Can't use the word "buy" if you can't actually buy the thing.

Shit article. Counting down to when you can start giving them money for a pre-order we don't even have details about is news!?

But really, if we reward companies for games before they're even released and reviewed, we deserve any and all garbage they decide to give us...

Millions will, and Rockstar will make billions, but don't buy it at launch anyway. Get it on a sale or pirate it when it comes to PC instead.

Once again we all suffer because of the stupid majority. Imagine if everyone closed their wallets to the likes of google, meta, apple, rockstar.

It’s pretty sad you have to tell people to pirate when honestly no one should be playing it at all. even discussing it helps them. If this is so bad, which I think it is because I’ve quit buying/playing games almost 10 years ago, Then the answer is to not engage.

This isn’t food.

There are so many independent studio/artist making things that desperately need your help in anyway. To read share and engage with their shit. Every minute spent with a major corps bullshit piece of entertainment Is time taken away from the independent artist. Every minute you spend engaging with this complaining or not, helps them.

If digital, then games should cost about 5 or 10 bucks apiece. The high cost is mostly attributed to the plastic and the distribution (and the greed, of course).

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago

The cost is the r&d bro. CDs cost nothing to Make.

if capitalism, then price must be the highest to maximise growth.

Didn’t they spend 2 billion?

I’m not even sticking up for this but yall are insane.

This is why everything sucks. You expect everything for nothing then wonder why your games nickle and dime you for dlc and your food is nasty and your clothes are all plastic.

As a professional artist I’ll tell ya it seems like a poor man’s hobby to make games, write novels, or make music. So you have people that make this shit for the love of the game or a lot of cash and nothing really in between.

Bought about 15 games for that much the other day in the GoG sale. Against the Storm is probably my favourite out of the 3 I have played so far and will probably keep me going for a while even though I want to play the others too.

I’ll just wait for the PC version and then sail the high seas.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 24 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I can't even be bothered to pirate it
