The Jimquisition: The Witcher 3 x Splatoon - Real Games-As-A-Service
Added 2015-07-06 13:43:08 +0000 UTCIf you've followed this industry's buzzword-infused gibberish for a while, you'll like have heard of the term, "Games-as-a-service." It's about turning games from one-time purchases into ongoing experiences, usually with an injection of microtransactions or DLC.
It's also totally dishonest, justifying all manner of shoddy business practices, broken launches, and con jobs.
Recently, two games came out that represent the ideal of the "service" a lot more than any product to have actively claimed the term. Let's examine what they do, and why they humiliate the industry! Oh my Gods!

2015-07-07 10:17:04 +0000 UTCDid - did he imply that the existence of a dildo is somehow offensive to women? Does he understand what a dildo is used for? What - how - I don't even . . .

But I agree with what you're saying, the companies that complain they need the DLC because they don't get the staying power are the ones that have shitty practices and so turn the gamers off to their game, that's the irony of it.

2015-07-06 18:27:03 +0000 UTC...Does he really think seeing a large dildo is offending to women? Is he, perhaps, 12?
