Ubisoft's new garbage isn't even worth pirating
True, but it will probably have Denuvo so nobody can pirate it anyway.
When you see stuff like this, it starts to make sense why some people lost their Ubisoft accs due to inactivity.
@@Foxaris denuvo's crackable tho 🤔
@@Foxaris It will be cracked sooner or later, denuvo is useless it will only make them gain some time
@@Foxaris *ejem* EMPRESS *ejem*
$1 per bullet is getting closer than we thought….
Knowing Ubisoft, those greedy bastards will try that scheme.
Team Fortress 2 were visionaries and we just took it as a Meme.
in 2020, fmj for 9mm were almost $1 a pop. After the election, everyone bought ammo because democrats like to ban everything, so everyone bought all the ammo. I used to be able to get 1k rounds for $160 shipped before the fire nation attacked. During covid they were like $700-800. Prices never dropped that low since.
Only melee run let's goooo,... Or until they paywalled melee attack
We gotta get through $1 per magazine first
The fact that it's not even worth pirating makes it funnier 😂
better play pou on my android
Here in Brazil, the base edition is 1/4 of the minimum Salary. The ultimate edition is like half the minimum Salary. These prices are skyrocketing up, while the games quality goes way down
you should run from this sh*thole
In Ukraine the base edition is 1/3 of the minimum Salary🙃
@@you_disappear in the US the base edition is 2 hours pay of work for the average American. You guys should move to the US 🤣
cara, muito doido pensar que pra eles é 100 dolares e pra nós seria "500 dolares" kkkkkkkkkkkkkk que doidera.
Mas aqui uma boa parte do preço do jogo é composto por impostos... o que não muda o fato de que é ridiculamente caro.
But here a good chunk of the price are taxes... which doesn't chagen the fact that it's ridiculously expensive.
You know Ubisoft, you’re absolutely correct.
I AM getting used to not owning your games… because i’m not fucking buying them.
Holy based
He also said in the same interview that they made a shitton of money from Ubisoft+ subscribtion. Yeah, Ubi don't want you to buy their games. They want you to buy subscribe and "rent" their games. Why people miss this simple detail and still trying to be a smartass like "yeee i ain't buying yo games i'm super smart fuck you ubisoft"....
Same, and suits me just fine!
@@DefensiveLimestone Yeah the entire point of the comment from Ubisoft was that if subscription services are to take off in gaming, than most people need to get comfortable with not owning their games. A compromise people have already decided in the movie industry and others, but not the gaming industry. That's why gaming subscription services haven't really taken off. Even Game Pass isn't doing the numbers Microsoft wants, and that's literally the biggest gaming subscription service. Shit, most people that DO have it mostly have it due to it being coupled with other benefits. Like the ability to play online, for instance, considering most gamers play a handful of games or less.
People are so fucking stupid and only read headlines from rage-baiting pseudo-journalists.
@@TheToffeni used gamepass for a year, the initial value was good, but over time the big budget games added where all gatbage(less tham 50% reviews on steam) and the fact that you still had to purchase DLC for games that you don't own made me cancel my sub. Also there is zero localization in pricing, if i wanted to buy a game i had to pay double the steam price.

I'm more of a D battery guy
Btw they will use Denuvo to protect the game and avoid piracy so the retail version will run at arounnd 60 fps where a pirated release will run the game at max performance
It's another reason not to buy this game. lol
Don't forget possible CtD's, BSoD's and potential loss of information on your drives.
Gotta love that "bonus pack" included in EVERY VERSION, even in the standard. How the heck can it be a "bonus" if it's part of the actual standard game release.
weird how there's been a massive rise in people playing older games where they can just ... play a complete game ...
hey bonus a lot of those early access greenlight games are finally finished so its a great time and play the ones you funded in early access for the last 10 years.
Only old games/early access/indie games for me. Cheap and mostly reliable fun.
@@piele1982 Larian seems to still be OK but many game studios are not OK.
@@NogrimStoneson thats if those games havent been shut down while in early acces... cough cough marvel, anthem and all the others that dont come to mind at this moment
Having a great time play Age of Empires 3 DE, which is feature complete. AoE4 lack good single player content unfortunately.
Don't pirate this game. Don't play it. Don't play any other new Star Wars games. Don't buy any more Ubisoft games. Let the franchise, publisher, and studios die. Spend your time and money on better things made by people who respect you. Learn to code and make better games yourself.
Helldivers 2 is worth everyone's money
This game will have denuvo, so no hope to even pirate it. XD
This
No one will be pirating this anytime soon.
the jedi games from respawn worth playing tho despite all the broken launch of survivor it actually is a good game with good story
What`s even worse are lack of regional pricing for some countries, for example Balkan countries are literally paying the same prices as Germany, when minimum wage over here is around 300 euros and in Germany its around 1500 euros.
Modern gaming is ruined, as you can see by these editions, few extra outfits and 2-3 extra missions are priced the same as the whole Standard game, like wtf?
I'm honestly not even playing certain games anymore because of things like this.
"If you buy a game at launch, you're paying the most amount of money for the worst version of the game"
sometimes. Yet sometimes it will launch extremely well and you'll miss out and get the whole game spoiled because your being stingy with money

I’m calling it now:
Buggy/Broken on launch
Servers not working by start of Early Access
Time Savers and PTW micro-transactions at launch
In-Game Store works perfectly Day 1
And what sucks is that Massive is a great developer. Whatever is bad about the game will most likely be due to Ubisoft's fuckery.
I'm calling it now:
Sells great Day 1.
All your favorite streamers playing the early access version Day 1.
You watching them play Day 1.
Everyone complaining about the greed; eyeballs glued to the screen; wallets open.
Servers for a single player game? - Yes, we wanted to enrich the customer experience by providing daily store updates and timed "special offers".
But why can't I play it offline? - Why would you want to play it if you can't buy anything, silly?
Will revisit this post with hopes that you're wrong...
@@thedarkemissary You wont be catching me play this cashgrab, also wont be catching me watch someone else play the cashgrab
Ubisoft has been doing this type of shenanigans for a while now with their new games. For example you should check out their last Watch Dogs Game and Far Cry 6 game for pricing in multiple versions.
Them there's the fact them and other developers offer most times an art book / soundtrack as a deluxe edition bonus now with not much else. While most games use to have these as preorder perks even worse these artbooms and soundtracks usually loop back to signing up for a developer's or publisher's exclusive store/site to use the codes or download the digital artbooks/soundtracks.
And the final low is when Ubi deletes the game from your account like they did with "The Crew".
Asmon forgot that for $109.99 you will also get a ChatGPT apology included in the game package since the game will be a buggy not playable mess
i bet its already written
How desperate is Ubisoft for money
Yes
very
...For literally doing what the rest of the world is doing?
People, stop whining about companies wanting money, when you yourselves are feeding this broken bullshit economy.
let alone when you're watching a homeless man, pretending to live in a house and somehow having amassed way too much money for one person, pretending to be upset about companies wanting to make money.
How stupid are you people?
desperate enough to do shit like this but not enough for prostitution
And people still buys it 😂
that's not really it tho, keep in mind that the price stays the same for EVERY country, even people who's NORMAL monthly pay is WAY less then others., ie. country 1 normal salary 2k a month. game costs 60. country 2 normal salary 1k a month, game still costs 60. some just can't afford multiple "triple A" games
srsly this is why i can't buy any game (unless price drop) ... it so stupid to put for example Africa price equally to usa ...
only famous streamers/youtubers should pay that amount in the pre-order , not regular ppl...
Activision is the king of them all...
they should do it like streaming where every country has a different price tag, tho i think they would use VPN to buy games cheaper
@@CB_4 steam will ban you for using vpn to change store location , don't know about other platforms.
In fact I have a long list of older games that I want to play anyway. Like I got OG content to play (and re-play) for like 3y :)) so... rarely that I buy something new anyway and if it's good only (such as Elden Ring)
The fact that they already have the dlc named, means it is most likely content cut from the game, and should not be dlc. People got really pissed at BioWare for doing this with Mass Effect.
Yep, they clearly had the big wigs up top telling them to cut the game up to make DLC's & season passes to get as much money out of the customers as they can.
Best thing we can do is not buy anything from Ubisoft anymore but that won't stop other studios pulling the same trick.
is not even cut content, they make the dlc at the same time with the full intention of being dlc
just look at Creative Assembly 🤷
@@verguco6051 and there is nothing wrong about this...people forget that at the end of the day this is just a busines.
@@goodguy8556 guess you aint played Manor Lords then , solo dev, stunning game, runs well vs what tat that these top flight studios drop, has not needed 50GB update on day 1 to run! literally a solo dev 7 years to get to early access of his time, to drop something that has sold over 1M copies and had over 170K concurrent players on steam at once, yeh great game top flight studios!
oh and is priced VERY WELL under £30!, not these CRAZY prices from Ubi!
Disney ran Star Wars into the ground, we don't care about it anymore. The greed from these guys is embarrassing.
I had fun in the EA Battlefront 2. For a time, they even added a lot of free content till they got canned.
Kathleen Kennedy will go down in history as the woman who, through impossible odds, did everything so wrong she killed the biggest franchise ever, Starwars. It was so big to fail and yet she and her cronies have brought it to the brink of insignificance.
@@michaelbread5906 thats kinda the thing, it took so much disapointment from the players for them to even consider making the game kinda good
A developer of Star Wars Outlaws has just recently started running their mouth about hating white men. She's also said white man should not buy the game because it wasn't made for them. Man, saying this kind of shit is like a reoccurring theme with these people. I'm constantly reminded why gatekeeping is a good thing and that gaming going mainstream was the worst thing that could have happened to it. It's become nothing but a political and ideological platform for people that hate gaming and gamers.
theyll just blame the gamers and anti-sbi crowd and then move on
disney is already blaming movie critics anyway and of course disney will blame the gamers when it bombs
That's because you didn't saw the prices in Brazil and compared them with our minimum wage...
That's why I never bought Ac Valhalla deluxe edition: each gigabyte of game costs 1 euro... and that game weights 150 GB.
Disney: "Make them suck and make them lame"
Ubisoft: "You won't be disappointed"
funny enough the new southpark game is following its footsteps 🤣 30$ for 4hrs of content
Ubisoft: Yes my lord
They put a chick in it.
Did they make her gay?
@shackleddown2381 that's not comparable to 150 dollars for this absolute slop
Can we go back to the time when the premium price was justified because the set came with bundles of physical items like a hardcover art book, an original soundtrack CD, apparel and a figure?
No! You'll buy our day one DLC loot boxes with only a 1 in 100,000 chance of getting anything you want and you'll like it. But don't worry they come in bundles of 10 for 1,000 platinum coins which can be bought for 1,900 for $10 or 10,999 for $60, what a deal!
I've never bought a premium edition of a game in my life, but the halo 3 legendary edition with chief's helmet was pretty sick.
You still got it, if you buy Physical Game for PS5 at Japan
got elden ring with art book , soundtrack cd + Miniature
Same at Final Fantasy 7 Remake
i got FF Concept art and Soundtrack + Dev Commentary
@@SheaSyz I guess good games will be exceptions lol
@@SheaSyz Lucky devil
the locked mission is probably cut content that wasn't good enough
Buying one tank in world of tank cost between 30 up to 70 $ (not exact prices, but approximation).
When games were on cd or dvd, the whole game price was around 30$ . . .
People used to make fun of the fact that one day we will have day one dlcs. Now, it's common practice. If a game comes out and you need pay extra for the full game then the game is 110$ and you can chose to pay less for less of the game
That argument is only gonna make devs release the DLC later even if it's finished so it doesn't look like we're paying "less for less of the game". So they can still find ways to screw us over.
@@cHowaitothe point of a dlc always was extra content that was developed after realising the game and not to hold back some content from the game to sell it later as dlc. Also usually the dlc is separated from the main story, but this sounds like they just looked some story mission from the main story behind a 40 $ paywall.
Personally for me the worst thing is regional pricing for example palworld, hades and other indie games have regional pricing but triple games are always 70$ even after 2 years they go on at most 50% sale after the game is dead
Not that people care about discs anymore, but does anyone remember the alternative version of DLC, Disc Locked Content. I.e. content that is already on a disc (or today, in the game files), but can't be accessed without paying more.
People really should start using this term again, even in the days of downloads. Its spiteful nature should please those of us who abhor dlc as a concept. (bring back the days of actual expansions ffs.)
@@llukas0906 I think your argument would be correct if you were talking explicitly about full expansions. However the stuff called "DLC" was originally about small things that often looked as if they had been cut from the game so they could be sold later. This was a hallmark of early dlc. They were little things that at the very least appeared to have been cut and then parted out like a stolen car, regardless if they were or were not. They were low effort crap churned out to make more money. Their small nature was why the term 'microtransaction' could legitimately apply to them (somewhat, it should refer to transactions under a dollar or under a couple of bucks, the amount changes depending on who you ask, but is always very small, smaller than you would use a credit/debit card for at a store... think minimum purchase amount).
Somewhere along the lines people have conflated these little tidbits (think horse armor) with actual proper expansions (to keep with Oblivion, think Shivering Isles) and since it is all downloaded these days, just started calling it all dlc. When you look at the individual words, it is accurate as it is downloaded/downloadable and it is content. However when you look at what the term was used to describe prior to this conflation, it is clear that it refers to a very specific type of content and that it wasn't being applied to larger pieces of content like actual expansions until later on.
DLC should only be used to refer to the small stuff (if at all tbh). Expansion for the big stuff. If you want an encompassing term, something akin to 'plugin' could be used for the whole spectrum of post-launch content. (hell, using PLC, Post Launch Content would work pretty well)
20 years ago you could download a demo of practically every game to try first, then buy if you like....now you just get scammed
And the demos were usually so good you kept them in your huge game disc binder to play again sometimes.
Well, but if you play the demo you will discover how bad is the optimization, there will be a lot of bugs and you will find how bad the history is!
They cannot have demos 😂😂😂
I pretty much use pirated versions of games as demos. If I really like them I buy them.
You think it's expensive but here in Brazil the game costs R$600.00 and the minimum wage is R$1,000.00
In Chile, bc of our money going lower compared to usd, it's costing around 90 dollars the basic one, and then the rest is almost 180 usd lol
This is why if you’re a real OG you don’t buy a game for five years after release and then get it all fixed up with the DLC‘s for 20 bucks
It me.

even me. even when there is just extra content locked behind the same price as the game.
i remember when cod had those crate bundles you could pre order that came with a bunch of shit. those cost around 100 something back then. scary how you get less for more nowadays
It is a very simple psychological trick used in so many other markets already (eg. Popcorn prices in a cinema): The "small" version costs a somewhat reasonable amount, then there is a massive gap to the "medium" version with very little extra content. And for a smaller increase you could get the "big" version with so much more content. The middle version will only very rarely be bought and is simply there to make people buy the big version since you get a lot more stuff and the increase doesn't seem as big from the middle one
Ikr… all of this to force their customers to purchase their subscriptions, unless you’re a gamer speed runner that can finish the entire game under 1 month and then cancel the membership that would benefit some people who are like that
Or like George Carlin says; " poor people exist to scare the shit out of the middle class"
that was their intention, but it was extremely poorly executed
@@coffeelink943 What are you even talking about? You finish most games in 10-20 hours.

I don't know what is the fuss about getting it early either other than for business reason, but regular customers has no need for that as a perk, may be for bragging? lol More likely it just sit in the library more than 3 days for some people. 😂 It is not a selling point other than being a subject for testing their games.
some of the old star wars games were really fun. tie fighter was my favorite. first battlefront was awesome, hard to describe how good it was compared to everything else. original dark forces series, was like duke nukem / doom / rise of the triadd / heretic style graphics with some system shock for good gameplay. pretty much anything before early 2000's when game companies started wondering how they can make some money.
"People need to get used to not owning their games" - Ubisoft. They hit the nail on the head with that one 😂

I'm currently employed in the gaming industry, one of the big studios, and recently a colleague shared something regarding this type of monetization, forcing the paying user into a subscription model funnel. While every single colleague who reacted to the post criticized this practice, except for those in finance and monetization who defended it as justifiable given the current economic climate. It's baffling, to say the least. I'm seriously considering boycotting the gaming industry altogether. Personally, I've made the decision to transition to IT (Ecommerce, B2B, etc) by the end of the year. I've had enough of this industry, the last 5 years have been soul crushing and eye-opening- the mediocre pay, long hours, constant layoffs to compensate for poor business decisions that hinder project scope and innovation, and the bad management.

Dear Ubisoft.
Get bent!

Wow
For me 800
Ubisoft share price has gone down 80% during last 6 years, apparently they are not on the right track.
Seems like a good track to me for them to be on... they should stay the course.
You forgot the J in front
Hopefully right into bankruptcy.
They honestly should just trick the consumer that they are learning and just do 1 price point in the middle somewhere and just give all the stuff of the other tiers and make the character pack an in game buyable thing. So it looks like they arent gouging at different prices.
80% down? GOOD, thanks for the tip. I will go now buy some ubisoft stocks. ;) Remember, buy low, sell high!
Through the playstation store in Australia. Standard $109. Gold $168. Ultimate $199
I miss when the games just came out no dlc ,no early acess ,no patches, good times
When they finally realize that not releasing on Steam was a bad idea and eventually do so, I'll pick it up for 80% off on a winter sale in 6 years or so.

but it doesn't even look good, graphics feel dated af, we haven't seen any actual gameplay, no idea of character developement, flow or mechanics, etc... If I want my star wars fix, think I'll just reinstall jedi survivor

Compare this to Helldivers 2 Live Service model.
One works, the other angers gamers and drives them away.
if star wars outlaws was good people would not mindso much , the problem is that its gonna be shit likelly , like helldivers has battlepass exclusive guns but people forgive that because they think the game is fun , if people considered helldivers 2 a bad game everyone would talking shit about it having a battle pass
@@MrRafagigapr and you can grind the entire battlepass in game. and there's no time limit.
so the battlepass is literally just a glorified progression system that you can pay to skip if you want.
It's really easy to unlock them through getting super credit by playing the game normally, no need to spend more then the base game
Honestly, Helldivers live service is also pretty bad. The rate of release of warbond is too fast compared to how fast you can earn premium currency
Keep supporting Games like Helldivers 2 and you're contributing to the overall problem of live service model games, the only reason companies keep doing it is because they see its successful somewhere else and think they can capitalize on those same types of profits. Let all live service model games die and we'll go back to the good old days of companies designing products to be sold, not to be milked.

This is the guy who fought with his chat as he defended raising prices for games.
Rip that didn't age well
Hey genius, games are cheaper now than before. $60 in 1996 is equal to $110 today. Most new AAA games are $70…. I almost forgot people online are shit when it comes to basic math.
The context matters tho. The case for a general price-increase on new games can be made, and with good arguments. That can be true at the same time as condemning this kind of monetization and artificial price-increases.
Eh, considering the recent inflationary spike and the fact that game prices were artificially capped at 60$ a pop for a long while, I'm not super upset about the rise to 70$. What I AM upset about is the predatory monetization practices triple-A studios often practice IN ADDITION TO the 10$ price increase.
@@Kanoog what game in 1996 has cost 60 bucks?
i was only a year old back then so i dont know, but when i played games in early 2000 it was 40 bucks for AAA games.
In brazil we have to pay 350 for a AAA game in launch, the more expensive version of star wars outlaws is 650
A $70 demo of the $110 full game.
I stopped buying games from people who openly hate me years ago. Skipped both next gen consoles 'cough cough'. I am winning and buying better food instead of games.
At this point nicer food which your body turns into actual feces is a better choice than AAA.
Exactly. To be honest, all these woke companies did was give me more time to improve myself and do things other than gaming.
Why are u coughing
Fortunately, there is still plenty good older games we can keep playing.
@@THamm-xt8jm too much black pepper seasoning on his new better quality food, I'm guessing.
Ubisoft has been on my blacklist for years now not even worth pirating due to how trash their design is.
Always a character or mechanic that spoils the entire solution for a puzzle in their games
lol. Design so bad that AC Origins and AC Odyssey feels like a real world that even non gamer can find joy for just walking around.
Ubisoft has not released a good game since Assassin's Creed Origins.
Just a few weeks ago ubisoft literally deleted a game that I bought. I had a copy of anno 1800 on my uplay and a copy of anno 1800 on steam to play online with friends. But one day their system somehow decided that its a good idea to link the steam version of the game to my uplay and now it is inpossible to run two SEPERATE copies of the game at the same time. Moreover, the steam version doesnt even seem to exist because when you run the game from steam it still opens my Uplay instance of anno 1800 with all the dlc that I dont have on steam. The worst part is that the support doesnt see a problem and refused to fix it in any way 😂
@@ch630 The only thing real world about those games is them nuking my drives with their shitty drm
I’m not one to pirate games but Ubisoft are doing a great job at making me comfortable doing so.
I'll wait a year after release and get everything for 20$ on sale.
Remember the people who kept saying that if the gaming industry upped the price to 70 that it would decrease all these practices like this?
Yeah, i also wished I was proven wrong too >_>
games got worse, microtransactions got worse, deluxe packages got worse. price, higher than ever. who couldve seen this coming. tune in to the next console generation where prices will rise again and lobotomites will try to gaslight people into thinking that a good thing, again.
Those people never seem to realize that corporations will always try to see what they can get away with if it gets them more money.
I knew that was a lie. They were just making excuses to justify a higher price. If anything micro transactions and ultimate editions are getting worse
That was a decade ago before inflation made it way worse realistically if they were to keep in line with game pricing in the past games it would cost $120+ at this point. Relisticaly the budgets are multiple time larger and the games are cheaper (adgusted for inflation)
@@clintshidwood4511 honestly, and this might be controversial, I don't think microtransactions got worse.
I'm not saying that it's good, but I don't think it's worse than the loot boxes every game had to have a couple of years ago.
Now I at least get to see what I'm spending my money on instead of having to buy 50.000 loot boxes just for the small chance of getting what I wanted.
Remember you are paying for a fictional product 129.99$ that you as Ubisoft stated "Will not own".
You haven't owned a game since Valve released Steam...
Actually you haven't owned a game before but taking away your license was basically impossible since it was physical...
@@Ashmodai Steam literally has a clause that you own the games you buy so in the unlikely case Valve goes under you can download all your games from them before their servers shut down.
Unless they have somehow change said clause the past 10 years, but last time I checked, even games that are no longer on steam, but I bought there, are available to be still be downloaded from them.

In Brazil, the ultimate edition is priced at R$649.99 (the minimum wage here is R$1,412)
Why doesn't he wait for the sales? Based on previous games, it will be soon after release )))
In marketing, its called decoy prices. The fixed prices are artificially high to make the monthly subscription looking like a better deal. The reason this works is because humans have a very hard time internally calculating the value of goods (i.e. in absolute terms) without reference points in mind.
I love how they go through all of this effort of psychologically manipulating the human mind just to squeeze an extra 4$ when the best solution is to just make a good game without all this garbage attached to it
so in reality they just want people to subscribe and not buy?
@@johndank2209 even if you pay $110 you still don't own the game, the ultimate checkmate
Yes.
@@johndank2209 Yes. Its also much more costly to make physical production of copies compared to selling digital subscriptions. So its more cost effective. On top of that, if Ubi knows people are not going to buy the hard copies at a higher rate than subscriptions then they also avoid have to sell to retailers at lower costs which also includes distributional costs to the retailers as well.
I've never wanted a game to fail so bad.

Stop buying new AAA games, people. Or just wait for the prices to drop heavily. There are so many older gems that are many times better than what we keep getting for the last couple of years. This is the best time to replay your favorite games.
Yeh, there was a time I bought the latest releases, but now I rarely get a game at launch unless I REALLY want it. Discounted titles and Emulation are the way forward

Unfortunately people will just keep buying. These companies wouldn’t do this if there weren’t regular buyers.
Been playing RDR2 again for a few weeks now, no problems except just now for some reason can't connect to rockstar services and I can't play a single player game because supposedly it has to be verified and supposedly offline verification data is not available. Just great. Never had problems like these when I was a pirate.
I don't understand why people, especially Star Wars fans, at this point would ever consider pre-ordering Ubisoft games. The last 3 years have not been kind to them outside of R6 Siege and they're monetizing a SINGLE PLAYER game. Similar to mtx in Dragon's Dogma 2. Put the shit in the game, and LEAVE it in the game. Stop pay-walling content for single player experiences.
I specified Star Wars fans because of the Battlefront 2 and 3 fiasco. Service for the game just dropped and Battlefront 3 was basically a finished game and EA made DICE scrap it for BF2042.
just do not buy whatever is not worth money to you personally,....it is a personal choice. People acting like they have to play something
If you're still a Star Wars fan these days, I guess you will eat whatever slob they present you ^^
I am a Star Wars fan, but I am not buying any Ubisoft + subscription or paying more than the standard price of AAA game.
I am willing to pay 70$ for a Star Wars game I enjoy, but more than that is too much and I will either wait for a discount or never buy it.
@@ivann4512 The issue is the more prevalent it becomes in games because SOME people buy it, the more egregious it will become. It's better to nip it now as a whole when it's in places it shouldn't be (such as SP games).
Wait for sale = wait till its fixed. I haven't bought a game for more than 60 dollars since 2015.
I haven't even picked up the first of the two Respawn Star Wars games yet, I might pick this up 5 years from now.
@@cikame I bought Fallen Order, when it was $15. Survivor now is around $25, so maybe it will soon come under my radar ;P
€40 is my max for years. Enough games to play and indie games are cheaper and bring me more fun. AAA games always need some time to be patched so why should I want to play them fast for a high price?
It's probably gonna be end of service for the game before it goes on sale, lol, because they will argue you can just subscribe to play for $18 a month until then.
The only time I've spent more than 40 was elden ring + its upcoming DLC if that counts. Much better to buy indie games that are better made, less money and have well rounded communities
As a person said earlier in comments on some video : if buying doesn't mean owning then piracy doesn't mean stealing.
People who pick the subscription option is my enemy.
anyone buying this game does not belong to our cause..
Can't you just subscribe for a month at $17, play through the game in three days and then end your subscription?
Depends on their TOS. Wouldn't be surprised if they thought of that beforehand. @@Bearprobe
@@Bearprobe That to show at peak in the beginning the statistic subscriber numbers to shareholders and investors before they fall off again. So no that's not an option either.
Boycotting the game altogether is the way.
The fact that we're paying the same amount we used to pay for the Collectors Editions of games like Halo and the Witcher (the kinds that came with a full strategy guide and other physical rewards, on top of the DLCs), just for a few pieces of downloadable content that aren't even fully guaranteed because they haven't been developed yet is absolutely mind blowing. I thought the fast food inflation stuff was bad, but this is just nuts.
Oh man, I bought the game of the year edition of Morrowind an eon ago in a GameStop on a whim...I should have bought the full on one with a coin and map lol. Was the beginning of my Elder Scrolls journey. I could never do this for a digital copy that is legally not mine in the TOS
Its inflAAAtion.
There's a simple solution, just don't buy it. That's all we have to do to stop companies from pulling crap like this.
Mind blowing games have come 1000X what they were 25 years ago but price hasn't matched that like any other industry would 🫵🤣 the fact gamers have become this entitled is wild
@@justinmarlowe6999 If you think that, you're obviously a kid who never played those games made 25 years ago. There are games made in the 80s that I would rather play again than the 10th Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed game they crapped out as fast as possible to make easy money.
Dude, you didn't notice that the season pass includes 2 more story DLCs, which is why the difference is so huge
