You wouldn't Pirate a Pirate game would you? 😉

[–] Jennie@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That's cool but I think I'll just pirate it thanks

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

That's the spirit

I stopped pirating for many years once I had a decent steady income. One nice thing about it was I realized I didn't have to worry about viruses / trojans / keyloggers anymore. But now I'm poor again and I've taken up pirating again. But now instead of running naked I use SandBoxie which so far has worked out pretty well.

Priced the poors away from having bread.

Now time to price the poors away from circuses.

I fully support the rights of people who absolutely must buy the game on the first day of release for full price in order to subsidise a nice discount for me when I will buy it a year later for $30 (or less).

Games that flop often get heavier discounts later down the line. Digital copies have no cost to create, so the only cost is the opportunity cost of a bigger sale.

Total War: Pharaoh went from 170 PLN to 44 PLN in like a month. Age of Sigmar Real of Ruin from 250 to 95 in similar time (also lmao AoS totally inherited the WHFB shitty games curse)

Inflation hits game industry.

I forecast by 2300 games will be released under AAAAAAAA+++++ quality tags. Still unpolished and filled with bugs because of hurried delivery and layoffs earlier this year.

Sounds bullsht

[–] Lurra@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

It's ok, I'll just wait for it to go on sale ☺️

Apparently it's just not as good as Sea Of Thieves on every aspect

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 9 months ago

Ubisoft hasn't made a good game since the early 2000s

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

I feel if you pay the 70$ you're kind of missing the point.

I prefer AC4 Black Flag
