Depends, building good games that establish goodwill and a strong franchise will make you more money in the end than the quick pump and dump mobile game candy crush bullshit.

The difference is that the mobile game model can exist perpetually in a state of pump and dump because the platform of mobile is essentially purpose built to be a time waster. Consoles and PC games are intended to be an activity in themselves instead of a way to take a smoke break, the ramifications of attempting to convert the standard videogame model to the pump and dump model has been successful depending on your definition.

Sure we’ve established that whales exist in every market and some people will buy every MTX they can even if it’s CoD or whatever, but we’ve also seen people who used to spend a considerable amount of money on games stop doing so, because the market doesn’t cater to their preferences. That’s the point Larian is making, you can create a true fan base with their model, you can only create addicts with the pump and dump model.

Land. Value. Tax.

Value.

Tax.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can have my convenience

FTFY

Also, the only truly bad competition is subsidized competition. As long as it’s not surviving on some kind of grant or funding, instead of its actual market value, then it’s always a good thing as it keeps competitors on their toes.

Fanboys and monopolies, name a better combination.

Damn, that’s crazy that you have the time to so seriously inconvenience yourself so you can feel good about this.

Let me guess, you live in a city and forget that not everyone lives in a city?

Played it for like six hours last night and I didnt even realize the announcers were AI generated. It can’t be that bad if it’s passable to those who aren’t informed.

Even being on Linux isn’t enough for Linux users, now. Gotta have every piece of software they approve of and none of the ones they don’t. On top of it you have to use it for the same reasons, too.

Fucking Christ, you guys make me want to never mention that I use Linux.

Konsi is best goblin for sure.

Looks like they’re unloaded with the receivers locked back, no different than looking down the barrel while cleaning it.

It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.

Get that shit under control and then maybe I’ll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol

Though if I was really lost I think I’d be answering every call tbh.
