Then you are foolish and honestly quite narrow-minded for thinking that. Uh huh, and what should I be thinking oh enlightened one? That EA can do no wrong and CDPR is the devil? Is this going to slowly devolve into a sarcastic spat between two forum members over something completely innocuous because one opinions is a clear indicator of how they really think? I've had students with a lot more insight than that perspective before, I would hope I don't have to teach people on this forum how to think now, most of you can do that fine on your own  . Hell, your last comment before you basically attacked me was pretty good for the most part. I just have a general problem with unprofessionalism because it's such a nasty trait hold high as a virtue, especially when it's aimed to make yourself look better. It really just makes you an ass in the end, and that should be a universal dislike. Yet you're defending it because you happen to agree with them and "like" the company more it seems. The real answer is you shouldn't trust PR stuff at all. Judge the game on it's merits of its implementation, whatever it may be, of online schemes. We can in general take words at face value, take ideas at face value, but there is always a twinge of mistrust to it, rightfully, because it's all just fluff. Yet...some people give studios a massive pass all the time because of either goodwill from previous games, fair enough there, or because they are not "mainstream" I have noticed. They are not EA owned, or Activision owned, or now Valve or Ubisoft or Square Enix or Nintendo. I said in another thread somewhere that this sort of horseshoe theory in discussing microtransactions is bad, that applies here too. But a lot of people are willfully blinded by it because they see only in black and white. |

Having got all that out, it's certainly been an interesting few days.  I'm not convinced the companies look good taking cheap shots at each other. But right now they're desperate to step away from the one that farted...  |

If CDPR starts doing shitty things with Cyberpunk 2077 and starts taking the piss out of their consumers then I am sure people will react accordingly, however so far CDPR has done nothing to warrant a major backlash apart from annoying a few diehard fanboys by indirectly making their favorite studio look bad. As for defending CDPRs tweet it has nothing to do with giving them a pass because they are CDPR, I stand by THQ Nordic's tweet as well even though they were far more direct in their dissing of EA, publishers and developers should be calling out EA's shitty behavior and trying their hardest to stop the practices that EA is known for from infecting the rest of the industry. |

I know these things are completely foreign to EA but surely there are still developers out there that take a little pride in the work they do and actually want to put out the best product they can, if Cyberpunk 2077 turns out to be a shallow cash grab then I am sure we will all see it, however with so much resources being put into R&D and other aspects of the game and the long development cycle I doubt that will be the case. Also me disagreeing with you is not me attacking you, I think you might want to learn the difference especially if you are going to go around making posts calling people |

Id rather just see good games and less egoism on the parts of all those involved. Sure, but since nobody is perfect, I'd take this flaw over EA's... A very lesser of two evils line there. Although to compare one to the other is a bit out of proportion. |

Is that really the comment that upset you? All I meant by that comment was that it seems strange that somebody would be more upset about the person decrying the crime than the one that is actually committing it. But ok lets move on from this conversation as I am sure we have both said our piece and it looks like nothing productive will come out of it. |

I just heard that the game scored a user rating of 0.9 on Metacritic, a world record. The bad press surrounding this title is astonishing to watch. Shadow of War had a user score of 1.5 at one point. Yet it's done well financially by all accounts. The key factor is going to be how sales have actually been impacted.
oh, and other studios are gloating now...
CD PROJEKT RED @cdprojektred@prettybadtweets Worry not. When thinking CP2077, think nothing less than TW3 — huge single player, open world, story-driven RPG. No hidden catch, you get what you pay for — no bullshit, just honest gaming like with Wild Hunt. We leave greed to others. Didn't they have their CEO just talk about going games as a service with CP 2077? |

That is what the tweet is a response to, it was a tweet responding to a video reporting on comments CDPR made and speculating on what their position might be with microtransactions and lootboxes. |

Anyway, I'm sure there are more substantial things to talk about.
We should do a podcast to find things to talk about, take the conversation wherever it lands. There are quite a few people on this forum who would be great at that. |

I’m on the fence about the tweets and comments being made by other companies.
On one hand I very much feel that companies like EA should be called out for BS, near predatory, business practices, and they should be ‘shamed’ for such behavior; if only to get them to stop pursuing such aforementioned behavior and get back to making quality games.
On the other hand, I think that professional companies should let their products do the talking instead of resorting to primary school levels of snarkiness and ‘sick burns’ for marketing strategies.

If this is open to any member of the forum, I'd be down to give it a whirl. If its just you two, I still say give it a try.  You never know what might happen, you could become interweb celebrities. And the rest of us on the forum can say 'we knew them when...'. We'd become hipsters!  |

Looks like EA paid the price (no pun intended). Numbers are out and Battlefront 2 sales are down 60% when compared to battlefront 1. If EA doesn't get the hint now about micro transactions, they never will.

UK retail sales, not accounting online. Still, 60% will not be offset by digital sales. If they read the numbers correctly it is an indicator that it's selling not so well. Anyone know how the ratio boxed retail to online sales are for consoles roughly is? |

I agree. Although I do think that they're all throwing out their comments just to 'distance' themselves from the company that choked hard on a big release. By burning EA the way they are, they're practically giving themselves free advertisements. |

We should do a podcast to find things to talk about, take the conversation wherever it lands. There are quite a few people on this forum who would be great at that. If this is open to any member of the forum, I'd be down to give it a whirl. If its just you two, I still say give it a try. You never know what might happen, you could become interweb celebrities. And the rest of us on the forum can say 'we knew them when...'. We'd become hipsters! Haha, I have a feeling that will never happen though, not a lot of interest or time from the majority out there. If it does I'll put the word out for volunteers. |

Actually, I think it's pretty unprofessional to tease EA as a fellow Gaming company, leave that to the consumers and worry about your own stuff.
That being said, if CDPR or Blizzard ever do something of the sort with M$ and loot-buy-boxes, they're gonna get trashed and called hypocrites.
Look at Bethesda as an example, they were pretty high on the pedestal before Fallout 4. And now people call them moneygrabbers and make jokes about monetization of mods on every opportunity.
As of now, CDPR has not done anything wrong, that's why they are the favorite company in the industry. It's a fragile position though.
