It's over

It's over

I'm not surprised though.

...

Is this really fucking news to you? First it was DLC, after it was microtransactions and after that season passes. Companies are not here to be your friend user. They're here to make as much money as possible off you.

I don't know why we're blaming the companies, why they're cancer, its the people buying this shit that are the problem.
If stupid fucking dumbass normies stopped buying lootboxes companies would stop making them.

Kill me, Pete

I bought 50 lootboxes the other night, got 4 legendary halloween skins and enough credits to buy 2 more. I don't know why people are angry over lootboxes. They must be poor.

Is it wrong to want to fund a study to identify genes that lead to spending on cosmetic shit for the purpose of extermination?

Kill me, Pete

I could stab you to death and feel nothing. You're worthless.

>Wasting real money to shitpost on Sup Forums

nice

im not angry at you user
im just disappointed

Game?

This is a perfect example of an edgy person. Take notes you fools, I see the word thrown around too often. THIS post right here is an actual edgy person.

...

That shitty 2d dark souls where the guy has that long cone head

KILL ME PETE

I don't know a single good game that has microtransactions, so I don't see what the problem even is. Shitty games are shity with or without microtransactions or gachashit. Good games don't have microtransactions and their DLC is a fucking blessing (e.g. Dark Souls).

I....am autism. Destroyer of vidya.

Thanks.

Blasphemous. Don't listen to , it doen't want to be a DS clone

...

Every 2021 AAA release will be loaded with microtransactions.

PS4?

So, the slippery slope argument? It's bad only because you fear it'll get worse?

Why are you angry? I have more money than I do free time. Buying lootboxes lets me trade my money to reduce the grind.

here's a schematic for ya

my ass!

>prey on the same weaknesses as casinos
>make cash
WOW, who would have thought

Then why is the main character the looking glass knight?

>I don't know why people are angry over lootboxes. They must be poor.
This is the only reason people complain, money. It's why people fight over different consoles and 'exclusive' games.

I don't buy this type of stuff because I like the feeling of earning them. To be honest tho, I think people are entitled to spend their money on whatever the fuck they want, be it a lootbox on a virtual game or a 5 foot dragon dildo.
Get over it, it's not going to go away. This is the future we came to.

If faggots stood up, took some responsibility and not bought these lootbox games they would of been removed and no more would of been made.

Now we gotta sleep in the bed we all made.

remember to blame piracy

blizzfags and even worse, overwatchfags are cancer

It's a bunch of NEETs that don't have money and think pirating a game is justified. Ignore the trash user.

PC. Maybe they will port it to consoles after the official release.

this is already true for half of 2017 games
there is no way it will take until 2021 for that to happen next year it will already be like this

Sup Forums BTFO once again

We need to do something extreme.

>b-but cucklords are not real!

...

Geez man, for this price you could buy a game on Steam or GOG, why would you do this?

Thanks.

He's a literal cuck.

I actually was actively buying games from 2007-2013.
When this shit started first it turned me off games completely for 2 years and ever since I got back the only games I purchased were Witcher 3 and Nier.
I don't think I will be buying a new game until Cyberpunk, if that ever gets released

kill me, pete

Buy the games that don't have microtransactions.

Lootboxes would be nice if they made the prices of games drop but nope, full price + season pass + lootbox

Yes, stupid people have money and the jews know how to mild them.

I promise you that no "normie" is buying loot boxes.
Dumbass

God..looking more into my photo, the addiction problem I had was real fuckin bad. Luckily I got help for it, these companies truly do prey on the weak. I'm so sorry anons for being apart of the problem.

GAMES AS SERVICE WILL SURELY DIE
NO IT CANT BE THIS WAY

So not a game ever again?

>mfw the more bullshit like loot boxes they add, the less vidya I buy

I'm actually hoping more do it. It's saving me so much money and hopefully it contributes further to the inevitable crash.

Keep up the spending Lootbox bros by bank account thanks you.

No friend, rich people know how to handle their money and invest it in ways that will make returns, you instead put it into random drops from lootboxes with no guaranteed worthwhile returns, not the mark of a moneyman but of a stupid man

This, some of my friends are as 'normie' as it gets, but they never spent a single cent on lootboxes. They're for people who have legitimate issues holding onto their money.

This desu,

It really helps weed out the shit companies

what is the point unless it's indie title?
devs have no control over the game, publishers will see a game without micro transaction making a lot of money rub their little jew hands together and say "now imagine if it had microtransactions, we would be making 20 times the money, moishe"

>want to buy EA stocks and get in on this gravy train

>afraid the game industry would begin collapsing on itself the minute I do, as would be appropriate for my luck

There's plenty of games with no microtransactions, come the fuck on.

WHY AM I STILL NOT DEAD PETE?!!
WHY DO YOU LEAVE ME TO THIS TORMENT PETE?!?!!

I hate that now games are designed for maximum profit instead, like in the past, just the best possible product to ship and sell.

>I don't know why we're blaming the companies, why they're cancer, its the people buying this shit that are the problem.
Drug dealers too or do you only apply this logic to the gaming industry

>All dark fantasy is a Dark Souls rip-off

Sure, dude

For (You)s

Just wait until the cryptocurrency meme will die

that wasn't me but I think I understand his point
he's not talking about current games he's talking about future games

But when it's dark fantasy starring a character from Dark Souls it is obviously somewhat inspired by Dark Souls

underage

Seriously. A 10 years ago I might have actually considered buying an upcoming AAA game that looked appealing, but now I know better than to bother.

Game?

Watching development vidoes of the past really does highlight just how hollow the industry is these days. Small teams having fun and putting shit in a game because it would make it more fun.

MGS2 was pretty good for this, to develop the realistic solider movements the team just dicked about in the office with fake guns and army dudes.

Are lootboxes the kind of stuff BING BING WAHOO posters put up with? Are they venting?

Invest in OSI because hotels are going to be putting metal detectors in. :)

I would say it is the equivalent, yes

Honkg kong massacre. Probably a Hotline Miami with slow-mo mechanics and actual graphics

Loot boxes should be banned from everything but Valve games as they're the only ones that do it right

>not having enough money to invest and still have money left over for amusement

poorfag detected

Tell you what if you're unlucky enough that you buying it causes the industry to collapse I will cover your losses and if I can't I will become your personal slave

>but Valve games

Cuck

Gore?

no they don't
CS:GO does it right, TF2 and dota don't

Good thing I pretty much quit western AAA gaming.

>but the poor publishers barely break even!!!

We did get a season pass for a single player game, though

MR BONES OFF ME

>this will never happen to my japanese games
you poor soul

kill me, pete

>other games
>spend money on worthless in-game shit
>Valve games
>spend money on stuff you can flip for thousands of dollars
Yes

for some people it would be buying a game to let sit in their backlog

Im sadly already 30...

I never known a normie to buy those. It's always the "hardcore" tru-gamers that fall for this shit, because to be a true gamer, you have to have significant character flaws to begin with. The companies literally prey on mentally ill.

Why are games so corporate? NO other entertainment indistry puts up with so mich corporate crap while these executives safely store their cash in the cayman islands by the billions while game devs die of scurvy from only eating ramen. How did they do it?

They recently reported that Overwatch made over a million dollars on microtransactions alone. Now you will see every publisher try to push as much of this shit as possible in their games.

Besides blood splatters? I don't think so

Little to no rules, dumbest consumers in the entertainment industry. If people want to give you money for retarded reasons, rejecting them would be even more retarded.

Don't just kill me, Pete. Erase this entire planet from existence.

The drug dealers dont force you to buy drugs and neither do companies with loot boxes.

But theres a difference between been addicted to drugs and seeing a coll pixel skin in a game that you dont even get to see 90% of the time

>NO other entertainment indistry puts up with so mich corporate crap

You're joking right? the movie industry is beyond fucked with people eating out of the palm of hacks, the music industry is literally "this is what's popular now buy millions"

Entertainment as a whole is beyond corrupt.

Good enough. PS4?

Mommy lets me spend my good boy points on loot boxes too!
