Im waiting cause the price to subscribe is alot more than it used to be...ridiculous.

Nemop2111d ago (Edited 2111d ago )

The price is $15 a month, everything I found says that it was $15 a month when it came out (at least in NA). Which with inflation actually makes it cheaper today, it also gives you access to live and classic, so the value is a lot higher than it was back then.

slate912111d ago

Yeah not sure what they mean, it has always been $15/month

NiteX2111d ago

Yeah the price has always been $15 a month. Now they charge you tax in most states though.

PapaBop2111d ago (Edited 2111d ago )

Not everyone is from NA. They've raised the prices here in the EU/UK in the last 3-5 years.

zodiac9092110d ago

@slate91 Do you assume everyone lives in the same place as you?? Used to be $15 in Canada, now it's $18.99. Fuck that shit.

What country you live in?

yomfweeee2110d ago

Okay we jumped the gun on responding to you... but the blame isn't on Blizzard for that. What are you waiting for? Not likely to go back down.

slate912111d ago

Never played WoW, but decided to throw $15 at this and see what the hype was about. I've been loving it.

Lionsguard2111d ago (Edited 2111d ago )

It would have been even better back in 2004 when everyone was still a noob and still trying to figure things out. I'm sure someone is already 60 and putting together a 40 man raid.

Absonite2111d ago

You're waiting because trendy people are trying to be trendy.

Teflon022111d ago

Been looking at it, personally will just stick with FFXIV. It's the only true mmo I actually enjoy. Think they're close to the same price for sub? Think it was 12 for FF. (I buy a bunch 1 time), Maybe one month I'd pay and give it a go

PapaBop2111d ago

"You think you do but you don't" and this guy is now running Blizzard lol. Probably relieved to see it do well, they needed the subscribers going by how well BFA has been doing.

XDefiant and former CoD lead quits the games industry after Ubisoft killed their shooter

Mark Rubin, the lead designer of Ubisoft’s now-dead free-to-play shooter XDefiant, has left the games industry following his project’s death.

Going to ubisoft was your mistake

TheColbertinator15h ago

So much wrong with Xdefiant. At one point they started using the worst ideas for their game and FPS fans saw it in the previews.

SpacedDuck15h ago

No offense but if Xdefiant represents your best the industry is better off for it.

"We had other issues though as well that we tried to be transparent about. For one we had crippling tech debt using an engine that wasn’t designed for what we were doing...Another issue we had was having the right resources to make content for the game."

Ubi set them up for failure out of the gate. And he says they had stuff in the pipes that should have been at launch means Ubi rushed it out and the devs didn't.

The creator of Balatro says microtransactions "makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher."

Localthunk: "The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans."
