Didn't Overwatch 2 want $15 for some PvE missions you could finish in an afternoon?

PvE games often try to scam their players. E.g in Payday 2 they have a ton of DLCs, but they haven't learned because Now Payday 3 they said they will take the same DLC aproach, plus they will also add an in-game store for cosmetics in 2025 & a premium currency. Other PVE games that come to mind with premium currency are: Rainbow Six Exttraction (had an in-game store for cosmetics), killing floor 2, etc

Especially when SPT exists

Honestly I think pve is going to make a comeback given how successful helldivers 2 is.

And i missing something? Because I feel like fortnite/save the world was just that

They would if they could

Oh but they are. You might want to look at how much The Sims 4 costs to get all of it. It's well over $1000 now for everything at release price.

I played it for about 3 hours and got bored. Did well in multiplayer matches on whatever map I was on, but as a fresh noob I obviously had no idea where my extracts were on a massive map and ran out the time limit, losing all the crap i’d got after killing 4-5 scavs or players. Messed around with that mode where you can spawn into a map with bots but you don’t get to keep loot to try and learn maps, but it got old quick. It’s not made for casual players, unless those casual players are willing to sink hours into learning basic things like where to go on a map. And at least for me, the loading times were absolutely asinine and i’d have to sit there for 10 minutes while a I loaded into a single match

This is the problem with publicly traded companies. Every year you have to earn more money than last. It leads to these idiotic decisions so that the shareholders are happy

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bye felicia why you still talkin bout our game if ya stopped playin years ago?

@@cinchmccoy KZfaq suggests these videos. It suggested it to me as well, and I've never played Tarkov. And probably never will.

When this game came out the inertia was awful chads literally just stomped. What Tarkov were you playing? As games get older they get harder because people get better. Not to mention when they lose casuals. Then its just a pool of players who want to better at the game. So yea harder game and this game is hard to begin with.

I gotta agree with you. I've been griping about OG tarkov compared to now for so long, I think my friends are annoyed about it: But its certainly far, far different than what it started out as. OG tarkov really had that "everything is F*'d kind of feel. Finding an M4 was a miracle, and something you cherished for a long time. I miss when everyone had shitty AK's and PM pistols, and half the scav loot was partially broken weapons. It really had that STALKER vibe. It was slow. Good loot was rare. And there wasn't this insane, annoying meta there is now.

Definitely had the most fun when it was just getting popular. Everyone sucked and you were still learning the game. Me and my friends didn't even bother with any quests back then, we just played for fun and progressed through looting and killing.

I haven't played star citizen (I wouldn't even try until I get a better PC) but I have seen some of the prices on their ships in real currency. You could theoretically earn those ships using in game currency, but can you practically? Helldivers 2 for instance, has a currency you can buy or earn, but it is practically feasible for a person to earn enough premium currency with gameplay to buy the monthly DLC on a monthly basis.

@@epikmanthe3rd You can. It's an MMO so it'll take a little bit of MMO timeline, but once you get a good game loop going and making money it's quite feasible.

@@DocVanfox Considering the most expensive ship is $20k, I struggle to believe that. Hell, even the second most expensive ship at $3k seems like it would take YEARS to grind to.

@@epikmanthe3rd Those aren't in the game yet so I don't know the in-game price. But I can tell you, the 890 Jump (a 800$ ship) is 32 million in game and I always manage to buy within around 2 months.

@@epikmanthe3rd Also, what you see at 20000$ is a pack of ships, not a standalone ship.

Exactly, Nikita is delusional on so many levels. The game is decent but we're all pretty bored of it now and very ready to jump ship to a new extraction shooter for no other reason than boredom. Nikita then expects his loyal fanbase to support them into the 'full release' when we're not sure what the 1.0 will even look like.

@@thedofflin Some people already do defend the new edition. No matter how many times you tell some people that they literally just quickly made an overpriced coop mode in 2 weeks AFTER Incursion released and they saw they can make some money from it, they think it's "perfectly fine" and "worth it". So yes, they actually do in fact absolutely bank in on a a portion of the player base. Do they care if their player base drops? Probably not, they already got your money. If everyone leaves: What do they care? They'll just close the gates and leave with their earnings. The money some people already spent on those versions could've literally been given to the Incursion & Gray Zone Warfare devs, at least those (especially Incursion as the first one that got announced, back then as Project Quarantine) did come out building a game from the ground up to satisfy the question for coop that was unanswered for years, those are smaller devs, they're not precisely BSG who are still swimming in millions - and in incursions case the devs even specifically allow mods and want people to create them, for 16.50€ instead of 250€ without taxes, lol.

Because they're very well aware that some people will buy it regardless. And loads will forgive it either way - in fact, they already got some people defending the pack who bought it, so they achieved everything they wanted even if they'd give everything for free to everyone. And people WILL flock back to play it - and if not, why would they care? They can just shut down their servers and have even more money than they had before putting it up.

I doubt the dev team has any real say on monetization decisions. They might have been able to speak against it, but it's the top brass that makes the call ultimately.

Half of their dev team is in Ukraine, so half the company's logic and consideration is at war. Allowing the remaining team to pass crazy ideas.

@@stephenallen4635 I mean devs here in an over arching sense. Meaning anyone and/or everyone involved with the game

there is a mod to make it co-op actually, but it is quite confusing compared to the other mods offered on the SPT website

@@XxSNiiPeR115xX Yes. There is a co-op mod out there, but the devs for SPT do not condone it and do not support it. SPT-AKI itself will never be co-op.

Red River and Gray Zone still have a long while to go before they are going to 'take over' anything, other than the exodus that isn't going to feel the same 'awe' factor by them as tarkov offered. (I'm not defending BSG, they suck, but still.. )

Ngl hunt showdown is dog shit and nothing like tarkov

Ghosts of tabor is full with children and the devs are crazy dumb

Based comment adding inertia to the game made us feel like dogshit

Star Citizens monetization has been communicated to all backers back in 2013 and they been supportive of this approach. All changes since then have been wished for by the community - like the ability to upgrade purchases or to buy back previously deleted purchases. Its totally ok to "not be ok" with that approach and stay out of it.

@@elfwyn8707 Well they are transparent at least and I was always able to melt my ships from time to time. Never lost a dime.

Unless some shady backdoor is installed on your device after booting up BSG launcher...

@@theonefrancis696 Nah, even before this controversy, SPT had tens of thousands of people playing; loads of people dug into how it works and into the files. It's safe. No more unsafe than BSG with access to your computer.

would also like to add, if you want to be able to play pve with your friends like the unheard edition has, you can. MPT (Project Fika) is a free mod that allows a peer-to-peer server connection to be established between SPT launchers for co-op in SPT. Setup was mildly jank and a tad bit confusing, but simple enough using radmin. My friend and i are on level 2 traders and have done around 30 raids with absolutely 0 hiccups!

I thought the Tarkov devs were Ukrainians, but after looking up, the irony is indeed there and makes those prices even more messed up if you know what I mean.

Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were russian(well, soviet) writers, so don't bring modern bullshit politics into that.

@@klausjack8731 Could you elaborate? Sounds interesting

@@pannik_lucas When I thought that the devs were Ukrainian, I thought as a joke that they made the prices so ridiculously high to support the Ukrainian war effort. But since the devs are Russians, those high prices will now in a way support the Russian war effort (via taxes of course) against the country, where Tarkov’s inspiration comes from. If you think it this way, than it makes those (unnecessary) prices (I’m not a Tarkov player, so I don’t know if 150 and 250 are worth it) kinda messed up.

You serious? Lmao

@@DigitalApex the definition of DLC is “additional content created for a video game, distributed through the Internet by the game's publisher” and since content within the ‘Unheard Edition’ technically meets the definition of ‘DLC’ there is an argument to be made that it should be included within ‘Edge of Darkness’ edition. Furthermore several Reddit users are now known to have requested a refund of their “Edge of Darknesses Edition” with the understanding that if BSG don’t respond within 30 days they can and will submit a Lawsuit.

It's entirely possible but that would be a long drawn out back and forth. The Consumers have evidence of BSG literally changing the description of what was in EoD in near real time. Since PVE isn't a near separate entity like Arena, it could be stated that PVE is DLC, but it is not a easy argument considering the bs BSG is pulling with it's personal definitions of things. Also the original TOS would have to be looked over. BSG has proven that they have no issues with rewriting things on the fly. So the TOS people signed when EoD was still on the market, and what is visible at the moment could be different since this all started. People could try to do a class action. But if BSG is slowly sinking, thus why the Unheard of Bundle exists, there might not be anything to win. Long story short. It's might not even be worth trying.
