most parents shouldn't be parents

like 99.99%

it should be illegal but the loots boxes are in every kid's game

wait..... tex agrees with me..... what universe is this?

maybe gambling shouldn't be regulated

surprised fortnite doesnt have loot boxes

Fuck's sake the folk at Halfords are actual melts.

haha halfords

ya'll remember when that cunt came in here ages ago and tried to argue in vc that copyright should be abolished?

that was me

No and no one cares.

with inflation aaa games should cost 100+ per title so this is how they avoid doing it..... lootboxes

I'd pay 100 for TW3

I've payed more that that for TF2 lmao

yes

Thats part of it but they also make way more from lootboxes than making the game cost 100

look at nes games

60 dollars

I didn't mind the OW loot boxes cause they were just aesthetics but like in battle front 2 it made it random that all of a sudden you could be like 4 times better then the other classes

games havent gone up in 30+ years

I'd rather have payed £100 for Destiny 2 than them split the game into three pieces and slowly sell it for like £150+

it is now december in Australia

Neat

Paladins tried to go pay to win and almost got nuked by autists like myself

well it's november here @Dino

Imagine paying 40 quid for an nes game

overall games are the same price as decades ago and have to recoup the inflation costs..... they can either charge more or break it up into season passes and loot boxes

they choose to play smoke and mirrors into passes etc

We're not building games in assembly my dude

it wont be long til it's december in the UK, brace yourselves

indy titles can charge less but aaa need the money to show stockholders that they wont lose money investing

Game engines increase the limit on what is possible within a certain amount of effort and are the reason games prices have largely stayed consistent

how do you justify the large team sizes to make these games?

they cost money

AAA companies like to make their own engines

Simple

Indy games are just built in unity and shit like that

You dont own games anymore. You purchase access to licenses. It actually sucks because even old console games like SNES and N64 have expiration dates, the physical copies werent meant to last passed 20 years

yeah I mean with games like RD2 it cost 265 Million to make

overall id rather they just raise prices and give incremental free updates.

dude
