In publishing they're nearly the same thing. Sure there are promotional copies for reviews and a few other edge cases, and maybe they have percentage put on reserve but they issue physical copies of a game based on orders from retailers, meaning retailers bought them from the publisher in order for them to issue them in those amounts. Now, the one who lost money more directly would be retailers themselves, as they took the risk on buying those orders, and they may have some percentage they can return to the publisher as part of a contract, but ultimately in physical game sales the middleman retailer takes more risk than the publisher, which is why it was always a specialty market and tough to succeed in.
I already refuse to spend more than £50 for a game. I have enough of a backlog to comfortably wait for a title to go on sale. They can charge £100 for a game if they want, I just won't be buying it.
$90 for digital physical game with digital artbook and a "thanks for letting us scam you" letter? I remember buying Homeworld 1 and that has a short story in the manual for the basic edition. A lot of games around that time had nice manuals with art and lore bits. Why did that go away?
Normalize gaming companies selling physical versions that INCLUDE a digital download. Movies used to give you a DVD, Blu-Ray, AND digital download. Don't let gaming companies cheap out!
This is absolute BS. For what do I need a fancy steel case if there isn't even a disc to put in it? Why even produce a box, if nothing exist to put in? They didn't really think this one through, did they?
Hot? Wow bud...your standards... You realize the woman can barely get through the topics out of lack of enthusiasm. You think she can be a hostess? Yeah right
I would rather see someone who would be into it presenting. I feel like Vara would be more hyped about it. But there's bound to be a up-and-coming nerdy woman on TH-cam looking for a shot.
Vara, save yourself some money on AC Floyd and pay $17 for Ubisoft's pass thing. Cancel if, and you will have played Assassin's Creed BLM for cheaper than actually buying it.
You know, I actually appreciate all these woke gaming companies for doing their best to counteract the federal reserve making money out of nothing, by turning money into nothing.
Also, to take your joke far too seriously, the best way to start deflation is to have most consumers stop buying things and save their money for long periods. Which is definitely what all these awful games are causing gamers to do!
For the Arcade Road Trip, make sure you include Brookfield, Illinois's very own Galloping Ghost Arcade with almost 1000 arcade games. That place is great!
If I was in charge of EA I'd blacklist anyone responsible for this veilguard mess. If these people want to mmake stupid games they should do it with their own money and their own reputation because I definitely wouldn't let them do it with mine. Then again, I wouldn't have even hired them in the first place so woulnd't even be in this situation.
If Air Canada is giving out tuna wraps on their flights I might actualky start using them again. Plus, if other people are going to free up the plain because of what is a pretty inoffensive odor (all things considered), More room to stretch out.
Okay so here's where you need to improve: - keep the nominations to games from the current year - do away with the cartoon avatar hosts, they're not real people - if you have a music composer let them announce music awards, not best multi-player experience 🤦♂ - let the winners accept their award and have a speech - have a lifetime achievement for someone in the industry that deserves it for their hard work Glad I could help. 👍
I have to pay a live license for a program that is specific to what i do as a work. These programs are inherently expansive because it's for specialized professional fields of works and it allows you to make better money for knowing how to use it and because you have that specialization. It's less expansive than Netflix new prices.
I hope these triple A companies sell their games for $100 I just want them ro put the final nail in the coffin on themselves, doing this will signal boost indies more than they already have.
Btw, Netflix premium is $28 NZD a month... So $15.83 USD. If they were charging us what they charge you, it'd be $44.22 NZD. But I hated how it kept asking me to confirm I am still watching every few eps so just went back to the high seas. Netflix genuinely seems to hate its userbase.
I waited for space marine 2 to drop to 50 from 70 but assains creed I don't plan on buying if it price drops I still have assian creed chronicles to events play through on my ps5. I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more backlash that they put petting the dog in shadows yet they couldn't pet the dog as well as the black samurai basically being the incredible hulk because yeah that's samurai for you lol. Hulk smash and concentrate go boom lol.
Vera Dark is a hypocrite! She dunks on games but yet she buys them and grifting on them. Biggest hypocrite on TH-cam! But i need to show you guys.... Nobody wants to waste 20 hours watching AC Shafows streams
Did you enjoy or purchase veilguard, dustborn, concord, or any of the other myriad flops last year? If you’re not part of the “modern audience” then what are you actually complaining for? You have the freedom of speech, but with a take like that no one wants to hear it.
Agreed. Don't listen to the covers who jump to the automatic defense of "you must like dragon age or dustborn" because they're so implemented that they can't fathom the thought of someone disagreeing with the grift that they've fallen victim to.
@DartjuDU i just wish it wasn't so surface level with them clearly walking into spots they really don't know anything about. An craigs constant "dei is dying!" Comments when you have the person who literally told you about it in the first place saying its not even remotely doing that
d00ds...bout time with the Malik clip 😂 ...expected it on another show, but can't remember which one...🤔 (I'm deep in thought now 🫣). Happy Friday guys 🕹
Your half assed pay to play award show was the perfect way to show everyone that you are grifting off of drama. You dont care about any of this, you care about money and propping up your circle of friends who cant evem be vothered to leave the comforts of their homes to do a show. Pathetic.
@WayStedYou that's not the point. Anyone with a brain knows that the game awards are a bloated waste of money. But this "real" game awards show was supposed to be for the people....if they pay. And at least people come together at Jeff's joke of a show. These people are so lazy and covid brained that they won't even leave the confines of their homes to get together and do a show. Gor godsakes, Craig was standing in front of a green screen and acted like he was in an arcade because (hello fellow gamers)
I remember that there was an ad campaign for the MacIntosh that leaned into the reference to the story 1984 by George Orwell.
Was that actually John St. John doing the Duke voiceover? If so, that is awesome!
I appreciated what you did TRGA. Improvements can be made but it got down to business and was entertaining.
THEY NEVER said they "SOLD 1.5 million copies" they ISSUSED 1.5 millions copies ! BIG BIG DIFFERENCE !!!!
Well, sold to distributors, and chain stores... On the corpo books counts as sold.... even if consumers never touch it.

@@asdasd-ty9seYeah I refuse to buy a 20 year old total war game that is MORE expensive than when it was new.
@@Oblithian or hoi 4 with it’s several hundred dollars of dlc
I draw the line at 70. And a new game needs to be SPECTACULAR for me to spend that.
Like Vara mentioned at the end, I'm also hyped for Hello Kitty Island Adventures lol

Would "Court" from the TikTok $50 clip not be a better choice? 👀 No offense to Blab(b)eroony 😋
Nah, guy. Blabs is the furthest thing from "hot".
Bro, have some standards.
blu ray isnt going anywhere lol, its just sony ending production of recordable blu rays for home use. Movies will still come on disc.
And it's not like Sony is the only company producing recordable discs. Intenso and all the others aren't going anywhere.
Amen Craig! I cut my teeth on SFII and refused to play MK bc of that block button. MK was so janky vs SF's fluid animations.
Ocarina of time, holds up today with the 3DS version.

Ubisoft did it to themselves! They deserve all the criticism they're getting and then some.
Vara, save yourself some money on AC Floyd and pay $17 for Ubisoft's pass thing. Cancel if, and you will have played Assassin's Creed BLM for cheaper than actually buying it.
No, give them no money. Zero. Stop this...
Sooo you're comfortable giving them money to not own their game? I think you are their target audience!
You know, I actually appreciate all these woke gaming companies for doing their best to counteract the federal reserve making money out of nothing, by turning money into nothing.

I'm exactly the same with Vara about Avowed.
Twilight Princess is still my favorite Zelda game
1:21:18 They made Ella Purnell in avowed

Back in the 90's Phantasy Star 4 went for $100.
A 100% pay cut would be way too much money for Bob Eiger.
Vera Bright 😂 That’s Cool 🎉

They already did that in Syndicate and Unity... So this "revolutionary combat" system is going back to 2014-2017 era?

I have not seen an Arizona Tea can for 99¢ in about a decade
They are literally twice that
I guess it depends where you are, here in the souteast us they are still 99 cents
and they ask you to report anyone selling it for more than 99 cents to them
@@WayStedYou they took the 99¢ off the label so it could be sold for more
They are just lying
No Razorfist in the intro?! 😂
Prolly best to distance yourselves from that fella.

Games here in New Zealand have been $100+ for years
For a 100 bucks? A game.I would play for years and years with increasing quality. Closest to it I have is ESO, an MMO, and it cost me 30 BUCKS.
i thought we already had a pink Ninja in MK called Rain...
Rain is purple not pink.

I just had a idea Mr Craig.... Selaco looks awesome but is only on steam , could the Real Game Awards help get this game ported to consoles ? 🤔✌✌
I was most interested in Selaco out of the games highlighted, but not enough to pay $35 on steam. Felt way closer to a $15 game imo.
@@samuel5591 eh turns out the Selaco dev is kind of a nutjob 🤣 I take back my suggestion

Yeah, Savvy is insufferable. It must be hard to be so lonely that you think Savvy is attractive.
She has the crazy eyes.
cant stand her
Vera doesn't know that MK sells more than any other fighting game. And MK1 is successful .
