@VoodooRaisins@kainehunt@BringBackBanjoK Playing devils advocate but they did issue refunds to anyone who did purchase the game and it peaked at like 700 players on steam. But people who still own it can still play it on private servers. All this information is one google away. The problem is DRM that’s why GOG exists
@hellfangwolf@AntardeepanRoy@JC_Sweaty@NickMcNack@kris_chrome That game is also on disks as well and it’s an always online title. So even if you have the disk you can’t play the game cause they shut down all support. So they can still revoke your license disk or not, that’s why solutions like GOG exist
@AntardeepanRoy@hellfangwolf@JC_Sweaty@NickMcNack@kris_chrome They can remove the games from the storefront yeah but if you have the game downloaded they can’t just remove your access especially if your console is offline and technically they could stop you from playing your physical disks but it’s not worth the lawsuits that’ll happen
@unimpressiveinc@juuvenchii@martian_ata@LovelyPeach2001 I didn’t say it disqualified your opinion. I’m saying there’s a lot that goes into the process that you all have no idea about. It’s simple economics, if any of you actually had a business you’d all go bankrupt within a year. Read a book sometimes
@Veryfancysavior@The__Goomba@bluefiiih The difference is they didn’t Invest over a billion in gta 5. And let’s do the math then if they sold it at $30 and they allegedly sold 40 million pre-orders. That means at $30 they’re barely breaking even. With $60 it’s double but still barely any significant profit
@Veryfancysavior@The__Goomba@bluefiiih I’m not ignoring that fact I’m well aware of the economy. But that doesn’t change the fact that you don’t need to play video games lol. You need food and shelter those are what you should be arguing and fighting about not video games
@Veryfancysavior@The__Goomba@bluefiiih They have to make their money back for expenses and to invest into future projects. Yeah the execs are scumbags but video games are a business whether you like it or not. The base game is $80 and that’s all you really need. It’s all a numbers game at the end of the day
@Veryfancysavior@The__Goomba@bluefiiih Video games are a luxury, you’re not gonna die if you don’t play gta 6 on day one. It doesn’t hurt anyone cause the people who really want to play the game aren’t letting the price stop them, they think it’s worth it and who are we to tell them how to spend their money?
@Veryfancysavior@The__Goomba@bluefiiih My whole point is you don’t have to participate, we seen what happened when cyberpunk first released. If GTA 6 ends up being shit then the community will definitely respond. It isn’t predatory in my eyes because it doesn’t take away from the core gameplay at all
