And imagine what great buck-backing you'll reach if you instead get a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle with the death star on it.

I like the math on their "value per time" calculation - that a player will play the game 2.5 hours per day every day for a year, that's 912 hours. (They also estimate that a player will spend 20 bucks on lootcrates every single month!)

tbf there are whales out there that will blow those numbers out of the water and skew the average, though I doubt by that much. Also, if I were a kid today I'd probably be sucking up all my hours on these crazy F2P skinner box games, considering how much time I "wasted" on mere single-player RPGs

this guy is making a bizarre comparison that reminds me of being a kid and being unable to catch a movie so I got a children's book adaptation instead... which wouldn't really happen in this age

there is something to the whole $/entertainment-hour equation but he's out of his mind nonetheless

ladies and gentlemen, 2017

That is actually pretty honourable of them. Freemium is a scourge. Sadly I don't think the new model will work, because the micro-transactional nature of freemium means you can fool your brain into thinking you're not spending much, whereas £30 for a clicker game seems like a ridiculous outlay.

Heroes. Sad that Nintendo is planning to go the other way: https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/31/super-mario-run-200-million-downloads-not-acceptable-profits/

I agree that $30 seems way too high for that kind of game - it'll need some mindblowing reviews to sell it. That said - are they the first F2P developers to actually admit the terrible psychological cost of it, let alone take action?

^ ghostbusters theme playing in the background near the end of that video is icing on the cake

also great is watching the dad idly check out the flap on the front of the console.

A call placed to the number that Musk tweeted on Tuesday went to voicemail and played a message from the video game God of War. “By the Gods you’ve done it,” the message intones. “Somehow you’ve found your way here to me. I offer you my congratulations and my respect.”

i thought i never wanted to play that misbegotten mess of a game ever again

reader, i was wrong

Is that a game or day in the life of mike pence?

if i ever get some disposable income again, it's gonna be a tough choice between a switch and some sort of VR system. on one hand, new instant classic games like zelda. on the other, i can twist my fingers around in people's ears

VR wet willy zelda would be the ideal compromise but i'm not sure the world is ready

i'd back that kickstarter tbh

(xpost)

Aw, misread as a glance as 'VR Jet Set Willy', which would be neat (and probably still impossible).

When you die in VR Jet Set Willy, you die in real life.
