The nuka rum is ridiculously overpriced crap, yeah, but probably not really false advertising.
People are just trying to copy the canvas bag drama. It's not quite the same thing tho.
Overpriced, delivered late, unfulfilled orders, and the bottle is not glass but cheap plastic. Sorry but the main point is the plastic buyers expected to get a bottle like the games.Can you please just summarize what exactly is falsely advertised? I do not want to watch another video about cheap rum.
I hope it's not the part where they say it raises strength and endurance by one point…
No, but I remember about a decade old lootboxes scandal in Perfect World's Star Trek Online and raging fans (I was one of those).Anyone remembers 2017 Star Wars fan outrage?
Actually its Zenimax the parent company of Bethesda.In Bethesda's case, it's actually kind of comical/hypocritical as recently they were touting themselves as saviors of SP video games:
Following the ‘disappointing’ releases of Dishonored 2 and Prey, Zenimax decided that they didn’t do well because no one buys single player games, a sentiment that one source stated was “dead ass wrong.” This mindset has led to a hard pivot by Zenimax to focus more on multiplayer and live service experiences, with only a few single player games in the pipeline.
Prey is mediocre rubbish, noone lives long enough to have time for (spending $ on) mediocrity.Following the ‘disappointing’ releases of Dishonored 2 and Prey, Zenimax decided that they didn’t do well because no one buys single player games
The expansion was a disaster & well criticized, but I have no idea why Dishonored 2 under-performed. It was a decent game I replayed many times. Never played Prey.Prey is mediocre rubbish, noone lives long enough to have time for (spending $ on) mediocrity.
I have no idea why Dishonored 2 didn't sell well, not only it's another proof videogames can be art, gaming mechanics in it are absolutely awsome just as were in the prequel.
This, like with Star Citizen, is plain despicable practice that exploits "fanboyism"/younger audience. I mean if you saw an adult on a street trying to sell a kid a Kinder egg for 50$, would you say: "It's on you, if you fall for it."Laws exist exactly to prevent this kind of shit, reason why lootboxes were banned in some countries. It's pathetic some are actually saying: well don't buy it, if you don't like it or doing mental acrobatics to justify it.
You've missed nothing. Even the grinding garbageware with MIDI soundtrack, DQ11, is more fun. Honestly, I have no idea what happened with Arkane while making that game. It doesn't feel as Arkane game but as an amateurish job outsourced to them and they slapped it up in about a year.Never played Prey.
Indeed. You also have to be very ignorant to not realize how publishers have a tendency to slowly introduce this into their games, until it eventually becomes tied to progression systems so it affects everyone, or even pay to win/PvP. Or as Chris Roberts likes to say: " You win by having fun!" ( and having a big wallet lets you have so much more "fun"!)
Anyone remembers 2017 Star Wars fan outrage? It is primary reason why EA is now extremely careful with microtransactions in Anthem.

Your ignorant paranoia isn't uncommon. What's amusing is that you're pretending this case is particularly bad.
I don't really mind the fantasy that optional cosmetics that you can get for in-game currency ruin games that you don't even play.
What kind of statement is that?Publishers are greedy - not necessarily stupid.
and the trend is ruining games for everyone as it's not Fortnite "exclusive" but appearing in past, present and future products.
What kind of statement is that?
Everyone is greedy. Publishers, stupid or not, only abuse the lack of laws that would regulate scamware in videogames.
Seems he didn't watch Jim Sterling's Below Expectations video.What kind of statement is that?

We've all heard the story. "AAA" game comes out, "AAA" game is a critical and commercial success, "AAA" game disappoints its publisher for failing to meet expectations. When you pull back and see just how often this dance is performed, it paints the picture of a panicked and desperate industry, a rotten swan kicking its decaying legs frantically across a poisoned swamp. Because that's what it is. The industry is a rotten swan.
And no country taxes the pretend money so every bloody game has to force that bullshit on my head?you get ingame currency, you buy stuff
FO76 is not a common crowdfunded project.That story does not compare to a common crowdfunded project. Unless the crowdfunded scene is regulated…
Triple aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!Seems he didn't watch Jim Sterling's Below Expectations video.
