What is the solution to this quandry that would require government intervention? Your ability to vote with your wallet and abstain from purchasing a thing is not dictated by the purchase patterns of others because literally nobody is requiring you to purchase the thing. This is especially true where there are alternatives to the thing in question. The image Sae posted is evidence not that there is some sort of market-side wrong that needs intervention or correction but rather that the consumer is willing to ascribe a higher value to the name and franchise than to the fleeting demand for addition of a supposedly missing feature.
The image pepsi posted was that people are funny.
Wow EA shill detectedcaptain sawrge wrote:Just buy games you like and don't buy ones you don't
I mean, this is pretty much where I come down too. I've managed to go my entire life without playing a Cowadoody because I simply didn't care. It doesn't hurt me any not to play it and it doesn't hurt me any that there are people who choose to play it. I'm very content with the games I do play and hope I can encourage more like them in the future by supporting them.captain sawrge wrote:I can name at least 5 Early Access and/or crowdfunded games released in the past year that have been good and enjoyable games without scummy business models that were only realized through consumers supporting them
Consumers still hold power over what does and does not get made and even if the majority vote for darth vader roulette there will always be smaller names that want to and need to make good and fairly marketed games for smaller audiences
Origin Systems Inc. made:FantasticFwoosh wrote: Those two studios (origin is a 'literally who to me') basically printed money with appraised good quality investments, gold-dust
Its like Warner Bros, at the end of the day; studio executives, deadlines & rushing have collectively managed to fuck up most studios and business practices to the brink of breaking them entirely or affecting the product. New studios, same shitty company.
They're basically a Japanese territory at this point.CosmicScientist wrote:return rightful clay. They still have our flag.
