Paid subs are coming, and every company is investing heavily in them. From Microtransactions to this type of stuff, the community has been vocal about the issues surrounding ripping customers off, but we are being let down by influencers and journalists in trying to fight off these abhorrent business practices. Influencers and journalists don't say enough about how bad this stuff is. Meanwhile th soft buyers in the general public are getting more outraged by the day and whales are being exploited to pay too much of their own money for pointless crap.

A paid sub is partly why I think Xbox can throw Black Ops 6 on to Gamepass day-and-date and still think of it as "good business."

What's bad in this exactly? Explain in detail.

senorfartcushion360d ago

Paid subs and microtransactions are bad.

ElaBosak356d ago (Edited 356d ago )

Not my question. What's bad in this exactly? Explain in detail.

It's going to cost you and I more money and we will have less opportunities to play the games we want to play, as well as purchasing games we want to purchase.

'Kay?????

ElaBosak356d ago

How is it going to cost you money if you ignore it and don't pay for it?

senorfartcushion355d ago

Because studios are aiming to have this as a mandatory thing. They want people to pay monthly for their experiences, like what you do for Netflix. They don't want single time purchases.

So says a friend of mine who's heard their execs say it for real. And they iterated that EVERYONE wants it.

Stop being stubborn.

ElaBosak354d ago

Wait, so you made some hypothetical scenario up and just got mad about it? This is unhealthy.

So PC gaming kills subscriptions model, now they want to bring it back along with season passes, MT, dlc and whatever else they can think of. 🙄

ElaBosak362d ago

What do you mean PC gaming kills subscriptions? PC gaming is what started gaming subscriptions in the first place.

ElaBosak362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

Actually a good model. More games should do this.

It's like a slow moving train wreck..

Rainbow Six is actually a great IP for something like this. I'm assuming it's likely similar to XCOM, and that would be a perfect fit for R6.

I’m always excited for a good turn based strategy game.

PapaBop48d ago

Agreed, I'm excited to see how it turns out, hopefully they do Ubi it up.

DodoDojo48d ago

It's my favorite game genre so I'm sold already.

Relientk7749d ago

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

anast49d ago

Obnoxious MT shops might not go with a game like this. Are they sure they want to make an actual game?

SpacedDuck49d ago

Another game that will launch, flop and result in people getting fired.

Just shut up and make a new Splinter Cell and stop milking Siege and make a new Rainbow Six 3 style Rainbow Six game.

S2Killinit48d ago

Do you sound this annoying in real life?

Michiel198948d ago

their turn based mario games were pretty good

Inverno49d ago

That actually fits the series quite well
