It's a race to the bottom. Everyone competing for the worst gaming company position.
Yup. Meanwhile I’m just over here with the 🍿
I love Riot
If people buy it that’s the consumers problem. We need to stop blaming companies for our spending habits as consumers.
@@1kbmahan Agreed.
They've all reached critical mass and it's about extracting as much value out of their customers as they can.
Pay $90 to have 3 days of server crashes and lag is more like it
that what u tell urself xd since bfa launch didnt experience that many crash on launch unless u play on asmon server xD but i agree that kinda garbage that they done that
@@Psylo94 Can you say "xd" one more time for us, just as a treat?
@@Psylo94 Bro just forgot about classics launch lol
just means its going to happen twice since there're 2 release dates lmao
Only 3 days? Is Blizzard it would be a week.
In my country there is an cool quote from cartoon that perfectly describes AAA companies
“Look how the stench fights for dominance.”
Only that they still make profit and continue to exist
@@jakislol1111because of the advertising from “content creators” who would do anything for a quick buck
please what cartoon is this?
@@edgarava1 Right its the advertisers fault, not the truckloads of mouth breathers taking actual money out of their accounts and gifting it directly to the companies.
@@edgarava1 thats MAYBE 5% of their revenue, it's mostly people that don't watch videos like this, that don't go on twitter, that don't look at comments, that just pay the money because they have no self value. They go to work, live their miserable lives, come home and overpay for shitty products. There is a reason Uber Eats is so popular, they charge $20 dollars for a 5 dollar sandwich. And people still order it, no questions asked. The world of full of stupid people.
this holds special weight in WoW, considering the "first of the realm" achievement rush
First of the realm. Pressure to buy in from any serious-ish raiding guild. Heavy pvpers enjoyers. Not to mention all the griefing potential from no lifers who can get ahead and mess with the standard players when they finally get in. Lol
@@Flavalicious No lifer still an excuse in 2024 for being bad at the game?

@@vividly94 the more time you spend on something the better you get usually, that didn't change over the years. It's not like a song that gets outdated. I mean it's clear you are stupid, but how low can one go?
Thank god indie games exist
Thank god i can just go back to playing the older games that i bought and paid for
For now
Paid $30 for early access Hades 2 and it's more compete than most full launches from major studios
Indie games and thousands of games from the 90s, 2000s and 2010s, even a few games from the 2020s do justice, for all I care those companies can sell their games at 1000 dollars with a 100gb day 1 patch, a black transgender Muslim disabled protagonist and having game breaking bugs for years, I won't spend any money on AAA unless they prove to be good games and fairly priced.
Thank god Nintendo and Steam exist.
@@shame857 Trueeeeeeeeeeee. 10+ years of steam backlog games here I come!
There's a hidden 0$ option in there and I'm taking it.
For freeeeeeeeeee? Sorry, had to.
"The real minimum wage is always zero."
This will be the first time I don’t buy an expansion at launch, if I even ever decide to buy the game lol. Haven’t been subbed for a like 4 months now and I wasn’t subbed for like 5 before that lol.
"If I don't buy it, the discount is bigger"
Same option I took for dragonflight. Worth every penny
Now if we look at FF14 with Dawntrail, both editions give you the 4 Days Early Access.
The 35 $ or the 50 $ Version
So, it has early access but everybody gets it so it doesn't really?
@@hanswurst2923 Its for pre-orders, which basically everyone does anyway.
@@hanswurst2923It’s a pre-order bonus. So ya it doesn’t really matter.
@@hanswurst2923it has early access for pre ordering. So most people will get it no matter the price point yeah, but the crowd that crusades against pre orders won’t.
@@hanswurst2923 Pre-order is the early access. So yes basically everyone gets it unless you wait 4 days to buy it at the "official" release.
bro Nikolai Nosov predicted that shit in the 60s, soon we'll have hotels where they charge you 10$ for having a bed in your room and 10$ extra for having a mattress on there
And $50 to have the toilet unlocked. Water is running just so it puts more pressure on you.
@@Someguy6571 classic
I predicted this in 1933
its not just blizzard and ubisoft. More game companies are starting doing this kind of shit...
if it works, why wouldn't they do it. can't blame them. the power is in the consumers hands, and the consumers purchase this. so the blame is on us.
@@DoctorBoom. i agree on that, reason why no matter how much we hate it, there are still people who like to consume it and base on how the gaming industry is becoming like this, i assume the people who consume it are much more compare to people who hate it.
Because there's people like Doctor who are the issue, people who will go "Oh well, I'm still gonna buy it"
Kinda sad actually
does it really matter in the long run?
I remember excitedly hanging out at GameStop with a crowd of nerds waiting for the midnight release of TBC so we could rush home and play ASAP.
Getting heavy “the world you grew up in, no longer exists” vibes from this video
yah,, those were good old days... now its so shallow and empty.
Same. I was outside EBGames for the midnight launches of Diablo 3 and a few of the Pokemon games back in the day, it was great! Had a really great Pokemon battle with a complete stranger one time. Feels like those days are long gone now...
I remember Call of Duty used to have lines.
it's over in so many ways, it's unfathomable.
now all they do is just milking poor fans
That's the most active we have seen Asmond in a video, the speed was crazy
Oh you know he felt that damage to his soul.
These price schemes and "premium perks" are entirely disrespectful to gamers.
I agree, the value of epic edition was good enough before
They do it because gamers pay to be disrespected. They deserve it.
The three days isnt actually as impactful as people are trying to make it out to be. It helps the server load in MMOs by giving them a bit of a buffer. Despite to headstart, everything else unlocks at the same time.
@@PsiDebby 3 extra days to farm expensive early expac mats is a pretty big advantage imo
Microtransactions have no place in paid, singleplayer games. That's my opinion.
That man genuinely looked hurt when he saw that.
we all did, lad
He's hurt because he knows he's gonna buy it anyway.
Jokes aside, I really hope he doesn't. Like my brother in law said, $40 can get you almost 3 MONTHS of game time, why spend it for 3 DAYS of game time?
@@1vysaur002 I doubt he has to even spend money. Pretty sure he has millions of gold to buy multiple WoW tokens that can be sold for blizzard credits.
im numb to it now. People tolerate and support these practices its only the norm that companies know how much more $$ they can make now. No self control for gamers.
@@1vysaur002because it's a hostage situation: to be relevant as a streamer most need to have as early access to new content as possible, otherwise the streamers who pay extra will be the ones whose videos get views.
Meanwhile on FFXIV side, you just have to preorder the expansion to get "early access" (=play on launch).
I think it is also cheaper.
Just dont pre order period. There litteraly no reasons outside of small studios who give you an ea vs funds to help them finish the project properly. None at all. It just a way to Milk the dummies for a product you got no sure way to know if it gonna be good.
@@thebrokenmask8304 I mean, if you're planning to keep on playing the same MMO, you can surely preorder if it is the same price anyway (in case of ff14). In case of wow, the scummy thing is that you have to pay extra for early access
@@meekrophone_ yeah sure for mmo's if it the same price (or if they give you some goodies) and you know you will keep playing it aint too greedy but for let say Assasins creed or things like starfield pre orders are just pointless.. it like paying up front for something that you have a 50/50 chance to regret.
@@meekrophone_ That's exactly that. It's the normal edition of the expansion, and if you're already playing it or plan to return for the expansion, you may as well preorder. And the preorder bonus just is to play on patch day and you get useful bonus items (+30% exp earring with level-scaling stats)
Early Access for everyone, who preorders (i.e. existing players), not just the wales.
People saying FF14 does it, they do it every year for PRE ORDERS. Not the collectors edition.
You know you fucked up big time when you make the goblin king leave his chair.
Gaming companies having scum wars as always.
its not scume wars.................they have to get creative to dupe the players into paying more for games instead of just telling htem up front it hsould cost more, but MOST gamers are so fucking cheap they dont understnad games SHOULD cost more than they did 10 years ago..........
its gamers fault, they cry about any increse to box price, if gamers would have just let them raise prices on games we would not be in the sutiation we are in now.(MAYBE NOT)
@@aaronclay4665 games companies are litteraly more profitable now than they were 10 years ago. If anything games should be cheaper today like all other mass market products. Gaming used to be niche and such had justifiably high prices because of their limited consumer base. Nowadays its a massive near endless market but not only aree they not making it cheaper there actually charging more because of greed. Dont be a stupid shill if you cant understand basic economics of scale.
@@rawrmonster6782I highly doubt games should be cheaper these days when you have game developers literally spending over $100M to make some of these games.
Not to mention companies do this because people keep buying them. If their bottom line actually represented how the vocal community always feels these companies would be in the dirt. But they’re not cause most of these people will complain but still buy it.
@@ShdwVoItrix look at their earnings over the years its public info smh learn to search
@@aaronclay4665 "AAA" Games do cost more, and have for a long time. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, you could get an ENTIRE, COMPLETE, big budget game for 50-60 bucks. But now, if you want everything a "AAA" game will offer, its at least $100, if not closer to $200 with all the ultra mega deluxe editions, battle passes, and DLC. And that's before any microtransactions they're nearly guaranteed to have. And those prices have only gone up over the last 20 years.
The entire reason the "AAA" companies are trying to offer more BS "features" like early access now is because their sales are obviously slipping. They're getting desperate, and need to find more ways to keep their sales numbers up to appease their shareholders. But they can't simply decrease the price, because that would also piss off their shareholders. They've reached the end of their infinite growth ropes, and they have nowhere else to go.
Meanwhile, Indie games have stayed basically the same price this entire time. The games that are still made by less than 100 people, with no massive investment firms looming over them, are still charging the same amount for their products that they have for the last 40 years. And they're doing just fine. So no, games clearly don't need be more expensive. That's just another lie the "AAA" companies tell to justify what basically amounts to theft.
BTW FF14 has early access as well but at no additional cost, only pre-order for $40 TOTAL. The entire expansion + early access with nothing missed for 40 dollars. Hell I'm 80% sure that the biggest reason there is an early access at all is for a census and buffer period to help deal with server stress, though it never is enough help lol
This and probably, players who preorder take time off or would play on launch regardless, while players who just buy on or after release would probably wait for the next weekend to play or after their holidays etc. Early access is basically the real launch for everyone who cant wait and want to play instantly while the "real launch" is just for casuals/family people, who would wait to buy and play anyways. And its still the same price.
FF14 is also weeaboo trash, with not much to offer gameplay wise. If I wanted a good story I'd read book or watch a movie
What I find problematic in FF pay model, is that they trust their story is SO GOOD, that you can PAY to skip it.
@@jirachie9772 Or they acknowledge that there's a lot of people out there that only play MMO's for end-game content and decided to monetize their rush for said content.
@@ruggedlemmings9163 I mean, obviously. Predatory pricing at its best. They f their customers, but absolutely for a good profit.

The people who make the games probably don't want to do this BS......it's likely the corporate overlords who want to squeeze out every last penny.
@@oldsoul1758 The people who made WoW has left the development team a very long time ago.
@@oldsoul1758 If the corporate overlords turn the game market into a dustbowl wasteland; then that's fine. There's a limit to how many times you can push the "Make money at the expense of the customer" button. Too many corporate overlords push that button and they'll saturate the market. Saturate the market and the corporate overlords all pushing the same button all go bust.
@@oldsoul1758 I don't know about that since many good devs and staffs left Blizzard already and it's not the same as before and Blizzard also kind of supporting the woke culture a bit. would i believe there are some devs that just want to make good games? i would say yes but very few i think.
This isn't Blizzard, it's Microsoft. When you're a company under them, you might be allowed to develop without intervention if you bring money in, but that doesn't mean that sales models aren't going to be forced upon Blizzard.

Nothing will stop them from doing it as long as people still give them money
Not really, early access isn’t new; but the game costing $40 more may break the camels back. We’ll see when Star war outlaws drops
The epic edition is pretty good value, even if you take out the early access. I don’t know why they had to do this :(
@@geemo it is not good value lol....
@@nukem8128 it is. You get a mount, a tmog set, toy, 500 tender, a hearthstone effect, beta access to TWW, and a month game time for $40 more than base. Pretty good imo, even without early access
But it doesn't cost them any extra to give pre-release access right?

The one fun part is all the returning players playing together with a somewhat level playing field to start, casual and hardcore. Even that is gone now
Video games have always been a time-sensitive hobby, mostly due to the social aspect. It's why Xbox players felt like losers getting BG3 like 6 months later than everyone else, because the discourse around the game had already ended, and they had been left out.
@@CharityDiary This is where I disagree with most players... My approach is wait and see and never pre order nothing. IMHO the best time to get a game is from 1-2 years after release because:
1 - You get all the patches/fixes/dlcs in one package at a HEAVY discount sale (sometimes with good deals like 80% off).
2 - Always wait for reviews from trusted sources or streams to see if the game is something worth buying or even playing.
3 - By waiting enough time, you can see if the dev/publisher will do unwanted changes on the game that will make the gamers not wanting to play it anymore.
I only play single player offline games since 2011, so this is a good route to take in gaming for me, I get it if other players don't want to wait to play an online only game later, but then they risk crap like Redfall, Unlive Squad(screw censorship ffs), The Day After and so on... You get what I mean.
It was very scummy when Ion was asked about it destroying that level playing field new expacs bring and he basically said "no we've been careful to make sure it doesn't upset the balance of things". So what he's saying is buy the most expensive edition but we promise it wont give you an advantage. Uhh then why does it exist? Got to give him props tho. He managed to give the obvious bullshit response and also make a really bad argument for people to buy it at the same time.

Especially for a product that most likely is gonna suck, at least given Blizzard's track record as of late.
Got a better one: Imagine playing a game on release... Instead of waiting at least 2 years for all the patches/fixes/dlcs all in one package at a discount sale price (paying sometimes 80% less than the release price for a better/more polished product). Not to mention after seeing all the reviews from trusted sources or streams to see if the game is actually worth buying or to see if you're being scammed along the way...
The last game I bought on release was Starcraft 2 (the first campaign one) and then regretted it cause i had to wait for the other 2 campaigns to be able to play the whole complete game... After that I went with the wait and see approach (the only games I ever pre ordered in my life was the physical releases of the TBC and WOTLK because they would go out of stock for sure).

If other companies will step up like CDPR.
step up in terms genre/number in games.
As of now in AC the only competition is Ghost of Tsushima. and new ac rpg is witcher 3 copy. and riders republic. we need more racing games like those that is not just cars.
now with unreal engine 5 cdpr could do multiplayer/coop games also. Hope they could make a parkour/stealth game like AC that is in third person. It seem people like third person more with parkour.
Dude got so mad he left the room
I dont understand surprise there. It was known from very begining of preorders thats game on launch date is available only in most expensive package.
Meanwhile im over here still playing my modded skyrim and rimworld, not great but not this.
I'm also back to playing old games actually....currently playing lots of Age of empires 3 (favorite childhood game) ....and the crazy thing is it's just available for free on Steam....
why do people still support these money grubber companies.
Asmon had to go on a spirit walk after seeing that.
Something some do not understand, it is an option so insignificant for most that 90%+ won't buy it and just wait the few extra days, but in the off chance there are some that gonna pay the extra just so they can play it a few days earlier it is 100% profit for them without having to spend on any resources.
If anything i find it genius if their statistics show that there is no decline in their player base.
I was early access to this video and I still feel robbed!
FFXIV does this too, but with them, it's just preordering ANY edition of the new expansion. Imagine having to pay $40 extra for a 3 day headstart.
Exactly. I think most people wouldn't really care if it was just a bonus for preordering like in FF14. At least in the grand scheme of things it probably doesn't really matter but its still fucked up.
The first days are usually aweful, with lots of dcing, loooong queues.... so its insanity to ask money for that.
The thing is right now the $40 is not mainly focused on this, the $40 package has always been there since shadowlands and even before that but with less, and it was just for mounts, cosmetics and extra month of gametime, they just added the 3-Day early access thing in TWW with no price change, the problem is if this became the main focus later on
That's the good thing or less shit thing about it, all you need is whatever edition you get.
I remember Endwalker being pretty fine once you log in, there was just a massive queue after the 3 day period.
he needed to lay down after that
Good thing the titan brain editor renamed that other video back to "the store within"
In the chat - Yomiminah: "FF14 does it too with expansions." (0:49)
Well... not exactly, it is a pre order bonus. and not depending on which "Edition" you bought. as there is only 3 editions. Regular, Digital Collectors and Physical Collectors.
All get a few days early access if they preorder. the only real difference is some ingame items for Digital, and ofc some physical stuff for the IRL collectors edition.
the early access is most likely to not flood the servers all on the same day.
Now, is this good? eehh... No. Id prefer everyone to get access to the game at the same time.
Is it AS bad as "Fork out 40 USD more to get early access"? No, its not even in the same plane of existance.
I'm pretty sure that you can buy the expansion during that early access period and still get access to it. I think it's just called early access for marketing sakes.
im switching to FF
Was just about to bring this up, beat me to it. Yeah the way Square does it is a lot less agregoues. If you just pre order the standard edition, you can still get the early access, earring and Zidane minion, I'm excited!
@@Ilynnarisyeah, a pr stunt and maybe to justify an eventual issue with the game, like some emergency maintenance: "it's early access, will work fine upon release"
@@shrimp7988Naw FFXIV have prepared for this via the Endwalker issues. They're ready.
Damn. FFXIV just wants you to buy it early for the access.
Endwalker had 3 days Early Access. Not to mention FF14 has far more Shop Transmogs than WoW and the housing system is very FOMO/scummy.
@@VDA19It had early access the same way dawntrail has. It was a pre order bonus with no extra cost.
Also, wow tokens are way worse than any amount of transmogs lol.
The housing is not fomo lol. If you’re playing the game you keep the house. If you don’t use it for too long you don’t. And they e-mail you ahead of time to let you know if it’s getting close to being demolished. It’s definitely not anywhere as scummy as what blizzard does lol.
@@VDA19 It's not early access in the way this is so thats extremely disengenious. So long as you pre-order any edition you get "early access" which means the only way not to get it is to wait 4 days and buy it on the "official" release day. It's also far cheaper on every edition and even the subscription gives you an option to pay less with limited character slots. And don't bring the cash shop bullshit into it. FF14 is the only MMO I know where you can't access it from in the game client. And as others have said WoW tokens put just about every MMO to shame, even a lot of korean games.
@@omegaxtrigun The fact that you can stop playing for a bit and you lose the house is pure FOMO lol
@@VDA19 I mean that's to enshure the housing market is "reserved" for active players. Also (private) houses are ENTIRELY optional in FF14, with abolutely no benefit from having one, except for "look at me, i have a house". Guild houses are a different thing though, but then again it's enough that only one guild member has to enter the house once a month to prevent destruction.
Also... what's wrong with FF14's glamours (transmorgs)? No one is forced to buy any glamours and you can literally use any non-shop item to glamour aswell.
Or are you offended that FF14 has more glamours than WoW, in that case why?
Btw. WoW's transmorgs cost on averare almost twice as much as FF14's glamours.... so yeah... be offended that FF14 offers more and costs less... just like the expansion packs XD
you know blizzard messed up when you have Asmond walking fast with energy.
Wow, even FF14 Dawntrail Standard Edition comes with early access. Superior companies don't gatekeep their player base with $40 ransoms.
He gets mad and then still plays there Games 😵💫 if People would stop playing These bs Blizzard Games they had to Change something but if these idiots keep playing and keep buying Stuff from the Store then why the f would they change anything?
So it’s your own fault if you Support these Companys
Are you mad that your bills are too high? Just don't pay them. You don't like bills so you would have no problem with that but these people probably love this game and don't want to see it man handled anymore by this terrible company
He still plays coz it's his job 😂
@@jmw10891nice analogy.. comparing bills that are required otherwise they will turn off your power, to willingly buying into shitty games lmao, how stupid can you get. The answer is very. Aint nobody give a fk about modern wow
@@jmw10891 That analogy made no sense to be honest. Games are an optional hobby not affecting your ability to live and there are MULTIPLE gaming studios plus indie developers to choose from. Bills are mandatory directly affecting your ability to live while not having the same options available. Thus, people can easily CHOOSE to not play trash games from Blizzard and go support their biggest competition in order to make any sort of change. If they truly don't want "to see it man handled anymore by this terrible company" THEN STOP PLAYING IT. Simple logic.
@@jmw10891 That's the dumbest take in the long history of dumb takes.
meanwhile FFXIV for 40$ you get early access
for 50$ you get the digital collectors edition, though i feel like they keep them low on purpose because you still need a sub to play
yes but you also need a subscription still for WOW as well.
Doesn't matter of it's $10 or $40. Charging more money to play early is so unbelievably scummy. Have never seen a scummier way to milk a fanbase that that
@@nurplepain3636 In EU its 34,99€ for preorder and thats the same price it will have if you'll buy it after release outside of any sales. Early access is basically a preorder bonus, nothing more in FFXIV.
I can understand the blizzard one (which I don't agree with btw and find BS) where they said that the early access "won't give any advantages" other than hitting max level and the gearing will be locked till the first reset which is 2 days after the launch like every other expansion (and there was a huge discussion on it last November BTW), however the reason it is a bit understandable that it is an online game where you can actually access stuff before other players that you will see and interact with, however Ubisoft is doing that with single player story mode game, which doesn't make sense. They started doing that with D4 and almost everyone was on board.
Also, Lost Ark did the exact same thing back in 2022 and no one talked about it...
yeaaa good thing FFXIV will have a expansion going during this time
This is why I stick with FFXIV where the early access is simply by pre-ordering
You can pre-order FF14 Dawntail base edition for 40 bucks and get it early access.
Asmons personal editor guy is a goat, please continue to comment on his videos like this
Hey guys, just hear to say that to play FF14 expansions in early access, all you have to do is preorder(even just a few minutes before the early access period starts). Thought some of you might want to hear that.
It was so bad, that it made Asmon take his headphones off and walk out. Now that's rare
He might've even had to touch grass and water his flowers.
Blizzard: Yes we broke him. 😅
As an auto shop owner with insane overhead, people have no idea the insane inflation. I’m not talking about the price of eggs doubling, it’s well beyond that. I don’t even know what to charge without being too much while also staying in business, we’re dealing with play money.
I think most people are well aware of higher costs as they see it themselves, the problem is calling it just "inflation" really is besides the point, their is a reasons for price increases that goes beyond the usual excuses, and I think more people are catching on. I don't blame the game companies necessary for the cost increases, but their are certainly some in the chain that is the economy who are having a laugh by milking it.
@@diablosv36 even at a 4 million player base all buying just the base expansion still = $200 million dont kid yourself they didnt spend more then 20 mil on war with in. AOC for EG has a 30 million budget and its made in UE5.
its because people dont understand what inflation is. its the devaluing of the american dollar. its worth less today than it did just 20 years ago, which is why prices go up. at the end of the day yes you are playing with monopoly money because the government just keeps printing cash they cant back. you can thank mostly democrats for how bad inflation with their "stimulus checks", essentially making the dollar practically worthless.
@@diablosv36It is all so much more bigger than that.
My guy went down stairs to scream at dystopianism.
So what if you just wait, does the first option go away?
These companies are just trying to outdo each other in terms of who can get the most money from their customers lol

Thanks, Mike. Very cool of you.
Some have a patreon account.
I remember going to the store, purchasing a cassette tape or cartridge, going home, turning my C64 or Spectrum ZX or Atari, or later NES, Megadrive/Genesis, Super Nintendo etc on and never having to worry about anything else. The 80's and early 90's were such a cleaner time to grow up, in all aspects.
90/00 games were the best. Nowdays everything is just a money machine.
Although I’m aware that situation hasn’t fully been fully resolved: the Helldivers 2 community showed that players *can* influence the corps.
Ubisoft is bad, Blizzard is just worse
You know things are too serious when Asmon-papa left his room like that. 😅
Don't call him that, gross.
@@NeonKix Too late. 😂
what is wrong with you nephew, why are you calling some random man your papa. Please seek help and talk to your father
And here we have a society where people couldn't take a joke as a joke. 😑
@@starjadiancloneinvestigato1772you answered your own question. What father.
