your already buying a game that isn't even made a lot now (pre order) and that changes to add ever more ways to nickle and dime you (patches) as it's sold back to you in slices (DLC)
pretty much
over a decade back they were practically throwing a free section of the game at you hoping you'd buy it
now it's pre orders, on disc DLC, day one DLC, loot boxes ...
and I'd bet they track their players and sell that data as well
plus in game ads of course
it's even worse than that
you know how always online DRM is a shitty practise?
what if i told you they're planning on having streaming only play
you will never even have the files on your computer
it won't be to long until they hijack your pc to run a cryptominer, wait for it
don't give them ideas
lol
play some CoD and your CPU+gpu stay at 100% because they are using your 'idle' power to run a cryptominer. That will likely be what is next
i mean, streaming the games is nice... but I know the assholes will shit over the players.
what is to stop some kind of free open source gaming platform thing?
like an engine and what not?
since streaming is hardware agnostic and I can run anything on even the shittiest phone then
comparing a 2-3k upgrade for a new pc vs 10-15 for a gaming streaming service. It would benefit me to get the streaming service
and long before that difference is made up the pc I would buy would be not just obsolete but likely either dead or dying
they always do
where there's a will
there's a mistake
been using the ge force now service on my shield while the beta is free and it's been decent for me
the service gives me a virtual client with 15gb of video ram alone, so it can run literally anything
but can it run crysis?
(couldn't resist)
i might be a bit odd then
i'd prefer to play a game with inferior graphics/performance
for better gameplay
oh it's not that. Just that my current pc will die, that is going to happen. At that point I have to decide, to get a new one or just pay the streaming
balanced, well designed, all that
that is what they are banking on i know, that we have to decide to give them a monthly fee or buy a new pc when the time comes
what if parts could be refurbed?
or would that be antithetical to the computer design philosophy?
a rtx costs what... like a grand?
and ya, I tend to be a fps whore. More so in competitive shooters
well that's understandable
is a rental/streaming service going to be advantegeous in the long run?
what is to stop the company from price scalping and all that?
