Battle passes are quickly becoming one of the biggest pain points in modern gaming, with many titles looking only to get money from players.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
Another studio has held layoffs, this time its Humble Games letting go of its entire QA team according to social media posts.
They will rehire cheaper labor during the restructuring. The stupid thing is that they are struggling and the first thing they do is lower the quality.
100% better off. The big issue with lootboxes was it was gambling. It was not guaranteed you get what you wanted.
For example, Fortnite you wanted Kratos or Master Chief skin. If these where locked inside loot boxes. You would have to keep paying and buying loot boxes in hope you get them. Could cost you a lot of money.
With battle passes. You can see before you buy what is included and estimate how much you need to play in order to unlock them.
Battle passes are not perfect. But they are much much better than gambling boxes.
I much rather they just allow you to buy what ever skin you want without buying battle passes.
Better, but still garbage.
