It's roughly the same.

MTX is something that you pay upfront, so it's ok.
The system is rigged by money amount, it's gambling.

>lootboxes were a long con to make people not as mad about online stores

It's just a mobile gimmick into AAA games.
Or has people forgotten.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ugh, Red Dead Redemption 2 is on another launcher

Too fucking many

Online DRM: Rockstar launcher.
Also is threatening to disable mods.

So GG...

Torrent it is, then

I don't care about the online side of it

not even satisfactory on the epic store disabled mods

these are some salty people wtf

Rockstar's last attempt was fiveM.
On the launcher now, gta san andreas -- mods are disabled.

Well, if they're being scummy, I'll just torrent. No biggie

I'll see what CoD is like after a while of release.

bring back expansion packs

and get rid of dlc/season pass

I mean, that's pretty much what expansion packs are too

expansionpacks usually contained all the stuff

dlc/seasonpass/cosmetics/etc

at a REASONABLE PRICE

Ashen Devs Banned This Person For Stating Facts
~ https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/dkn7cs/ashen_devs_banned_this_person_for_stating_facts/

No Deus Vult in CK3

old news lol

also, possibly "fake" news

either devs backtracked quickly after the statement, or someone spoke out of turn and there's "discussions" going on about it during development

i hope its not true, given the context of the game it should be in

the swastica should as well in india but i know that would never go though

the issue with the swastika is the symbol (to my knowledge) is outright banned in Germany

so many game makers and video producers have to go with the iron cross or risk their content being outright banned / made unavailable Germany

ya

Germany unbanned nazi symbles in games as there protected the same way movies are

germans can get over the past

im sure they would boycot it anyway though
