Your agony and disappointment is so palpable that it hurts. You really love mmorpgs. I felt sad when you were talking about out the development of pain to win budget.
I am the trash of my can. Greed is my body and money is my blood. I have created over a thousand games unknown for fun yet monetized to the hilt. I've broken the dreams of numerous developers to release many abominations, yet still the ignorant masses exalt in my every new release. So as hidden in my quarterly earnings report, unlimited shovelware!
It's like Lost Ark, all over again. I no-lifed LA (~8hrs daily) for 3 months without paying a penny, with 3-4 alts funneling mats to my main and I was still not remotely close to the whales (ofc). Stopped playing it, and never gonna touch such a game again.
About your gemstore comment at approximately 34min. Devs don't make gemstore skins. Outside contractors create those. That also explains why they don't really fit the games aesthetics like earnable ingame skins the devs make.
Don’t forget about the new hotness of scamming - early access. Don’t even need to pretend to make the game, you just make promises you know you can’t keep, but it SOUNDS great. See something like pax dei - $80 or so for a gathering/crafting sim. But it’ll be good later! Maybe. Ish
I have no evidence to back this up, but I believe the reason GW2 is doing so well financially despite not being as blatantly P2W, is because the game is good and people are spending money because they want to.
you see...at the moment when i would heard, that you can pay to progress faster, it would be a moment i'd stopped reacting/making video about that game. I would simply close tab, said "fuck you", im not gonna spend my time and channel to freely, indirectly promote you. You wont get any more coverage from me. Be the change you want to see.
Hey, hey. Your Genshin Impact quota is both simultaneously underestimated and overestimated. Youre looking at 300$ to to 100% get the character. Now bear in mind this is not the full version of said character, this is only step 1 of 7. You need 6 more copies of them, so hey schmuck you better get to pulling the lever. So bad luck you’re looking at 2100$ to get a fully upgraded character. Now you want to FULLY max them? Well you’re gonna need the weapon now, start spinning buddy same price per 10. So you’re only looking at about 4000$ to finish a character assuming bad luck. And people wonder why I refuse to spend a dime on Hoyo games.
Look. This game has p2w elements not gonna lie, it's true. BUT you don't have to pay any money and still be competitive in the game. There are Hard Caps that F2P players can reach without even playing more than a few hours everyday. Last thing the game has changed a lot and it's still changing NCsoft contrary to all beliefs have been easing down pay2win. But Force wouldn't know that since he hasn't played the game and uses outdated videos and sources. But don't trust me play it on release, it's free and you'll see it's pretty far away from bad.

4:15 a game from Nc is p2w? /shocker HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!!

God don't remind me. Early Access is quickly becoming synonymous with the words Worthless Unfinished Trash to me.

Your zero-evidence assumption is probably right to some degree. It would explain other games like PoE too
Your colorful brand of cynicism gives me life, sir. Stay healthy and keep it up!

You should watch Force Gamings paid sponsorship take on Starwars Outlaws.
Pretty sad and disappointing.

Gacha games aren't pay to win, because if you're playing a gacha game you've already lost.
Pay to lose gang represent.
then you get Diablo Immoral where 90% of the game is designed around pay to win
holy shit only 90%? I didn't realise Blizzard was trying to improve their standards
@@RozeMMO my numbers were wrong, i forgot about the 8% spent on ads they use to promote the game
