I thought it was about 5 millions, damn those guys are cheap. The head of the team or a PR guy I don't know, implied they received enough money to pretty much don't care about the backlash. 3 millions ain't that much.

It's enough to not care about refunds since it was crowdfunded to $780k, so they still have $3.3mil even if everyone refunds. Even if they would have to deduct the refunds from the $3.3mil since they already spent the money to develop the game,- they would still have $2.5mil. Of course they won't be able to get back the communities good will so unless they get picked by a publisher - good luck crowdfunding the next game.

I assume they already signed a lifetime deal with Epic, no chance on hell they'll get away with another crowdfound. People don't like it when they're being used, I know, shocking.

Yeah, a recurring theme in this industry, but I'm glad it's Epic the ones being targeted now because I hate them.
I saw the Jax's ending for MK11, the whole "woke" part is cringy AF. If I wanted politics simulator I'd just stick it with real life thank you very much. I don't play videogames to eat whatever politic garbage people has in their agendas because they thought it'd be cool to add them in their game.

Gotta hit that 110% wokeness milestone. You know what's ironic? an ultra violent game trying to be political correct, that is just a new level of retardness I never thought I'd see.

It's a monumentally long video (1h15min), but it's worth a watch (or listen while you're doing something else *cough* *cough*). Explaining somewhat legally why GaaS is fraud by definition. Interesting... color me non surprised.
I know this technically ain't news (or is it?) but it's not worth opening a thread for, I consider kinda crappy threads whose only purpose it to share a video.

Nothing new, GaaS is no different than DRM, big companies have been fighting against reselling used copies and the right to repair.

Generally I find the reaction to so called SJW's to be pretty overblown. But decided to research this "OK" symbol meaning anyway. Wow, its just that easy to co-opt a symbol is it? So if the alt-right started using a "thumbs up" as an "insider" gesture, would "thumbs up" need to be banned as well? LOL.

Yah, I am willing to bet you that sales of DLC/microtransactions will tank after this goes through.

There’s an article on Venture Beat, which is a website, about how a proposed anti-loot box bill has zero chance of passing. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it didn’t pass. Like most legislation, I suspect it constitutes a kind of opportunistic fan-fiction. Also, nobody has any idea what they’re fucking talking about.
I mean it. Nobody has any idea what a loot box is. You might get lucky and find someone who has heard of “Loot Crate” - these will require an additional level of engagement. You will tell them that people are buying Jedi or Doll Clothes or Cards and that none of it is real. They may nod. But this is just the nervous system.
The mind has evaporated; it may never return.
I get pretty tired of things being okay because they’re profitable. I think I’d like a higher bar if possible. I feel like these behemoths have broken through our circle of salt, and we’re talking about basic rules of politeness while they’ve turned the walls into wet, throbbing skin. We’re behind.- Jerry Holkins www.penny-arcade.com/news

Seems the lootboxes debacle has a rather unexpected 'victem'. A mobile game from Nintendo 'Fire Emblem Heroes' has been discontinued in Belgium (only there) because of 'illegal lootboxes' law from the Belgian Gaming Commission from last year. SourceNot that you can't play the game anymore, you're just going to need a work around. Honestly did not expect this from a major firm like Nintendo tbh. More might follow who knows.

Well, they implemented that after the stupendous backlash BL2 got when 2k+Gearbox revealed their greed of exclusive bullcrap. While Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford was crying over the predictable review bombing on Twitter, Valve already started the process of "moving" the reviews. The reviews stay, as a statement, but they no longer affect the actual score of a game. As it should. Meanwhile Epic store doesn't even have reviews, a feature, according to some Publishers.

Of course Nintendo is going to follow the laws of the land they are operating in and what is happening is exactly what people were predicting would happen with a country like Belgium legislating loot boxes. Publishers are just going to ignore putting their games in those countries so they don't fall into the illegal zone and get into trouble if they think that is the most cost effective way to deal with it.
