How many of us can remember the days when we never had to bother with the "business model questions" of our games? A fairer age by far.
Not that many!
But let's be honest, F2P started …
Once Human made me realize that a gacha game with "fair" systems, where the gacha currency is time gated instead of purchased, is still a gacha game and I still hate it
But what *can* you buy with that 50$? You had EOD, so you have Arena. You don't want Unheard. Is the second best new package better than EoD? I'm confused. Tarkov isn't the kind of game with plenty of things to buy with in-store credit.
Cool and all, but I'll be surprised when CDPR releases "an extra thing" that's a fresh idea of their own making, instead of being a pat on their own back like: "Look, gamers, they won't do it? WE'RE doing it!"
The only reason why this is clearl…
That's probably the stupidest thing I've seen them do in a while. 1-50 is the only time in EQ where you can truly molo 100% worry free, without needing anything, at an acceptable pace. It really doesn't take long to get to 50. Definitely not 2500 DB…

I'll agree his wording could have been better. If you have good enough programmers to produce such a clean game, they can also work o…
All of this information is great if you have thousands to drop on a dream.
If not (most people), it means nothing for at least 5 more years or something.
I never understood why these projects gate their testing and core design feedback by …
I read all this and I have zero idea what these grand changes are. Not even a slightest clue. Is it just a huge paragraph basically saying they're putting solos, but they're still salty about adding it into the game so they need this grand story abo…
Is that what they do now? Harp on another popular franchise for engagement? Cool. I mean, it's actually cool in the sense that Mass Effect probably makes the most sense at least. It's not a Super Mario Bros collab. The skins are probably pretty cool…
I think any product, past 10 years, has to start getting a bit more creative. They had a really impressive run, to be fair. In the sense that, in 10 years, they have almost never shifted away from the exact same formula, patch-to-patch. X.0 adds thi…
"The Blizzard PR strat" is getting so damn tiring, man. They have multiple games that had this same dogshit-to-okay-to-pretty-good progression in development...

Square Enix is no stranger to garbage, lowest tier gacha and their 20 "sequels" (reskin) of that one mobile game. An Apex collab was truly a match made in heaven, it seems. Hell, they probably don't like that people can hit a pity and get it guarant…
I'm all in for meaningful changes on the formula. It's getting stale. I know that'll never happen, but I'm hopeful that one day they either get risky and try new things again, or just make a new FF MMO.
Their focus on turning the game into a si…

The good thing about a project that failed multiple times, never reaching any substantial amount of players, is that people don't actually know this existed and shafted the few that supported it more than once
Sure, "it's back..."

They've backed themselves into a corner. When the game wasn't *that* popular, most of its life, they just played around with specs like playdoh. They didn't add much, they did add challenging content. This formed a meta and now, since this was basic…
