Many gamers were upset that the Fez preorder on Steam was not more than 10%. Why do gamers feel entitled to more than they get?
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
Gamers can be such little entitled whiners. I mean, some points I get but we complain about EVERYTHING!
Wow, can't believe people are fighting over this. Really a sad-state in the DLC/content community.
Lets face it, in this day and age where any moron can put his opinion up on the internet like it matters too many of these issues get brought to the front page. Realistically most of the people making these complaints are either too young and inexperienced or just plain too stupid to know how businesses are run. So in turn they whine about whatever they feel overly justified about on an internet forum or twitter. Then a developer reads all these entitled immature comments and become enraged themselves and fire back at the consumer out of spite or anger just exhaserbating the issue.
Lets use fez as an example since the author did. People claim only a dollar off is "pretetious" and the dev just gives crappy comments back in return to this criticism. What should be done from the dev is squash this kind of talk instead of flaming the fire. 10% is a good dicount, the fact that it only comes out to a dollar is because iys a ten dollar game. Would you complain about 6 bucks off a 60 dollar game? When you figure in development costs and other overhead for the developer they prob only take home 20% or less, in this case he"s prob cutting his profits nearly in half to give people who preordered a deal.
In todays market of skyrocketing production costs and low profit margins the consumer should feel lucky they get discounts at all, especially a 10 dollar game. Devs need to put aside personal feelings, swallow thier pride for just a minute and explain things to the consumer so people understand why things are the way they are. Unfortunatly ignorant consumers think they know it all because they hear things like "the customer is always right" but realistically they are usually wrong. Since the internet brings developer and consumer ever closer all the time we all need to communicate better instead of just acting entitled right back at some whiny entitled gamer.
