And how many non-AAA games w/ micro transactions did succeed?

Well, when one has the face of Damien as an old man those comments are to be expected.

Warframe has a really fun basic gameplay, but the game is insanely bloated with dead and half finished features. If they could rein in this bad habit of theirs for this new game it could be very interesting.
I never got in to Warframe, and Soulframe I am even less interested in. Best of luck to the developers.

The parasites are back
Hey @CriticalGaming, guess what? I fucking called it!

I never said they they weren't; you are not listening. You are not listening. What I am saying is that scalpers are still going to try to find a way to overcharge or oversell their second hand copies. If you notice, I was responding to what @hanselthecaretaker said earlier in responding to it. Availability or not, there are going to be jackasses buying and inflating these. You bet your ass on that.

I looked it up on ebay and those people reselling the pre orders are asking for barely a mark up. Seems stupid to me, why go through the trouble of pre-ordering then trying to sell the pre-order for an extra 40 bucks?

Edit: also why did you have to tag me in two separate threads for the exact same thing? Are you to that proud of yourself?

Doesn't matter. They're marking it up and they'll mark it up even higher, if and when they have to, when less become available. Don't try to downplay it, and act like you are right. I find it funny that whenever you are proven wrong half the time, you'll clam up and not say anything, downplay it, or go to a subject that has nothing to do with anything. You've done this more times than you or I care to count.

Cuz I felt like it. Yes. Deal with it or don't.

I could say the same thing about you and your hypocrisy.

I was wrong, oh look at these dirty scammers! What aweful people! Bunch of fucks.

There.

Happy?

Cool.

Nope. I've actually been up front from the very beginning pretty much every single time. We've had opinions and views on we disagree on, but I've always been brash, up front, and honest as clear as day.

You on the other hand might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Several times over.

Moving on, because I am not derailing my thread to a back and forth. I've made my point several times.

This is a valid point. The access to a huge library is all well and good, but ultimately it means nothing because who has the time to play all that stuff. Even if you get the latest new game day 1 for "free", how much time gets invested and wasted into that title. Sure it's nice not to have the upfront cost, but the value of the service gets drastically diminished when you factor the hours and hours of content you can't touch due to time lost.

It's fake value at the end of the day and it serves as a smoke screen especially for microsoft that blurs their lack of new content. You look at gamepasses library and go, "Oh wow look at all the games I have on here" except it makes it harder to realize that none of that content is actually new.

For playstation, I think it's a flex just for the sake of it. They made a sub service because Xbox did, and I don't think there is anything to it beyond "We made one too and ours is bigger than yours."

Exactly why I have no interest in either. A majority is content I already have, or don't like nor care for. Waste of money and time.
