having to spend any money on game isn’t a good thing.
Can you explain? How do you expect devs to make a living? Getting rid of microtransactions I can understand, but not paying for games at all seems overboard.
Took away their staff’s perk of free Game Pass access, now they’re making them pay even more lol. What a greedy shit hovel the gaming industry has become
Halo Infinite has always been a blatant cash grab. A game designed around a store. I have a hard time understanding why Halo fans play it rather than Halo MCC.
Because the gameplay itself is actually feels very good to some people. The cool thing about the franchise is the way that the gameplay has developed over time. Part of the reason the MCC is so cool is because you can experience the franchise at all of its stages. Infinite’s gameplay feels like another interesting and enjoyable variation.
And yet, 343 was still managed to fumble the bag. Nobody wants a shop or battle passes in their halo game.
Please understand that Microsoft has 60 billion to keep games out of the hands of players who don’t use Microsoft products, but they need more of your money to survive!

What a horrible dystopia we live in.
Are online game ships taxed differently? Can we just get a worldwide consensus that having to spend any money on game isn’t a good thing.

Meant to say in game. Micro transactions are trash. Get rid of it.

Don’t worry, them buying up studios is a good thing! It’ll make games more accessible!

“But we’re going to do it anyway bc we can.”
Our cash grab was so shameless that we killed off our fanbase. We need you loyalist to pay for our losses.
