      @followertheleader 4 роки тому +124

      That theory makes more sense. Big companies can pay smaller companies to try new things so that they don't hurt their stocks by bad press.
      Think about it.
      1. Make a low effort game at a cheap cost.
      2. Try to get any kind of player base to play it.
      3. Try a ridiculous business model and gather data.
      4. Send data to a big company and cash out.
      It doesn't matter what kind of bad press you got or if players have criticisms about the game. The whole point was about gathering data. Of course this theory only makes sense if the player base is significant enough to actually get data.

One bad investment could lead to a total collapse of a publisher, which is what happened to Atari. When so much of your income relies on micro-transactions, what happens when people stop buying them?

    This makes me so sad. I remember in highschool my friend bought the culling 1 on launch and really enjoyed it. I came over one day and he let me play it. For hours we would take turns and I had it set in stone that once I got my first gaming PC I would buy the game and play with him. That day never came, and I ended up getting my PC but after the game was shutdown. I only have that memory of having such a fun time with my friend of this game and I always wanted another chance to play. But that doesn't seem to be a good idea now lol

      It's a shame, because arcade-style monetization in exchange for a very low price of entry is a genuine way through which gamemakers could finance their games. In order for you to pay as much as you would playing this game instead of PUBG ($30 as of right now), it would take 4 months of monthly subscriptions or about 100 game tokens, plus the daily free game tokens. If you decide to stop playing before then, you've saved yourself some money, and if you decide to keep playing, you've decided that your enjoyment from each session of play is worth the payment.
      Now, of course, this game doesn't deserve the price point it sets itself at due to the fact that it's simply a mediocre offering in a saturated market, but the reason I call this a shame is because people may now conflate a monetization scheme that has the potential to be fairly implemented with the low-effort cash grabbing mentality that prevails in the industry, as it is seen here.
