    Yeah, it’s fucking awesome! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a AAA studio sink big bucks into a project that was destined to be a dumpster fire, then release it as a timed exclusive loaded with DRM for good measure. I really hate that there are developers falling victim to the overall shittiness of the games industry, but I don’t know how else studios are supposed to learn that people want to buy games, not lease online storefronts. On that note, anyone have any good indie recommendations?

      Meanwhile all we need to keep us happy are AA budget games to perhaps dormant franchises which haven’t seen the light of day in a few decades.

      We don’t need AAA or … Lol AAAA budget games every time

        Nah man, what we need is an AAAAAAA+ game. Price will be $3400 so the company can recuperate the cost of making the game, and everyone will buy it! It’s how slaves gamers work, right?

        Cool. Now where’s my $102 million bonus for reinventing the gaming market?

          yeah going forward all games should be monetized like those simulator games.
          like “Train Sim World 5” with a total of 2.500€ for all addons
