All they see is numbers. Destiny 2 makes HOW MUCH money? Let's do that

I think Fortnite poisoned the market because of its live service success. Instead of making most of the money at launch they can now bleed whales dry by introducing a battle pass + skins + DLC.

I don't want to waste my time either, so I'm not gonna play it.

It seems like the kind of game you watch 20 minute YouTube video about and you know everything you need to know about it

My exact intentions

Just like pretty much every other live service game.

I haven't even watched 20 minutes about it and already know about as much as I want to know about it.

Just waste your money, an endless amount of it.

I mean, what else are they gonna say? “We’re totally gonna waste your time AND milk you for as much of your money as possible!”

Translation: they're SO gonna waste your time.

They just want your money, not your time.

Nobody is going to buy this I don't get why they're pushing it

BruceTwarzen@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Are they now banking on a handful mega whales?

Gabadabs@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

I'm getting the vibe that it's been developed with full knowledge that it's going to be a commercial flop, and they're just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they're just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

We want this game to be generous, both with your time and…

I believe the devs, unfortunately publishers call the shots

Yeah the part where they kill Batman was leaked online months a go and that's the only part of the game people are curious about.

Sho@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Don't worry devs, by not buying the game I know you won't waste my time. If I need a batman fix I'll visit Arkham city.
