EA: I'm the greediest game company.
Xaviant: Pay me five dollars to hold my beer.
comment of the day right here
Lol
more like buy me a beer for 5 dollars so u can hold it for me once per day or u can pay me more to hold it for me
Lol 😆 this comment through
"But first pay five dollars to see this comment."
I remember we joked about this years ago: "Hey, someday microtransactions are gonna get so bad they are going to charge you each time you want to play the game, lol." And now it's sadly reality...
next is 25 cents for a clip of ammo or health pack.
Watch you'll have to pay each time you press a button.
50p per step
StaticShock42 We already do
You don’t seem to realize that you just explained all mobile games in a nutshell. You get free energy, but it’s so slow that you have to pay for more. Remember that Harry Potter game?

It really sucks that no one's playing this game anymore because I didn't play it too much but I saw it had a lot of potential and I haven't found any other battle royale's like it because all battle royale's now just about guns the culling was mostly melee
@@Helfirehydra I am more or less against the 'battle royale' kinda gameplay, but that being out of the way -
this actually sounds exciting!
Being a person that sucks at shooters, this could have piqued my interest if they hadn't ruined it with their monetization...

Theory: EA paid them to do this as a dry run and to see the reaction
That theory makes more sense. Big companies can pay smaller companies to try new things so that they don't hurt their stocks by bad press.
Think about it.
1. Make a low effort game at a cheap cost.
2. Try to get any kind of player base to play it.
3. Try a ridiculous business model and gather data.
4. Send data to a big company and cash out.
It doesn't matter what kind of bad press you got or if players have criticisms about the game. The whole point was about gathering data. Of course this theory only makes sense if the player base is significant enough to actually get data.
Or an attempt at a new low so that "surprise mechanic" is solidified as an acceptable standard?
@@blacksalena0 that also makes sense

Lol that's cute but EA has been doing this business model for YEARS with Dungeon Keeper Mobile. This was actually an EA idea that Xavient copied.
"Even pay to win is better than this."

There will always be the smallest, but most devoted amount of idiots in the world who will comply with this horrible kind of system enough for it to be validated. I’d bet the money they would spend on these matches that there’s one born every minute who would play this garbage and like it.
@@masterXjakensu
The people who pay for loot crates, season passes, over priced cosmetics, and worthless preorder bonuses are the majority of "gamers" sadly.
The indie community is usually a reprieve from this crap, so this somewhat indie title trying out this sort of thing needs to be squashed .
Let me get this straight: You pay money *buying the actual game,* said game also has a feature where you *pay per match.*
EA Games: *Challenge everything*
EA: "It was inevitable."

Unfortunately the have so much competition
The thing that killed this game for me, if you remember, was that for the first month it was only available to TH-camrs and streamers, I was hyped and ready to play it but they wouldn't let me, by the time it came out i had already lost interest and i think others did too because when i remembered it existed and went to buy it, it was already a dying game
This ain't even a revival. This is just digging up a dead horse's grave and then beating the corpse.
Maybe they can monetize even that.
1 stick = 5 dollars
5 swings = 2 dollars
1 minute of beating time = 10 dollars
Oh I dunno, this seems more like exhuming it for necrophilia, beating the dead horse doesn't quite encapsulate the trainwreck fashion of charging people to not only buy but then again to play more than one game of a solely multiplayer game.
@@martins.4240 Digging up the dead horse and charging $5 per bat.
It's almost necromancy.
Yes
Developer: Nobody's playing our game!
Studio Exec: Clearly the problem is it isn't expensive enough.
Sounds just like Fallout 76 subscription...
@@Vodhr Lmao, even Fallout wouldn't go this low
We already did this in arcades. We need to keep moving forward not backwards.
No subscription, no battle pass.
We need more stardew and monster hunter!
Monster hunter has never asked me for a dollar. And my extra money goes to mhw toys and shirts.
Well, MHW actually charged $40 for an expansion, but man, it was worth it
Apheront Athanaric it’s the same system as their other games. They make a ‘G’ or ‘Ultimate’ version of the games with a lot of added content and a new difficulty level, they just packaged it as an expansion for MHW instead, and then we get the free title updates for free which In total are pretty much worth what a regular expansion would
Yeahhh but come on, paying to customize your character? Why?
Same with the most recent Modern Warfare I've never spent a penny and can still get all of the stuff it's great having games like that, free stuff constantly.
@@TheTroygames I agree to a certain extent. I feel like there should be a package that you can get full of common customization items, but for the normal stuff with buffs you should have to pay. I mean the game is already free.
Imagine taking a dead game and limiting it to one free play a day lol. "This will surely bring in revenue bois!"
It stops the server load for sure.
I'd rather go to an arcade than play this game.
Same payment concept.
Actually, it's a little better considering that there are no skin economies or DLC at an arcade. You pay once and get everything the game has to offer. Hell, you can even win tickets at an arcade that you can trade in for actual prizes.
@@OmegaZyion don't t have to worry about online play either.
The difference is you don't have to buy the machine to pay to play the game. Even if you were to buy a machine, most machines have a free play option in the test menu.
グラサングーSunglassesgoo even if it doesnt, you can open the machine and manually trip the quarter sensor to play as you like.

"The risk was calculated, but man am I bad at math"
I rate that
Fantastic meme
Meme Approved
I have an better idea: when you die(don't win) , the game automatically gets removed from your Xbox account.
Not only that it gets deleted from the Microsoft store and never appears on the Xbox again
Trickyy nah you have to pay $5.99 to get it back
Also it nukes your account as well 👍
I like this idea
Don't give them idea!!! Lol

I’ve seen people calling this a money laundering scheme and this is honestly the only way that this game makes sense
I was thinking the same thing. Something is fishy.
It does makes sense the more you think about it. Even some of the worst monetization schemes from the greedy corporate titans such as EA and Activision didn't reach to such insanly greedy levels that Xaviant is reaching right now. I wouldn't be surprised if the game only lasts a few weeks before having to shut down because even people who defend the aforementioned greedy companies (Not Xaviant) would shake their heads at this shit.
Maybe it's just farming pr and they change it in a week
@@Kappi__ that would make sense aswell
I didn't even know anything about this game just before watching this video.
Me neither, I think I saw one let's play of it and forgot about it afterwards.
Same, I had no clue the game ever existed before this video honestly
I watched it back when it was still kind of popular, it was cool as it was one of the first battle royales, but the gameplay was kind of boring and repetitive
Good
Me neither, and apparently for a good reason
This game shows how dumb and greedy humans can be when creating games.
EA: “ummm let’s shelf this idea for now”
You gotta love how they use the whole "one free match per day!" As if they are doing us a favor smh
That's how marketing works, put a positive spin on it even if they're slowly strangling your infant :D
Imagine you get on to play your first match, then your controller dies, your dog trips over the power chord, perhaps your like me and just cant figure out how to open your parachute lol
Being like the first one dead is never fun, it allways feels like a waste of time to get into another game, now imagine also loosing 30 cents every time you die, ive died about 3k times in BR games combined, that would have cost 1500$.
I mean they are by helping us get out of the game so we can do something better with our lives 😂
Now you understand the only gripe about Ace Combat Infinity: one free fuel every 4 hours, total of 3 in 12 hours.
The game was brilliant except for this.
Fred Krazé exactly what I was thinking
The only culling going on is that of the developer’s bank account.
You can tell how much YongYea was not trying to laugh while making this video.
This is the first time I've ever heard of this game.
*“We get messages everyday for The Culling to come back.”*
Who tf asked for this?
All one people are gonna be hyped for this!
The same people who kept playing Anthem, I bet.
Probably sent the messages to his own email, poor man's copyright.
The 2 people who played the culling 2, presumably
Everyone at their studio
I feel like the entertainment industry is going through a kind of “slow suicide”
its called a crash what were seeing now is the same thing people saw right before the first crash arrogant companies realsing trash buggy games in mass scaming and treating coustmers like trash while paying of all game reviewers to say only good things and lie all right before the entire gaming industry got thrown into the abyss that was a crash
@@wilmagregg3131 I mean that's what caused the original crash. If you make a big budget game in only half a year, and sell it for over $100, people eventually wise up and stop buying. One bad investment could lead to a total collapse of a publisher, which is what happened to Atari. When so much of your income relies on micro-transactions, what happens when people stop buying them? I think the crash will be localized, there isn't one single publisher holding up the entire industry like there was back then, but micro-transactions are nearing the edge of a cliff regardless.
Too slow,
I'd argue its been going on for years now. Each generation of consoles, there seems to be less 'gem' games. I mean this generation had like a handful that were up there, RDR2/God of War, Spidey to name some.
Am still waiting for the game that hit the ET level of badness to start the crash.
This play tokens system is especially ridiculous for a battle royale game where there would probably be 50-100 players per match, but only 1 of them will get their free token! Especially, as someone else mentioned, if that person is a hacker who gets the chance to ruin another 99 players’ matches for free $o$.
Best part of this video imo is seeing yong try is hardest not to scream laugh in rediculous fashion and go on a crazy mans rant as he reads the features
That moment when it's so bad Yong doesn't bother with an actual title

darter9000 its a shame to have so little likes for a genius comment XD.
If you think about it arcade machines were really just made to be hard as fuck to get as much money as possible, the video game industry has evolved for the better with a few select companies building trust for consumers.. Until The Culling came along.
aracedes are getting out of date and here's me still waiting for kancolle arcade to come to my country.
imagine hopping in a match and the game crashes
The lunatics that implemented this certainly didn't imagine...
I can just imagine "No please don't shoot me I can't afford to rematch!"
"Only the winner can continue to play" He's going to be all alone in the lobby waiting for players, that may never come, for the next match. Such a great idea to make sure matches are filled, boot everyone out! Makes perfect sense!

@@dylanbell268 nothing wrong with a battle pass I don't think anyway I honestly don't mind it, but loot boxes are fucked the difference is you know what your getting with a battle pass, you get 100 or more tiers of content yes payed for 10 dollars but sometimes it's worth it if you want to grind that battlepass with gameplay it's actualy fun unlocking each thing, but loot boxes can go to help and burn with Hitler
Yeah... And here i though that the most absurd they could get was charging for save slots (yes. That happened. Fucking MGSurvive). And now they went just... Beyond. The full money devouring experience of an arcade in the comfort of your home.
This just popped up on my recommended, crazy how this was 2 years ago.
There's always that one guy who takes a joke too far and ends up killing it and this game is it.
EA: **Monetize everything**
Xaviant: **Does something worse**
EA: Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a jedi
Ea is like Hitler but even Hitler cared for Germany or something.
Xaviant: yea for two million dollars
The scary part? This might be standard in a few years... Everyone shunned the horse armour DLC and now we have skin packs in every second game.
I remember that.
W/e who cares. Nobody even plays those games. At least nobody with any shred of self respect. They might as well charge you 100$ for a minute of gameplay and nothing would change. Just go play indie games.
I highly doubt it. Remember the meltdown of EA SW Battlefront II?
Subscription-based online game was the standard a few years back.
...Except that those are good games.
This makes me so sad. I remember in highschool my friend bought the culling 1 on launch and really enjoyed it. I came over one day and he let me play it. For hours we would take turns and I had it set in stone that once I got my first gaming PC I would buy the game and play with him. That day never came, and I ended up getting my PC but after the game was shutdown. I only have that memory of having such a fun time with my friend of this game and I always wanted another chance to play. But that doesn't seem to be a good idea now lol
“We are back”

Except arcades were fun.
Char Aznable the 80s definitely isn’t my favorite, but I love arcades. Wish there were more of them. I don’t want to pay to play in my own home on the $400 machine I own though. A one time fee to gain access to the game and a choice to sub or play free to play would have been more than doable
They still are pay to play
Nope, it's pay to play for pay to play
Half of those players were Jim Sterling trying to find a match.

Could be summed up as: Xavient had a goose that laid golden eggs, killed and cooked that goose thinking they could get a better goose, realized how badly they fucked up, got a new goose and spray-painted it gold claiming it was as good as the old one but are now demanding money on a regular basis to pay for the paint to keep the dumb thing looking gold, surprised Pikachu face when no one is buying the ruse

CEO next day: you've asked us...
Lmao
Metalgear survive: we're going to charge per save!
The Culling: How quaint... hold my beer.
Can't wait to see people defend the Culling 2. "But it was made by the same people as Culling 1" "What you don't have $6 to play a free game?"
@@tylercafe1260 oh there will be
*hold my token
I'm soooo expecting to get a hold my beer comment here. Here I go.
Oh great. Another very original "Hold My Beer" comment.
It’s like those if fortnite was made by EA parodies where players need to pay to shoot, run, etc
YOU JUST EARNED YOURSELF A NEW SUB. Nice 2 listen to someone who knows what's go in on😁
Xaviant is making EA look like saints, and I never thought that could've happened.
You have to be absolutely greedy to top EA or Bethesda
@@cosmicwraithgamer7471 To do that you'd have to be greedier than WARIO!
EA actually did this in FIFA Ultimate Team with their Draft mode.
Crazy how badly they blew it, they were one of the first Battle Royals when that genre wasn't even really a genre yet to begin with. They coulda been a powerhouse if they just treated their first game right.
They know it, too. Might be why the director looks like he's sneering when he speaks.
Crazy right? Never played it myself but I heard the first game was quite liked and somewhat popular. Wonder what "decisions" the devs made that made the players leave
It would have failed anyways the first game was literally unplayable
@@ra6765 the first culling was a lesson to the industry on why you SHOULDN'T ALWAYS listen to the players
Literally any changes the players wanted it was put in the game with enough support regardless of place in the community or actual skill
Let's say some random new player goes on the forums to complain about being killed by a mediocre weapon at best and gets 4 likes
The devs would need that shit to oblivion only to make it overpowered when a youtuber complains it's too weak
It’s the real life version of getting a bad route ending
you know somebody should edit that video of the culling is back and make it so josh van veld is making homer simpson freak out noises. make more sense then the real video
“One free online match each day.”
I left the shooter scene a long time ago for fear of seeing taglines like this.
The new 2020 trend in games: “Pay-to-Pay-to-Play”
In 2021: pay to stay
In 2022: PAY!
What games are pay to play in 2020 I don’t have that many games this year sadly due to the virus.
People say snowrunner is a ptw game with no real evidence as everything is in game is unlockable on the map for free
Free to play to pay
tommy springfield those ones I don’t play except warframe and warfare to check them out free games lol
shadowspider9 ah ok 👌 totally agree there to this day I tell people cod is the reason why dlc and season pass so expensive, I remember halo 2/3 dlc 4.99$ for packs....shit I’m old lmao
They can't be this delusional.
Ho but they are
Welp, joke’s on us
They are just ahead of our time
Greed Surpasses all
It's a shame, because arcade-style monetization in exchange for a very low price of entry is a genuine way through which gamemakers could finance their games. In order for you to pay as much as you would playing this game instead of PUBG ($30 as of right now), it would take 4 months of monthly subscriptions or about 100 game tokens, plus the daily free game tokens. If you decide to stop playing before then, you've saved yourself some money, and if you decide to keep playing, you've decided that your enjoyment from each session of play is worth the payment.
Now, of course, this game doesn't deserve the price point it sets itself at due to the fact that it's simply a mediocre offering in a saturated market, but the reason I call this a shame is because people may now conflate a monetization scheme that has the potential to be fairly implemented with the low-effort cash grabbing mentality that prevails in the industry, as it is seen here.
Thank you for listing sources
“Hmmm press X to doubt!” Lol 😂
How about a system “Pay me to Play” this garbage greedy copy ass game. Pay us 6$ and we will play your game for a month.
Even if you dubbeld the pay I wouldn't take that job.
I wouldn't play a battle royal if they payed me 6$a week, I'd rather just go to work.
I'ma go back to laughing like Heavy blowing up monsters in Monster Hunter World and impacently waiting for Kerbal Space Program 2
That actually happened in MMOs when they came onto the scene and still go that way today. You could pay a guy to level up your toon to max level and get you the best gear.
$6 for a month? Your time is that cheap?
Quiet Wanderer impatient*
As Jim Sterling said, this is a “Fee to Pay” game.
Fee to pay to pay to play
Liiiiiiiive service
@@NormanReaddis and what they DID to Zhang He!
@@NormanReaddis "Trippul Ayy"
I don't even LIKE Jim and I'm on his side with this one, this is CRAP!!!
You can pay to play but you have to pay first, to play. reminds me of the movie Airplane: " Theres only a 30% chance of survival, but theres only a 10% chance of that."
EA: WRITE THAT DOWN ! WRITE THAT DOOOWN!
Xaviant: “Do you guys not have money?”
Xaviant just pulled the biggest "hold my beer" in gaming history
and as some people mentioned, they will charge you for it
Hold the entire fucking brewery
Hold the concept of beer dammit
Years later I saw this video on the right side of the screen and I can confirm that I have seen and heard nothing of this game since this video. I still don't know what the hell they were thinking.
