Anime AAA hackfraud implosion

[Whiny-Butthurt-Liberal]

Right after EA's nuBattlefront 2 got severely boycotted because of hiding half of the game's content behind a microtransaction paywall, Bungie's Destiny 2 got caught pulling a grindfest scam on the players. Here's what's happened:

1. Players caught Destiny 2 giving them far less experience for their grinding than it was supposed to. Where the GUI said 1000 XP per kill, the actual XP gained was less than 20% of that.
2. Bungie released a fake apology and a fix, which removed the discrepancy between stated and actual XP gained.
3. The same (((fix))) also doubled the amount of XP needed to level up (lul).
4. Outraged, players decided to boycott Destiny 2.
5. Bungie keeps releasing corporate lies, in a pathetic effort to save face. Everyone knows they were pushing their sheeple to pay for level ups, in a full-priced game no less.

Hopefully, the AAA game industry will fucking crash and burn entirely. Between lootbox gambling scams, grindfests, microtransactions and pay to win, it appears that AAA games have devolved into brain-dead vehicles for squeezing money out of people too dumb to notice that the shiny turd they are playing isn't fun.

At least in the days of Oblivion, the shiny, dumbed-down AAA turd didn't ask for an extra $10 for you to get to level 25.

Who is deader? The brain of the people buying these games when they know corporations attempts to fuck you, or the corporations that try to fuck them to get some deserved money from the herd of sheeps?

Looks like after ten years of being owned, filthy casualites decided to wake up and create a shitstorm in a cup over two games that should have been the kings of microtransaction revenue. Still no issues with Ass Creed Origins, though. Ubisoft gets a pass, despite being just as obviously evil as EA.

Yeah, it only asked for an extra $10 for horse armor.

by modern standards that is good inoffensive dlc which doesn't limit or harm an ordinary player who doesn't buy it.

that's how far we've fallen. what once was THE bad dlc meme would, in 2017, not even fall in the worst 50% of dlc/microtransaction content.

You genuinely didn't need that horse armor (which went for $1, iirc). Modern AAA garbage is designed to be borderline unplayable without microtransactions.

The notion of paying money for something in a SINGLE PLAYER game is something I still view as ludicrous. Pirate Cat won't pay for his downloads!

People who play these shit games deserve this.

There sure seem to be a lot of them, since the entire landscape is changing as a result.

We don't deserve this because they do.... Your imposed punishment misses the target and nails us.

What we need is Gaming Apartheid. Let the normie AAA whores live in their little shitty DLC favelas while the real people get to enjoy real games.

It seems that Bungie does love to fuck their customers hard and long.
Destiny have openly become a malware.
Any idiot that plays this shit deserve to get fucked that way.

 

[Maxwell's Demon]

I tried Destiny when it came out for a few hours and realized it just copied the worst aspects of RPGs into an FPS game. I'm glad I've never given Bungie another dime since.

 

[RNGsus]

The casualites have become the casualties?

What? He's right. For those of us who actually like games and know things should be better...a lot better, the decline is hitting us hard. It means if we want good new games, if we want to see logical evolution of game design, if we want to enter the industry ourselves as passionate developers and so on, we're shit out of luck. Decline dominates and there's little room for good old fashioned incline.
