He seems intelligent,that si a good thing when commenting on games.
Most of his opinions/points i mentioned 15+ years ago.
IDC how a dev studio labels their cash shop ,cosmetics,boosts or wahtever it is a cash shop end of story.
As Kira mentioned ,once you allow it to happen the studio thinks ok let's do some more and it keeps snowballing until it is no longer a cash shop that anyone accepts.
I also like how he mentioned Blizzard and Wow because I personally noticed the ever increasing greedy changes within Blizzard but i think it has gone over others heads.
So back on the cosmetics and i mentioned it a long time ago and that if a game has assets and i am buying that game,i want ALL the assets,your not selling me 80% of the game and keeping the other 20% to sell me in the cash shop,that is BS.
I also like how he talks a lot about the people that act like they DON'T CARE,or i don't spend it doesn't affect me.Well you SHOULD care and it DOES affect you.This is how we get to this point all the devs THINK they can now ustilize cash shops becuase it is being accepted.
NO.....NO hell no,it is NOT being accepted all ,it is being accepted by the idiots who don't care.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The point is that these greedy over top monetary ideas are doing NOTHING for quality fo the games,they only serve one purpose GREED at the top of the exec food chain.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
So like Kira..I CARE and it pisses me off,but his speech in this video will fly right over 99% of the gamers heads.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
It's a PvP game where you can get better/faster by buying account boosts? Thats a red flag to me.

Wouldn't be surprised if they did that with costumes, eventually.
Anyways, in Granado Espada, cash shop boosts during pvp wars were pretty much mandatory for all sides involved. The devs claimed it wasn't p2w because they were tradeable so you could buy them from other players. *eyeroll*
it says for leveling expereince , Everyone will be at endgame in 6 weeks , so IMO who cares
The crafting boost is definitely a "big deal" since not everyone engages in it in any game, but hey, who needs an economy anyway.....The fact that they are even talking about boosts when the game isn't even out yet, should be a red flag, but that's just the times we live in now.
sorry couldn't resist.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

Consumers need to support consumers as the company only cares about your money.
Perhaps you are correct, BUT this also leads to cash shop creep.... ESO is particularly bad for it.... Lockboxes, Recipes only available on cash shop, mounts that are only available using a currency earned from break down random items you get from chests?
TESO is a great game to look at on WHY we shouldn't sit idly by and say everything is fine and normal.
None of us are organised enough to make a difference. Enough people support a game that it makes enough money and these things just proliferate. The mistake started when we taught companies to stop at just having subscriptions. So now not only do they have subscriptions but it is just not enough so they sell stuff on the cash shop and it becomes egregious to a point that only the whales can play.
I try to play without buying anything except the subscription but I occasionally am guilty of buying some things too so we just have to play and accept what we can because the next game will be worse.
Pat yourselves on the back for leading the charge when you demanded companies stop charging a sub.
Im always ready to take a shit on devs when they make weak gameplay but I think players expect more than what's reasonable from buy to play games.
nothing I read there was gamebreaking or even unreasonable considering it has no subscription.
