I would completely stop gaming if gaming companies did this.

I'd stick to my classics. It's not like I'm going to be charged to evolve my pokemon or get the master sword.

I think he's talking about free-to-play tho... then having RMT in game when people are invested. While the reloading example is a bit far, that's just good business sense: League of Legends does this really well

Exactly. This thread is kinda taking what he said out of proportion. He's pretty much explaining why games like LoL and other F2P games do so well. Get players invested and charge for things on the side.

Essentially talking to stocvk holders on how best to gouge us of money ... ermmm sorry. Charge more.
He specifically says its not price gouging, its charging more after the player is invested.


But I took it as he was wanting to implement something similar becasue it works so well.

I can't access YouTube now, so what is he saying ?

read the op

Asking for $1 for any reload ? Is he completely insane ?

Does he knows how much a soldier reloads in game ? Each silver run in multiplayer would cost me probably $45...

Can someone tell me exactly what he said from this video (can't access YT until wednesday)

If we encourage this it will expand I don´t mind paying for cosmetic items like in league of legends you don´t have to do that to play the game but.

But to pay to reload ??? seriously you are ok with this ??

I sincerely hope this is taken out of context. It might well be. I could see some sense in microtransactions as the way forward that would protect the industry from pirating, but the way things are put here sounds just ominous.

Reloading your clip for a dollar? Takes all realism out of the game. Plus it sucks if you're handed a rifle with a small clip or your aim isn't too well.

Nah, I think he just uses a very poor example to make his point come across. I get the idea, but I think this might be a bit out of context - for did we pay for a copy or is it, as CaptainJacques said, free to play?

I like slamming companies, but not without a proper reason. This is a bit too easy. Let's focus on holding the line.

And judging by several people I've seen, they'll buy it.

The common stance about microtransactions seems to be "Hell yeah! I only pay for what I want!"

So yeah, if you want to reload, if you want to see the next scene, better pay up. If you don't pay, you just don't want it bad enough.
As I see it, he's batsh** loco, but as long as customers are even crazier, he'll pull through with that

If people are stupid enough to pay 15 bucks a month for a single player game then why not? Take the money from the stupid and give it to the smart. They know better ways to use it anyway.

GOT IT! Boycott such nosense. Thanks God we are in free market and not in Soviet Union....

And they say that Capitalism rocks. :|

the reason it does is because one company would try this, and die horribly in the backlash. any other company would know not to make the same mistake.


at least, that's how it's supposed to work.

Don't see how they are going to charge on cracked games...

if it is I will be sticking to my trusty xbox 360 even if xbox live service is no longer around.

He's basically saying that at a certain point, a gamer is so invested in a particular game that they no longer think clearly and so, this is the perfect time to ask them to pay more to keep playing.

His example is someone who has been playing Battlefield for 6hrs and they run out of ammo so they have to pay $1.00 to restock and keep playing.

Guys I know it sounds bad but he's picking something like that to explain a point. If you listen to him it's obvious that what he's talking about is moving away from the current model of getting a game for X amount of dollars and instead moving more toward a F2P model.

I can't fault him for looking around at new price schemes. Everyone's doing that now with free to play games, episodic games, etc. The current method of paying $60 up front for a game is an incredibly huge gamble for a developer.

[Storenumber9]

Honestly, the guy is talking about the viability in the Free to play model. His analogy was terrible, but I see his point.

People are more likely to invest money in a product they've tried. Especially when they're given free reign over the product up to a point.

I will say, however, that F2P models are often half-assed, though. The only recent game that I can think of to date that doesn't completely destroy its self with a Pay-2-win model is Tribes, and I still think that game needs some work.
