Ubisoft And The Division Of Content (The Jimquisition)

OMG a fuckable cake! :D

Still over priced compared to the better stream sales, and if you buy a thing direct from stream its easy enough to return it, Origin its even easier to return things but they don't have sales they have tiny discounts... GA2 is the way to go I suppose.

Nope, like with the Mass effect games if they do that I will just pirate it. Only way I pay a premium on game prices(the 60$ price tag) is when there is alot of added value like the creation kit with Fallout,TES,ect.

There's actually a real term for what Ubisoft is doing with special editions: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusopoly" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusopoly</a>

Hey now, I still go game stores all the time. Beats the shit out of buying games digitally since you can't get refunds on digital goods(at least not on PSN or XBL, and Steam has that bullshit time limit) and can't trade in digital games for store credit and games install way faster on disc anyways. Ubisoft's multiple special editions are getting ridiculous at this point, though I am still looking forward to Division 2, as I really enjoyed the story in the first game, thankfully I have zero interest in the multiplayer portion of the game, so the early access stuff won't affect me, but it still shouldn't be there and I feel sorry for those who will be at a disadvantage because of this.

I never understood the appeal for those overpriced collectors editions myself. Unlike Jim I don't give a shit about plastic/metal tat that's just going to end up gathering dust somewhere in my room. If I think a game is good enough, i'll buy the season pass or stand alone story DLC, but that's as far as I go. The standard edition of a game is more then enough for me.

Whenever I hear of a game that has 3+ special editions and stuff... I can't help but wonder. Who buys those? And why? If there's 6 types of special editions for a game, that means people buy those. I'd think one or two might be added just to make the price point of one of the versions look better (which is a successful tactic), but that doesn't call for SIX versions. Which leads me to assume that people are actually interested and actually buy. And I'm honestly baffled as to why. Who has the money? Who has the need? Granted, I'm not the target audience for many of those games, but I would think the extra money would be better spent elsewhere. Either on a few cheap indie titles, or even the money could go towards a different "triple ayyyyy" game. So there must be a significant number of players with enough disposable income that they don't particularly care and don't mind spending money on an expensive special-special-plus-edition. What demographic are those people? What age group? Where do they come from?
