@johnnnytomm@SiKthYEXP@ivvanex being told people cant accept what 'corpos and journos' say otherwise they are sheep has nothing to do with the reality of anything, its an ideology which is inherently sheep-like.
@AarontheDaniel not sure you're understanding anything ive said.
its not an uncommon thing for deluxe editions to exist and to have more to them (which is why i gave examples), but people are being selective on whether or not to care about them. nowhere do you see the same level of scrutiny.
@AarontheDaniel@Mattdek_ the things the shops sell is only cosmetic stuff, what kind of backward ass logical hoops are you trying to go through to mitigate that.
@AarontheDaniel@lutyrannus first off, theres no 'gameplay mechanics' missing from either edition, you might want to be more specific. secondly,
Directive 8020
Stalker 2
Hogwarts Legacy
are simple ones which include specifically more content locked behind deluxe editions.
even more games if include dlcs.
@InsaneAlphaBeta@justxavierisunc@Doonishsan who says the fans who dont have netflix are buying netflix just for that (and im not talking about 1 random ass tweet you might have found), perhaps they are just waiting.
it seems everyone else is obsessed about it
@AarontheDaniel@lutyrannus Exactly this kind of manufactured outrage since the start.
Surely you spoke publicly when the dozens of other AAA games had deluxe editions with extra content.
@lutyrannus im not saying theres nothing to complain about, but its been nothing but complaints and many before anything was actually known. it just seems manufactured outrage since the start.
@lutyrannus when in reality, the base game is cheaper then 100 base game (deluxe editions have existed for hundreds of games), and cheaper still if you consider inflation. the gameplay trailer has been announced and people complained they have to wait a few hours if they dont have netflix.
@guiverno_@DiscussThing regardless on whether or not its a 'paywall' since you're clearly just going to keep saying it on repeat, you're talking about hours.
it says alot more about you are physically incapable of just waiting until its free for everyone (which again it is and will be, not a paywall)
@guiverno_@DiscussThing im not saying that discourse doesnt exist in any capacity because everyone complains about everything, but its certainly true they care nowhere near the same amount for any other game, considering every major AAA release has had them with nowhere near the same amount of scrutiny
@ls4290@ivvanex or they could just charge you to play the game and not build that infrastructure. im not sure you are even potentially thinking it through in any conceivable way, you are just saying words.
@guiverno_@DiscussThing you can say deluxe editions and early access are a problem, but no one seems to complain when literally anyone else does it.
again, not a paywall, you are not stopped from viewing it either later (hours, not days or weeks even) or somewhere else.
@DiscussThing discs are still licenses, and its not a paywall, its an early access, they will be released elsewhere, and honestly instantaneously anyway on every social media beyond just officially but still besides the point.
@JamesHalliday94@TimoTweetss you very likely would of bought it without a disk even if it had it tbf
there are some reasons to want physical, but most arguments for it dont make sense, the big one being preservation. rarely do games, especially AAA singleplayer after the 2000s have problems of preservation.
