Gamers Have To Be The Worst Consumers

[AlainLocke]

The business practices video game companies have are atrocious

Yet...gamers never fight back

Companies that make billions a year, making people pay between 60 to 100 dollars for a game

Then wanna charge motherfukkers 20 to 50 to play the full game...

They add gambling aspects to games...so you pay 60 to 100 dollars for a chance to get what you paid for

And somehow game companies have convinced gamers that gaming should be like a chore...not fun but a chore...so you grind your life away...on something you paid for...to have fun

Nobody fights back...until it's too late...and game companies are used to getting 200 a pop off a customer on avg meanwhile telling their customer base games aren't cheap to make...

Cause gamers are shytty consumers...

Consumer electronic consumers are second...like you pay 600 to 800 dollars for some shyt but a new one comes out in 6 months...now your shyt is worth like 300...


Like imagine you go to the movie theater and they play half the movie and they charge you for the other half...and then tell you that you gotta pay to fix your own popcorn and thats another 20

That's what game companies do

shyt not me

brehs who follow me in random thoughts and arcadium know I got hella games out the Ying yang, and damn near 75% of my entire collection is games bought on sale or heavily discounted.

Hell I even waited for God of War to drop to 30 bucks

They need to regulate the industry, they are price gauging.

 

[audemarzz]

they'll argue with you . . about protecting them from getting fukked over . . all it takes is not spending your money and gamers won't even do that if it'll benefit them in the long run . . just sit up get raped and yell "but the industry is expensive they can't support themselves . . " meanwhile gta v made 500 million like a few years back lol

 

[ignorethis]

The business practices are to be expected, they're trying to extract as much money as possible from the customers whether ethical or not.

What's weirder is the fact it honestly seems like video game developers and publishers lowkey hate the people that buy their product.

And the "gaming community" for people that think they're geniuses just sit down and take it.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I agree that the pricing system is ridiculous. But I want my games.

 

[1thouwow]

Main reason why I stopped playing 2k18. My brother bought me 2k19 but I haven’t made any in-game purchases yet.

 

[audemarzz]

i don't even play nba 2k no more the increased grind made it no fun .. .it's so blatant that they want you to buy their virtual currency . . you start my mode or whatever nikka missing open lay ups and shyt . . I'm like hell nahhh

Preordered BO4 with the Season Pass

I agree that the pricing system is ridiculous. But I want my games.

This is why corporations can get away with this. Consumers know they're getting ripped off, but want for the game is greater than their disdain of the pricing system. It's hilarious when you think about it.

These days when I game, I only play GTA 5. The pricing system there has become insane. If it weren't for the moneypocalypse years ago, I would not even play it.

It's actually been an interesting battle between companies and gamers since 2005. Horse Armor, Map Packs, Season Passes, Online Passes, Day 1 DLC, Loot boxes. It's one scheme after another to extract as much cash from gamers as possible. But we demand high quality games, so the battle shall be

 

[audemarzz]

they'll yell we going broke sitting on billions while developers with no publishers releasing games like this


no publisher support released a beautiful game with an engaging story decent combat and no season pass,dlc,loot boxes . . .all they did was manage their budget and came out profiting

They need to regulate the industry, they are price gauging.

They really are and the thing about games...it's the newest medium of entertainment and their practices leak out into all the other industries...

I wouldn't be surprised if you gonna start paying for shyt like cellphone OS in parts...

You wanna add more than 25 contacts...pay for it

Start paying for social media in parts...you want more than 50 friends, pay for it...

They already trying to get us to pay for access to certain websites with that net neutrality bullshyt

Lol companies really out here creating digital goods...shyt that doesn't take anything extra to make...

Not like it's a physical good that takes physical resources

shyt that can fit on a fukking thumb drive

Restricting various parts of it...just to charge you for something you already have in your physical possession...

Then if you figure out how to get full access of something you paid for, they can restrict you from using it lol

Just imagine you buy a car and wanna put rims on it but the car company charges you to do it

Nobody would accept that shyt...but they accept it digitally...

Gamers are the worst...the worst...

They are ushering in the worst era of capitalism by accepting bullshyt...

Like imagine you go to the movie theater and they play half the movie and they charge you for the other half...and then tell you that you gotta pay to fix your own popcorn and thats another 20

That's what game companies do

I feel you but... Movie part 1 and part 2 are a thing

 

[AlainLocke]

I feel you but... Movie part 1 and part 2 are a thing

Nah

I am saying you sit down....

And they play 45 mins... stop the shyt...and physically remove motherfukkers if they ain't paying to see the other half...and then those that pay can stay...

I aint ever heard of some shyt like that...

If they got some shyt like that already then I am suing lol
