gaming industry is getting worse

they are trying to put all games up to 100

prices they are thinking of doing

standard game 100
deluxe version 160
ultimate edition 200

like wtf

why not hire more staff increase the game quality give more content

what gamers want vs what gamer creators want

gamers want

good quality game
lots of content
mind blowing storylines
loveable characters

what gamer creates want

pay 100-200 per game
game content behind paywalls/monthly subscribes
low effort and quality for high prices points
don't earn by playing the game just pay with microtractions for what you want in games

recent games half the people who play them dont play they just buy their way to the top

when you need money in gta or season pass ranking in the first descendant for example your able to by your way through content instead of playing thought it these days

i love video games i hate fact that most games now have paywalls to stop you from experience the full game and microtractions to pay your way through instead of earning it through actually game play

who agrees with me on this gamer topic 🤔🤔

Some really good points in the chat.

You've nailed it. Profit over quality. This is why gaming industry will never surpass movies / tv as a dominant media for expression and entertainment.

1.Gaming companies start promising, focused on user needs, offer innovative valuable service and grow loyal gamers. It's new and different and not making money.

2.The companies grow and start monetizing through subscriptions, price tiers, ads, premium features just to sustain themselves. They're trying to make money and recoup their initial investments.

3.Growth and profit becomes more important than good content. Gaming companies focus more and more on making money to please investors not gamers.

4.It's falling apart now, users are pissed off as the gaming companies focus on squeezing ever diminishing returns just to stay profitable.

Finally, now the company is profitable and 100% focused on revenue. Gamers are left with hot garbage at exorbitant prices with no value.

@tenente empty promises and they do what gamers want to get them hooked once they are hooked or addicted that when the paywalls come in :)
