Ex-successful game dies the same hear it was released

project lead as well as community manager got involved

Remember when this was going to be the “Fortnite killer?”
Remember when Yea Forums said EA wouldn’t sink its claws into this game, unlike EVERY OTHER game they’ve ever touched?
Remember when Yea Forums said Respawn were based and one of the “good ones” left at EA?

Where are those people now?

Gamers are entitled pieces of shit.
How dare you bitch about the price of cosmetics in a free to play game.

those people were shills and they are still here but now their talking points are different

what actually happened is that devs called freeloaders freeloaders

a freeloader sperged out on them, and they called him an asshat, because he was one

>Make f2p game
>People play it for free
>WOW BUGGED ECONOMY

fucking kikes, mang

>release free game
>update it rarely
>other ftp battle royale that you compete with gets updated constantly
>people would rather buy stuff in the other game because theres new stuff to keep them coming back
woah

The Ottomans tried the same thing castrating and forcibly converting Christian boys to become Janissary slave soldiers.
By the time the Empire collapsed the Jannies were running the place, having slowly taken over all the administrative positions that the Turks were too lazy to actually do

reminder Titanfall died for this

Why aren't we talking about the cosmetic that costs $200 to get?

As bad as Valve is at least they understand how F2P games work and don't go out of their way to directly insult their fanbase.

they're saying that most people don't buy anything, and by their own words "that's great"
they're just saying the majority of their cash comes from cash cows, not people waiting for a skin to go on sale

A Smash thread died for your awful spelling and English skills.

ummm actually sweatie it's only $30 and you get 30 other items for only $170 too, great value if you ask me

and nothing of value was lost

You mean sell a $60 game with skins for pretend knives and guns, while enabling underage gambling, then distancing themselves from it when the government came knocking?

Or do you mean the dead Artifact game they tried to shill and no one cared because Valve hasnt made a good game in over a decade.

DONT FORGET TO SPEND MONEY TO GET PRETEND DIGITAL CARDS FOR YOUR PRETEND STORE ACCOUNT!

that's pretty much how all F2P games work

Some Yeshua guy, a rabbi, wanted to spread the faith to gentiles and ultimately free them from the claws of some known murderers.
And he was killed.
How convenient.

let's face it

in F2P games, there are only whales and freeloaders; whales keep the game afloat so freeloaders can keep playing

this game was shilled super hard on Yea Forums and reddit, it's crazy how people i know in real life were almost offended if you pointed out it was even a little fishy a game that came out of nowhere with literally 0 hype was being talked about all over the place overnight.

yea because we definitely need more smash threads

It's free and popular.

So obvious it's filled with children who will chat it up to market it.

to be fair its kind of fun when i play it with friends

>it's only $30
that's still bad.

not everyone that hypes up a game is a shill, my paranoid friend

Get a load of these losers.

Won't even get a 1 year anniversary lol.

No kidding. All these faggots pretending that they're outraged are the same people that are going to pony up for these stupid skins every single time.

You learned this just now? Moral outrage has almost always been a "barking dog" type situation that is easily ignored.

This. You can only spend zero dollars on something so much as it is. Reality is that this behavior excites the cash cows and whales into spending more, more money

shit, source? makes it sound like the game is going to stagnate even harder
>tfw played both
at least i pretty much always played them with friends so it was usually an enjoyable time

Anyone else wish that games were just $60 again?

scroll down to see his respawn related experience

It really depends on the game and the model but I've found myself content with $10-$40 indies lately

If they want to save any kind of face from this PR Disaster, they should just release a "Legendary" version of the game.

$60-$80 dollars. It comes with all future/current locked Characters. Make it come with every future Battle Pass and throw in a good amount of Crafting Metals and Apex Coins so people can at least have freedom for SOME kind of customization at the beginning.

>$60 game
what game?

My point was more pay once and you get all the content for a reasonable price, not "free" where if you want all the content you have to pay hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars

>$10 Apex Pack: 1,000 Coins
>$20 Apex Pack: 2,150 Coins

>most skins will purposefully cost 1,100-1,200 Coins each, meaning that the $10 Pack is worthless unless you are buying Lootboxes with it
>even if you spend $20 on the next sized pack, one purchase will leave you JUST short enough of a new purchase

my personal favorite was when items were on sale for 1,050, so you basically HAD to spend $20 minimum.

60$ games
or at least COMPLETE games

the thing is all of the skins up to now have either been shit or mediocre or just recolors of the base skins
they hyped up these new, nice looking skins for a few weeks leading up to this event so people were chomping at the bit to get them
then they release the event and the only way to get them is to gamble with $7 lootboxes
the reason people wouldn't buy shit is because everything that was on sale prior to now was trash

>have to log in
can you give me a screenshot or pastebin or something

Yeah but if it's a game that's going to rely on long-term support from the devs, it's somewhat understandable if there's some sort of pay model beyond the initial purchase. Be it from a subscription of some sort or optional micro-transactions

PUBG was fun when it was in beta. Then the devs went full retard.

Honestly if long term support means new content that is lazy and extremely overpriced i'd rather not have it at all.

>designed the havoc + hopups
damn, i love railgunning people with that thing, shame this means there probably won't be any good new weapons coming out

Fair enough; in the case of Apex, it's fair to be shitting on the devs. But you have games like Warframe that couldn't be what they are today if all you did was buy a $60 copy at launch years ago

I remember I laughed out loud at how leveling and getting stuff just meant you had the privilege to pay to them to actually get it.

Leave it to a basement dweller to have shit taste. Please continue avatarfagging, please.

>millennial as insult
What are you, Gen X? And you still play video games?

I'm not that familiar with Warframes cash shop, what kind of pricing is there in that game?

I always have fun time looking at prices at things that only use shit like "Gems" as currency because they almost always make sure to keep costs and the amount you can "fill" uneven. so you always have a tiny bit left over or are tiny bit short.

You can also see this with some food brands in Grocery stores, 6-pack of burgers, but 8-pack of buns and the like for the record, it ain't the .99 tactic common but it is up there, so it ain't solely a Micro-Transaction thing, happens all the time in "Daily Life" too.

maybe people would want to buy skins if some of the characters werent niggers

well the company's idea is that they shouldn't price their cosmetic items for the majority (as statistics show that most people play for free), but rather the cash cows (as this makes the most money)
obviously the few people who are more conservative with their money but still buy cosmetics are upset that the cash cows are getting the focus

Someone's getting fired.

>zoomer as an insult
What are you, a boomer? And you still play video games?

that's just generic BR battlepass bullshit
it kinda works out in the end though because completing it buys your next battlepass for you

You are freeloaders and asshats. Can we get articles about actual news?

Every day it hurts.

Premium currency that can expedite item crafting, open up more inventory slots, buy certain things outright, exclusive cosmetics, or be traded to other players for whatever. It can be mostly ignored which is really nice but spending a few bucks on inventory slots makes things easier in the beginning but it's not something you'll be forced to do until a while after you've figured out if you like the game or not

I'm happy that all the zoomers that play western free to play shooty garbage are being treated as dirt

is new content free? or do they charge for the expacs like Destiny?

New content is free, yep. The "expansions" in Warframe that come out aren't anything to grand or special, but they're available to anyone playing the game and give you something to do every now and then to break up the general grinding and ERP'ing

>tfw i want to boycott something in the gaming industry because these practices outage me
>tfw the games I play never have a reason to be boycotted
It's an abstract kind of feel

Yep, i know my sister basically has that as her sole motivation to keep playing (and trying to make me play) Fortnite, she got one Battlepass once and has been rolling on that non-stop since, she has always been a F2P cheap-ass playing all sorts of garbage just because it is "free" though so im not exactly surprised. She is a 31 year old devout and married Christian SAHM, just for the record.

It is a effective method to keep F2Pers and "minnows" engaged.

>the games I play never have a reason to be boycotted
That is a boycott you idiot.
Unless you are buying from the same company.

I've gotten more time and enjoyment out of it than most other regular paid games

technically they're not wrong
