but its an annoyance we shouldnt have had to deal with in the first place. Games shouldnt have any aspect restricted to an external server, be it in game content and yes even multiplayer.
I still play Team Fortress 2 on my Xbox 360 and thats because it has peer to peer multiplayer rather than us connecting to some server Valve would have to keep running. Its better in the long run.
@@VEN0M415p2p is godawful in the long run so servers for multiplayer matches will always be necessary (for active games). when a game isn't being actively developed and supported a p2p solution works because the superior dedicated servers aren't necessary, there's probably going to be less players anyway. your content and progress should always be stored locally though
@@slaypartyof course p2p isn’t good, however I think every online game should have it as an option.
Because we know the servers will go down. And maybe people still want to play, though few.
I wonder if they will ever start putting expiration dates on games meaning once expired the game is gone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where there’s a will, there’s a wEAy
It would be more honest
If they do that they will effectively cut their sales in half or more heh. So I doubt it. Buying any digital content is not a good investment and never has been. It has no material presence. Expect to be robbed outright many many times in the future. And all of you are domesticated to accept it. Nobody starts any movements to deal with this. I've only seen one for The Crew. Nintendo needs to be stood up to about this SSB stuff as well.
PS Triple had a function to check expiration date on your downloaded game. Usually it just said Expires: - .
If I buy a Gold, or Premium edition it isn’t for the early play, it is to get the Season Pass.
Shutting down servers in fifteen years, you estimate? That's at least reasonable. I got WWE2K20 to be able to play as the Fiend Bray Wyatt as that's one of the couple games he was in. I purchased the physical game in late 2023. Three years after game release. They have already shut down the servers for this, denying me access to the part of the game you have to play to unlock said Fiend Bray. So even with my physical copy, only three years into existing, I don't have the full game. Ridiculous.
yeah, people complaining about the servers shutting down.... it's been 15 years, come on. That's more than enough time and probably those same people barely ever use their 3DS nowdays.
You bought WWE2K20?! Three years late?! The WWE game that was so thoroughly busted it inspired TWO Jim Sterling videos AND a Wha Happun?! The game that caused there to be no WWE2K21 for how awful it was?! I pity you.
@@CarbonRollerCaco I know, I heard about all that. I just wanted to play as The Fiend.
@@mos3That… wasn't the guy's point. Despite WWE2K20 not exactly being a shining example. We're talking about preservation and future use here. Not everyone that would ever be interested in gaming will necessarily be alive during a lot of the hits' heydays, and even many that will be around for certain games can still end up missing out on them for one reason or another; other things in life happen. And who are you to decide who plays what when?
@@CarbonRollerCaco I'm not telling anyone what they should or shouldn't play, I just think people over react to this. If it was Steam shutting down for good or something like that, then fine, that's your CURRENT game library, I can understand that. But the 3Ds and the WiiU? Isn't that pushing it a little too far? Nothing lasts forever. And it's not something exclusive to digital stuff. I have physical copies of PC games that don't work anymore because I guess the file system of newer operating systems can't read those files or something like that. There's no point in me complaining about that. If I want to play one of those games so bad I can always emulate or find a tutorial on youtube or something. I'm guessing this same thing must've happened with the wii? So why be surprised now when again, the services and/or the digital store for a very old console shuts down...
An all digital future is the total opposite of game preservation
Ironic because most games are preserved digitally.

God, I hope Nintendo (or the Japanese media) doesn't reject physical games in the future, and I hope that the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
That's my three fears about the next-gen Nintendo console, Denuvo/DRM crap, lack of backwards compatibility, and digital only console.
Tell that to PC gamers. Pretty much every game is preserved digitally and with a little work you can get any game you want to run. The distribution method isn't actually the problem here, it's overly aggressive DRM practices, planned obsolescence, antiquated copyright laws, etc.
Physical doesn't preserve games either since hardware gets damaged and breaks over time.
I got my hands on an old snes and played some super mario world with friends, haven't had this much fun in a long time
Most streaming services went up in price, except Tidal. Tidal emailed me that they are combining their subscription tiers into one, and that's at the base tier price.
Which just means it will go up later instead, "because of the value that was added earlier".
Man, hopefully there’s an Archive somewhere on The Internet with all of these games and DLC that are going missing lately…
They already exist. :) ROMs and ISOs ftw.
@@andino1152Yar! Raise yer flag, me hearty! The high sea are callin ya!
@@deltamaxxhomevideoCan’t go crying foul when gamers pirated the PSP to no end in spite of being in the “golden age of gaming”
The piracy and torrenting during the PSP days were insane. I love how !diots like you are suddenly taking the moral high ground when in fact during the more Sony consumer friendly days of the PSP, the PSP was pirated like crazy, hence why support from third parties dried up, hence hurting the software sales.
The double standards is real. People will pirate irregardless of what Sony or these corporations do.
People pirate because they can and because it is convenient to do so, not because of morality and ownership issues.
Don’t go pretending people pirate for game preservation or for morality issues fighting back against “anti consumer practices”
Gamers are NOT victims.
You are deluded if people pirate because of morality concerns. 🤡
Hshop
@@andino1152 Exactly.
I loved that in Dead Space Remake they actually included alot references from Dead Space Downfall anime, mostly characters and time frame. The original Dead Space game had only one or two!
What's sad is a truly wonder how many people even remember that anime existing at this point.
It's kind of like Dead Space extraction, I mean an on-rail shooter for the Wii based in the Dead space universe who remembers that. (It's an awesome game too)
@@JohnDoe-wq5euI love Extraction! It’s cool it got some form of follow up in the Severed DLC for Dead Space 2 (though they never brought that DLC to PC for some strange reason). Sadly Severed ends on a cliffhanger that not even Dead Space 3 touched on so fans of the series are being left on perpetual “but what about _____?!” mode.
Ross from Accursed Farms here on youtube just posted a video last week about his initiative (Stop Killing Games) to get the ball rolling on legislation to protect access to purchased games as property. He's targeting a couple different countries with it. He's got a website set up with links to make it easy for people to sign petitions and file complaints.
I'll sign the counter petition. We shouldn't be having the government get even more involved in our lives.
This is the only movement I've seen on the subject. It seems everyone has someone been domesticated to just throw their money away when it comes to digital content and the providers of said content are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank. SMHH!
@cjlister8508 "My wife got stabbed, but I don't want an investigation launched to find the killer. The government will just get in the way."
Yes this is a ridiculous comparison, but you made a ridiculous reply. How are we even meant to hold these companies responsible? Don't even try to suggest "vote with your wallet", as if our wallets hold more sway than investors'.
@@zeturkey4107 That is a ridiculous comparison that doesn't even warrant a reply.
@@cjlister8508 I literally called the comparison ridiculous myself in that very comment
I believe I have enough physical games in my backlog to last me for the next 20 years so I’m not worried about the digital future
Anyone find it interesting that EA are allegedly shelving Dead Space in order to work on an Iron Man game? DS released in 2008, same year as Iron Man 1 and even by DS2 Isaac Clarke's suit was essentially a copy of Tony Starks suit (without the repulsors)? Don't forget that DS has 0 gravity segments that mimic flying like Iron Man and both characters are skilled engineers working on mechanical and electrical machinery..
Hmm.. Stark... Clarke... Hmmm..
If you get a job then you won't overthink things that nobody cares about as much.
@@johntuel2375Good One
@@johntuel2375 don't know where that came from but hope you have a good day bro 👍
I haven’t trusted Jeff Grubb in a long time…..🤷♀️
EA: why didn’t Dead Space sell well?
Also EA: releases Dead Space in one of the most consistently stacked years for game releases of the past decade.
That's not EAs fault lol
January 2023 wasn’t stacked and was a decent time. The only noteworthy releases were hifi rush which was niche, forspoken which flopped, fire emblem and persona ports which are a different audience from dead space. People simply didn’t support dead space. This was the game to gauge interest and consumers didn’t vote with their wallet.
@@RubyRose23328 I mean, no. But, they also can’t be surprised either.
1. People hate EA.
2. EA changed too much about the Dead Space when they should have just released a remaster.
@@CruxisAngel954 here is the deal though, do you know why I didn’t buy Dead Space at launch? Inflation. I knew RE4 was coming, I knew Zelda was coming, I knew FFXVI was coming. I only have so much money to throw around.
Not to mention, this was January, so I was recovering my money after Christmas, as I am sure others were as well.
I can agree, not enough people turned up to support Dead Space, but you also have to remember that there were heavy hitters coming, and not everyone can afford to buy multiple games in as rapid succession as they were coming out.
Even physical copies of games don't come complete anymore. At least in the XB360/PS3 gen, most games would have a GotY edition wherein dlc was installable via 2nd, 3rd, etc disc. I miss that gen. Hopefully Nintendo has invested in cartridge expansion R&D where if a user downloads dlc and/or updates, it'll download directly to the cartridge and not the system's memory.
Btw for those with Evercades, we got news of a new update for the systems, and an end-of-production notice for Technos Arcade 1 and Codemasters Collection 1.
If Motive wanted to go and make Dead Space 4, I would be a fan of that idea. 3 ended on a big cliffhanger, and I would rather not wait however long to remake 2 and 3.
It's high time for every single videogame company to be held accountable for their dirtiest business practices, not just Nintendo, Ubisoft and EA. As Ross Scott accurately pointed out: this isn't about a mere racing game being delisted, it's about how videogame companies blatantly infringe our rights as their customers and constantly insult us with their never-ending greed.
How many more times is Jeff Grubb going to be wrong and people still believe the next thing he says?
I trust him more than Kat Bailey at IGN
Who is Jeff?

@@The_Garage_Gamer I don't trust Grubb at all. Literally everything I've heard him say the past 2 years has been wrong. Dude has been saying the Metroid Prim trilogy and Wind Waker are coming to Switch every December since like 2020 or earlier.
The UK price for EA Play is going from £20 to £36. An 80% increase. That's my subscription cancelled.
Iirc, you could link Smash 3ds and Wii U dlc, so you only needed one purchase to get dlc for both games.
I wonder how this issue effects that.
Bye bye
@@Matanumi ?
Dude the fact that it ran that well at 4k on the switch with just 4 GB of RAM is insane.
How are you not impressed?
Dude wtf. Time manipulation in Lost Crown was absolutely essential. It is just in every single aspect of the game.
Digital defenders becoming more and more quiet by the day.
Damn you Nintendo Fanboys for not buying and playing Dead Space remake.
My benchmark for an open-world game is: Can you swim and explore underwater? Additionally, the underwater setpieces should enhance gameplay. I understand that Star Wars isn't widely recognized for its underwater adventures, but ever since the underwater sections in The Phantom Menace, there's no excuse. Once again, what's the definition of an open world? I've been eagerly awaiting a genuine single-player open-world Star Wars game for so long!
Backwards compatibility is more important than ever now. The Wii U and 3DS being completely isolated from next-gen is really why this is a problem. If we can play Switch games on the next system, they'll have to keep them working as long as the next system is around, not just the old Switch.
It's strange how there isn't a class-action lawsuit against Nintendo or a petition to convince the EU to keep downloadable games and DLC up and running. Especially because customers pay full price for them and the hardware is still available and running.
EA straight up denied the Dead Space 2 remake cancelation report.
Yes, he went over that in the video.
@@Quinn-kr2cpoh, I must’ve missed that.
I'm glad Nintendo is getting flak for shutting the online servers down. They should have received more backlash for closing the eShops.
Nintendo receives flak for simply existing tbh
That's why the flak doesn't even work anymore.
Because they definitely didn't. /s
People cared less about the eShop because most games were still full price and you could get almost everything physically for cheaper with a few exceptions, or have a modded console and pirate everything. Online sucks more to loose but Pretendo exists so once again, who cares.
Nintendo fans are very much in denial every time they bite the hand that feeds them.
Luckily the PS fans are less forgiving and stopped the death of the PS3/Vita.
@@josetomascamposrobledano4618stop making this about fanboy wars. It's not the customer's fault whether a store survives or not. It's just corporate bullshit at the end of the day.
If the PS3 store survived is simply because they still had people buying stuff, otherwise they wouldn't have gone back on that decision.
Once it stops making money, it will go away too, just like the PSP store did.
Wonder if we’ll hear about your thoughts on the Fallout show on tomorrow’s episode
Anyone else notice when watching the video and it goes by a time stamp, you will get a “tick” rumble on their iPhone? Never noticed that before.
Wth? I never noticed until just now
i thought it was just me! mine feels a little more random than that
Just hack the 3DS you just need an SD card you no longer need the Mario kart 7 for the old models anymore if you have one of those
Those Ubisoft 3 days early titles still exist. Watch Dogs Legion, Far Cry 6, etc. As a retail employee who sells them, we maybe get 2 or 3 pre-orders for them then they'll send about 5 extra copies that sit on the shelf until they end up being clearanced out
Classic Jeff Grubb L
Have people forgot Prince of Perisa was originally a side scroller?
All these devs being put into the licensed safe IPs instead of working on more interesting unique IPs is such a depressing state of the industry.
The Smash DLC issue is yet another big reason why there's a movement towards protecting consumer's rights in gaming. Everyday I am realizing how much of gaming has not been preserved in this mostly digital era. I remember when i used to defend Bungie over sunsetting content but now I realize that it's an absurd chunks of content that no one can ever experience again and the only way of getting that story is through old youtube videos.
Didn’t even know ea had a subscription service. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll be picking up Star Wars Outlaws not this August, but next August when it's inevitably $20.
Me too. I did the same with with Jedi Survivor, Deadspace Remake, RE4 remake, etc. Being one rotation behind the new releases is pretty financially satisfying.
Thanks to gamepass I get EA Play thrown in so hopefully it won’t affect GP pricing
apparently the 3ds servers shut down around 4pm PST: around 3:15pm, I realized that it was THE DAY, so I scrambled to download any and all updates/demos. I was still able to download updates after 4:30pst,: so I wounder if Nintendo told us it was "4pm'", but actually the shut down was around 9pm pst. Gave us lazy bones an extra 5 hours "to get on it", basically.
Pirates drrr
@@Matanumi I mean, eventually I think ill hack my OG 3ds, I was just kinda wanting to get the updates from an "official" server, but then i was surprised their servers were still accessible after when I thought they were closing.
@@pizzagroom6221 Everything regarding digital games DLC and Updates have all been archived, so modding your consoles is a necessity now
@@Alorso_ like I said, im probably eventually gonna do it. I really regret not getting a legal copy of Hey! Ice King, Why'd you Steal Our Garbage". damn I love that title theme
Mod the 3ds then problem solved
Drrr
I really want Dead Space. But having limited disposable income for games is holding me back until I can jump on a sale. And even then, my backlog of games and time to play is a factor for me personally
3 Day early access means nothing when the games don't come out complete anymore. Nobody should be buying a game on release day anymore since its not going to be done for several months still. These companies need to learn that selling an unfinished product has consequences.
We're going to have to dub Schreier "the cleaner" because it seems like he has to clean up messes all the time from these insiders.
I hope they do a Dead space 2 remake. Loved that game.
You… didn’t you see the news?
The situation is a mess all around. Some say it was on development, others say it wasn’t.
But at the end of the day. Dead Space 1 R has been a critical success! But EA once again shows they don’t care about company image.
@@josetomascamposrobledano4618dude fr it’s so annoying. It’s like EA hates making easy money, JUST MAKE GOOD GAMES. But they can’t do that and when they do they don’t take it seriously
No. The second Dead Space runs and plays fine without EA wreaking further havoc on the franchise.
@@josetomascamposrobledano4618
It was not a success... It didn't sell well...
@@kennypowers1945 it didn't sell well. The blame gose to the gamers, not EA.
If digital content isn’t available to buy anymore, it should be legal to acquire it freely. I think I’d extend that to include, for instance, a Wii game that is also available on Switch as long as it’s the Wii version. I doubt there’s any way this could be compatible with copyright laws, though. This might only be possible via individual games’ end-user agreements, but no publisher would include a “You may pirate this after a certain time” clause.
Number one rule when it comes to Ubisoft games, never buy their games within the first 3 months because it'll be much cheaper later.
A portion of your audience may very well have no clue what you’re talking about when you mention cable packages…
In prep of the Wii/WiiU and DS stores going down,
I got hard drives and larger memory to literally go through my entire library of games; installing, updating and downloading all DLC so I would always be able to play them... man that took a lot of extra time 🎮
The more and more companies won’t let you keep what you purchase and own… the more pirates are born lol
That's strange and terrifying that dlc of Smash Bros Wii-U/3DS popped up after Nintendo shut down the Wii-U and 3DS E-Shop thing.
God, I hope Nintendo doesn't reject physical games in the future, and I hope that the next-gen Nintendo console isn't the last physical system.
Also, I hope indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores (such as PlayAsia and Book-Off for a example) will save physical media of video games, because indie game developers, AA game studios, and independent retail stores cares about you and listen to you.
Indie devs? Lol
Like more than 90% of indie games are digital only or start as such because indie devs want that additional revenue.
Indie devs don't give a shit about physical lol, why would they. Only in rare cases where it's a super popular game guaranteed to sell that makes its way to a platform where people whine about physical, aka a Nintendo console.
Pirate
@Matanumi or stop buying remakes/remasters of retro triple AAA games (including the Nintendo ones) and instead, start buying indie games and AA games.
Well it’s a good thing I already downloaded all my content on my Nintendo systems and haven’t deleted anything in years
The starwars name has no value anymore, or anticipation whatsoever. If anything it drags a company down to associate with them. People hear starwars, and think no thank you
Nintendo giving us more reasons to develop emulators and jailbreak our devices to save the DLC before they do this again... They do this so you have to re-purchase games on a newer system, which is why many people go through the trouble to get the files off their device and onto a computer so they use emulators.
Seems like the 3DS Smash DLC thing could be an honest oversight on Nintendo's part. But even so, Nintendo's support of Smash had been rather spotty, almost as if they don't see an all-gaming crossover fighter series as a "real" franchise worthy of full care unlike their other stuff.
Dead space has been one of my favorite horror games since the original three titles. The Dead Space remake is more than just remake since they made heavy changes in the games layout and narrative and I highly recommend any fan of horror to give Dead Space a try.
Holy! Loving to see Prince of persia -series getting this much attention from ubisoft.
It's kind of a shame that we don't get a series of Prince of Persia games.
The Switch... If it can do native 1080p and locked 60 fps with its games I think it'll be enough. Trying to brute force it and hardware modding it to do 4K is a bit much.
Of course EA would raise its prices. Honestly who actually pays for these kind of subscription service? Just buy the select few games that interest you. It's better to actually own your games instead of having yet another streaming service with tons of games; most of which you realistically won't play.
That sucks that 3DS Smash Bros DLC is no longer downloadable. Nintendo should have a better service to handle stuff like this.
If this is what happened with the 3DS version, the Wii U version probably will be impacted like this.
Nintendo really has a crappy policy with preservation. Relying on severs is not the best.
For the 3DS version, it wouldn't be so bad if they _at least_ re-released a 'definitive' version with all the DLC included in the cartridge.
But really, Nintendo just assumed that most people would've just moved on to the Switch version and not cared about previous gen versions.
I _really_ hope that this isn't true about the Dead Space series.
They least they should've done is a remake for Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3.
Even if they skip Dead Space Extraction and Dead Space Ignition, if they can remake 2 and 3 most fans would be happy.
Talked about doing Dead Space 2, but decided not to at this time. That is shelving it in my book.
I think the only people that would care about getting games a little early are streamers and social media reviewers who want to be the first to showcase a game.
Jon, why are you speaking at two times spee-?! Oh wait. I dripped water on my screen.
its as if the subscription model when combined with publicly traded companies is unsustainable but we will all pretend its ok right up till its collapses in on itself
Nintendo continuing to prove physical is the only way to own your purchase.
Considering that the original Dead Space 2 got yanked from a lot of people's EA libraries in the past week (mine included), something has to be happening.
Can you tell me more?
@@ItsjustBlackJackhere A number of people have had DS2 removed from their libraries. EA says it's aware of the problem. That's about it.
@@dhphoto oh i thought they're would be more, thanks for replying though sounds weird and like a coincidence about the remake
No matter how interested I am in a game, I won't pay to play it early. Games these days in the UK is £70 RRP and you want me to pay more? Pass.
Finally someone else gets it. The corporate greed is disgusting.
Sure there is no proof of Dead Space 2 Remake ever being a thing, but these news give me a bit of a PT vibe. Every time we get something great that gives us hope for the future, everything about it gets canned and it gets replaced by something bad instead, most likely something live service related.
These are the risky shots EA took in the last year: Wild Hearts (a Monster Hunter World clone), Dead Space Remake, Immortals of Aveum, etc
None of them sold altho not a single one was a live services game or had mtx.
As much as we blame EA, on some level it's kinda our fault they're the way they are.🤔
Although I do agree we as gamers hold some fault, none of these were marketed well. It’s hard to buy a game when you don’t know about it.
EA has also destroyed their reputation for so long, why would we expect people to jump right on these games. They have no one to blame but themselves. Maybe if they keep making games like this, people could eventually come back around.
Yeah, it's the CUSTOMERS fault EA makes mediocre games that don't sell well and it's the CUSTOMERS fault they don't trust EA anyways! 🙄
"Blame the customer!" is the anthem of awful leadership and often times stupid, reactionary people that don't have a clue what they're talking about.
You failed to mention the thousand other reasons gamers (rightfully!) aren't interested in EA *anything* and how EA has NO ONE to blame but themselves for their reputation as greed personified.
Yeah "poor wittle EA", after nearly twenty years of being total gaming ass cancer, they FINALLY got a reputation so bad, even "decent" games don't sell well. And your "solution" is blame US for it?
GTFHO.
@@jessekoepp3928 🤨How did EA get to be 1 of the largest 3rd party publishers?

Or is their current state due to customer behavior over that same timeframe?
@@jessekoepp3928 You can only blame the corporations for so long, if consumers didn't buy in to these kinds of practices they wouldn't keep selling them, so yes the consumers do hold some level of responsibility
Not buying any new games I don't own and can't play in the future.
😂

What the heck… shelved the remake because of sales??? That game was so popular when it came out. EA wtf are you doing to my favorite series?????
I think the gaming industry as a whole is going to be in big trouble if things keep going this direction. Especially on consoles. I'm not interested in buying a temporary game that can be shut down any time later down the line. The greed is becoming insulting and that's when it usually crosses the customers line
Never trust nintendo to maintain any server. Dump your stuff and keep forever
Aka, trust the developers/employees of Nintendo, not publishers/localizers of Nintendo.
EA Games? No Thank's.
EA seriously shut down a great game, but launch and provided a large sum of amount on immortals of aevum which was a massive flop.
Yeah the 3DS situation is basically mod it to protect your purchases lol.
How does EA define lack luster sales?
Rumors around internet go around 2mil.
The prophecy made by EA marketing(probably) department was 5mil.
No remake of Dead Space 2 is a bad move
RIP Dead Space 😢 Gamers did not know you well......
EA managed to kill the Dead Space franchise twice for the same reason. Thanks a lot. (:
About outlaws..
I dont wanna hear her say shes been held back her whole life. I wanna see her struggle and go through hardships and have people hate her guts and overcome things through actual effort. I dont want another Rey where evreyone loves her and shes perfect with no flaws!!
When you charge £70 for a remake for a game from 2008 you will get low sales.
I might have grabbed Outlaws because the Jedi series has been good so far. But then the community manager over at EA said some really stupid and inflammatory stuff and I am done paying people to insult me.
The fact of the matter is when it comes to EA/Dead Space 2. Remake.
If in fact Motive was only in the very early pre-conception phase, and also considering the fact that their Iron Man game was announced not to long after they began work on Dead Space Remake, than it makes sense to pause work on Dead Space 2 Remake in order to focus on finishing up Iron Man.
Everyone is claiming that the remake flopped. Yet from what I've heard/read was that EA was said to have been happy with the remake's performance.
Time will tell of course if this tends to be the case, but don't forget like 2 weeks or so after the remake launched, EA sent out surveys asking if fans would like to see remakes of Dead Space 2 and 3....
Also, considering how many times Jeff Grubb has stated/hammered home the fact that the KOTOR remake was cancelled and due to the recent quote from Saber's CEO makes that statement null and void. Everything he says should be taken with a HUGE ass grain of salt.
I disagree that Iron Man would sell more than Dead Space. I think it would have to be marketed well and show promise for a super hero game
technically with the whole smash bros 3ds thing, because of the way updates are done, even if you don't have the dlc, the characters themselves are still in the game in case you encounter someone with the dlc online. So, you could potentially hack the game to enable these characters whether you bought it or not.
Rumor they've shelved DS2 Remake wouldn't be surprised because EA think Star Wars and Marvel are more fking important.
The issue with DS1 Remake was the performance problems the stuttering was a mess and they never fixed it at all
Talking about Forza and the wheel setup.... Ive had a setup since christmas, but I never got it working. I got it working this morning, and spent the last 5 hours doing donuts and burnouts without spending a penny in actual gas. WOOT WOOT!
The 3DS DLC situation was obvious, didn't this EXACT same thing happen when other online shops shut down permanently? This isn't he 1st 2nd or 3rd time that this has happened.
Sad to hear Dead Space is shelved atm. The remake is so good. Hope the series makes another comeback after those other projects Motive are working on are out of the way
I'm excited for Star Wars Outlaws. I'm buying the physical stranded ps5 version in August. The trailer looked awesome, and besides the three day thing and the different pricings, I don't understand the weird hate.
Don't forget you can't install the game without internet connection for the DRM. Meaning the disc is completely useless. If ubisoft decide to not support the game anymore ( like the crew) you can't even install the game. It pretty much like those download code in the box release. Do not support this company
Nothing exciting about that game.
Research
@@andrew8168 you are wrong
I'm expecting the deluxe early access to go from just 3 days to a week or more within a year
In the UK the price of EA Play went up by an insane 80%!
When the servers come offline forever all dlc should be made free.
"What would sell more; a new Deadspace, or, Iron Man?"
I hate that the answer to this question is always some kind of overproduced Marvel/Disney property.
We need fresh IPs, new experiences, and originality. I am exhausted of these overshadowing properties from monstrously bloated organizations being the safe bet because out of control publisher/developer budgets demand a predictable ROI - and what franchises have more historical sales data on them than something like a Disney property?
New ideas need a chance and the stranglehold Disney and other established properties have on massively talented gaming studios right now is downright sad. Incredible talent being shoehorned into yearly releases of Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, and Madden, or, being cornered into it financially because the market is so thirsty for the same-same bullsh!t that studios like Respawn Entertainment and Insomniac abandon their own fresh IPs in favor of Star Wars or Spiderman... it's so depressing to me. If I were working there, I'd probably quit if I went from making Titanfall to being a Disney b!tchboi working on yet another Star Wars.
I don't mean to speak for the developers themselves since I'm sure they're happy to take the paycheck, have the security in this turbulent industry that a monster like Disney can provide, and many are probably fans of these franchises... but as a gamer I am so tired of seeing the same brands shoved in my face when we could be getting some fresh new take on Titanfall, or, a new Infamous... I mean it's thanks to Infamous and Sunset Overdrive that Insomniacs Spiderman games are so good - they've decades of experience with that open world traversal and flashy third-person combat. Seems like a waste to sell out all that talent to a company like Disney if you ask me.
I hope one day companies like Respawn Entertainment, Insomniac, and Infinity Ward get the freedom they deserve to express their creative talents without the need for shackling themselves to a mega-corp what's milking their utters with calloused hands and slapping their own label on the sweet gaming juice that squirts out.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
