Why are you trying to get personal?Originally Posted by Ontari Go to original post
You have no idea what Gray's life is like, or what he has done in it. There's literally NO REASON to get personal with this discussion.
This game doesn't require microtransactions in ANY WAY. It's just there for the people that value their time more than money.
f you value your money more than time, play to get the items.
If you value your time more than your money, buy the items.
Simple as that.
Would totally agree, if the game wasn't broken in so many ways. I think I wouldn't complain as much if the game was working. Trying to sell us this stuff for a product that is not functional feels like a rip of. I like spending my money and I also like to spend it on useless stuff like videogames or other things that may not be worth it, but when I feel ripped off I get angry.Originally Posted by SerJobsalot Go to original post
Last I checked, the game doesn't REQUIRE you, or FORCE you to spend any money.Originally Posted by DerHerbman Go to original post
How you can possibly feel "ripped off" is beyond me. It's almost like you don't understand how the words and phrases you are using are intended to be used.
Lol, dude this Gray Guy is getting personal all the time with his low education and now when someone is doing the same you jump in? Funny stuff! But tbh the discussion here are not worth it. To much insult and personal flame!Originally Posted by Munktor Go to original post
CU on the battlefield.
Emotes are way overpriced for what they are. A 3 seconds motion capture animation is it worth $6 bucks? or 7k steel equivalent time grinding?
the answer is obvious for smart people, and you should know that the outrageous price for cosmetics is nothing more than a money grab through microtrans.
Fuxk no, definitely not worth with the current connection quality.
I think that by lowering all the steel costs and have the art team department to deliver more variety as time to come would serve a healthier long-term relationship between the game and players.
smh for their shortsighted view of the game clouded by greed for money.
So because he doesn't mind MT's in a full price game you assume he's never earned something? What a judgemental jerk. It's very telling about you that you have to create some narrative you couldn't possibly know in order to dismiss an opinion different from yours.Originally Posted by Ontari Go to original post
Here's my story:
I've worked all my life. Started out in construction at age 16. Now, at 38 I'm an office administrator for an ad agency in Chicago working my *** off. Guess what? I don't mind microtransactions in full price games. In 1994 I paid $55 for Donkey Kong Country. 23 years later I'm buying much more complicated games that provide a much greater scope of entertainment and have much higher production costs than games from the 90's. And I'm only paying $5 more. So yeah, as an adult that understand what it means to earn what I have I'm also mature enough to understand that it's only right to pay people for goods or services. And many games offer a way to VOLUNTARILY put more money in a dev's pocket for work that exceeds a two decade+ old price point.
Paywalls and pay to win are no good. But cosmetic microtransactions that in no way affect the game are a harmless way to supplement the salary of people who work to make products with price tags that have remained the same for over two decades.
That being said, this game has a full price tag, season pass, and micrtransactions. It's only right some of that money goes back into the game (dedicated servers).
I must've missed the posts in which he was using personal attacks to make his point. I would say the same, no need for it and it proves nothing.Originally Posted by DerHerbman Go to original post
Average price for a burger and fries at a sit-down restaurant is roughly $8-10's in most areas in the US.Originally Posted by RayNoGG Go to original post
That isn't even a very NICE place either, just a regular place, like an Applebees, Chilis, Fridays, what have you.
You do recognize the components themselves are not even CLOSE to that cost right?
In business, goods are not sold for their component costs alone. It's the services alongside the component. With videogames, it's important to also consider future development and maintenance costs alongside the price for said cosmetic/emote.
I don't think it's fair to say, "a smart person recognizes this" , because most people I know that deal with business decisions on a daily basis would disagree with your direct cost comparison.

He says getting personal about education.
If I wanted to be personal I would point out your butchery of the English language or something like that, not stay on topic about emotes and how highly you value them. You really do talk backwards all the time, and by that I mean, everything you accuse others of is what you do, from valuing emotes and ornaments highly above content, maps, characters, modes, campaigns, stability (you know, REAL content) to being personal.
