what is fucking hilarious is that he is this preacher that code isn't that bigga deal it can suck and instead of taking a w and saying hey its a game i dont care lol/didnt watch the video dont care, he has to be butthurt and salty lmfao
Initiative: We want to cure cancer, here is how we will go about it!
The wake-up call was the statement from the European lobbyists. I always thought they killed games because they genuinely didn't think people would miss them, due to the rapid gamer culture of "next thing please." But no, they actually want the right to delete them just to save on AWS credits?
When you remember that she was one of Reviewtechusa's friends it makes alot of sense.
It's not even that complicated. Video game companies simply don't want to compete with themselves, and given the nature of the video game industry, it is very likely that their older games are better than their new games. Or rather, they don't have the ability to control the quality variable because they are at the mercy of their retarded employee pool.
They already do everything they can to dissuade people from playing previous CoDs. They're still full price on all storefronts(black ops 2 is 13 years old yet its still $60 on steam). Hackers usually overrun matchmaking when the game gets old enough as well.
1: They also profit off of how much of planned obsolesce is taking place
it's funny how common I see this argument as well, but it's funnier how you can easily you can disarm it with a single line:
Very funny that they use the 'safety' excuse for being anti-SKG while simultaneously abandoning their old online games to the very same dangerous dogs. It almost feels like mafia tactics!
Sorry, too hard, can't be done. Would be unfair to other studios to make them work so hard!
Or maybe because Publisher are more interested in mergers, IP acquisition, and cost cutting over employee retention?
It's like when Auntie gets you an expensive birthday present that pisses your parents off so they have to tell you 100 times 'you better thank your Aunt because you are NOT getting any more gifts like this!!' lmfao
I think this is the real issue most of the anti-initiative people have in understanding it; they may not believe the industry on everything but they do believe that these games MUST require support, and devs can't provide it forever. It's just an unfortunate reality!
I'm convinced at this point it is some indian marketing firm hired by the lobbyists. The arguments always miss the point and try to misrepresent what the initiative is, it's always the same lies based on things people generally agree on (indie good, communism bad).
Which is why you can get devs from one of the worst gaming companies (Ubisoft) leave and make one of the best games of the year (Clair Obscur)
Well yeah, that's c-suite's job. Game Devs are underpaid because we are at the ass-end of the game dev gold rush, so now there are too many of them and not enough roles to fill.
