Off-topic, anyone remember the early days of rockpapershotgun? Goddamn i miss the stylings of the og writers. Now it's just another game site but I'll never forget some of their early pieces
Yeah, they had a really good thing going on and it's sad that it didn't last.
Guess I will stick to warframe, No Man's Sky and BG3.
Just recently start Skyrim again, with a laundry list of mods, of course.
In the grand scheme of nickel-and-diming I wouldn't call this abysmal
This is the mentality that ruins it for the rest of us. It's shameful.
Well scratch that off of a game I will ever play
Don't buy these predatory games, refund if you did. Stop supporting these scummy companies, it's the only way they will learn.
they have been doing this for a while. at least since dragons dogma online. In monster hunter worlds I used cheats to give myself the cosmetic edit currency item but no idea if that works in any others.
DD2 is highly cheatable and moddable, the cash shop is just a really poor joke honestly. The game has absolutely no way to check for cheating unless you give your pawn equipment they can't actually use or edit their stats to be something impossible.
Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.
Only legislation will fix this.
That's what you want to fix? Companies trying new monetization strats?
Variations on a scam.
It's not exactly a scam, though, is it. Are the game companies committing fraud?
When people can pay ten times the cost of a whole-ass game, for one tiny thing in a game they already bought, and any one game pushes a thousand such absurd schemes - scam is the closest word I know.
The money being taken is hilariously disconnected from any form of value or cost, even when it's not something literally free, like letting you modify your own character on your own computer. It was a bit much when The Sims and a couple expansions could run you a couple hundred dollars. When buying everything in one generic game totals the cost of a fucking house, that's a crime with more steps.
