I still have Skate 3 installed on my Xbox for those times when I just want to chill for an hour. It makes me a little sad when I see what its become nowadays…
Unrelated, but when did all Magazines start faking youtube thumbnails as the meta image…? I bet times are desperate, but I mean at what point do you understand that it’s all the deceit and desperation that drives literally everyone away to the media they imitate?
In this one case EA is to blame, but I do know what you mean. I think it’s just that YouTube videos have had a large impact on the form media takes, and that’s trickled out towards other forms.
Soooo, the metaverse paid plots? I swear, every company with even an inkling of a 3d environment now just wants to “build” and sell worthless plots as if it’s real land, and literally nobody who uses these actually fucking asked.
i remember pointing out that this would happen in a couple places and ppl said i was just being negative. like a live service skate game is a dead in the water idea but ppl were so starved for skate content they just didn’t listen to sense. look where they are now
This is a great example for the moral justifications of piracy. The bytes for the maps are on your hard drive, why the fuck should you not be allowed to play on them? When someone playing a pirated copy has a better experience than someone on a bought licensed copy something’s not right.
yeah, a bit too extreme take from me. I’m just so annoyed about people who apathetically keep supporting things that make our world worse or that are produced from suffering of others.
when you are aware of the things company is doing and still continue buying from them.
Though if the company has monopoly and you are dependent of the product, then its a bit different.
If you know a parent who is not an active gamer, remind them to never buy games for their kids that have microtransactions, passes, or any form of post-purchase payment. They often will have no idea what they are contributing to as it is not part of their ‘bubble’ to be aware of what these things do to their kids, their kids’ friends, and the industry and society as wholes.
Using in game credits to rent content? Not exactly new, I remember that being the entire business model of EA’s Battlefield Heroes (circa 2009). That was only 3 years after Bethesda was first selling horse armor.
They said they were never gonna paywall parts of the map. 2. It’s not DLC. It’s a 24 hour lease. 3. The game is early access and all early access games paywalling features get slammed. Most do it thru DLC but I guess EA found a way to make more money than selling a one time purchase.

EA is for gaming like popcorn is for haute cuisine.
Wait, I made a mistake. There is good popcorn.

People are still playing EA games after the take over by Saudis/Jared Kushner??? Sorry, I feel no empathy for these gamers.
there’s no moral consumption under capitalism so many people just don’t care

EA invents a new way to assure I never purchase their products. Ever.
The fact anyone has bought any of their products in the last 15 years is why they can keep doing this stupid shit. Stupid things for stupid people.
Using in game credits to rent content? Not exactly new, I remember that being the entire business model of EA’s Battlefield Heroes (circa 2009). That was only 3 years after Bethesda was first selling horse armor.
So when fps games do dlc maps it’s fine. but when a skateboarding game paywalls a map its crossing the line? What am I not getting here?
If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.
Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that
If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.
That’s on part of EA, look at sims 4, you have to spend 1000€ to buy all DLCs.
I’m glad I dont need to pay that much to play all the DLCs
