Hee! That’s great! And so true, unfortunately. 😦
That does sum it up so well.
Add the price of the game from 1999 to now:
1999 $39.99
2005 $49.99
Now $59.99
I love the 2005 expansion price. Only $40 for more of the same! 😛
So true 😦 If we continue the trend then in a few years we can expect games to be nothing but packages of DLC you purchase in chunks cafeteria-style.
Hot MMO of 2015 releases. “Oh, I’ll take the PvP system for $20, the quest system for $20, the dungeon system for $25, hmm, I think I’ll pass on the crafting system. Extra classes? Nah. Oh wait . . . I really want to play that one, well fine, $15 for the Ubermencschen class.”
Whee.
😦
Actually, I could quite get behind the “modular MMO” concept. Why don’t you care bears PvP? Because we’re cheap, that’s why!
Absolutely love it! Thanks for putting a brilliant image to what I blogged on 3/6:
I want to play a complete game…not a mostly-complete game with bits nibbled off it and then marketed heavily from the get-go as extras…It’s all or none. Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t sell the Mona Lisa’s nose separately for an extra 50 lira.
I wept a little on the inside. Sad but true.
Also making this poignant for me is that I have been searching the last couple of days for a way to acquire the two DLC pieces I want for Mass Effect 2 and did not get as part of the edition that I bought. Was hoping I could get them with my Amazon gift card balance somehow, but they don’t seem to be available through Amazon.
This is just sad, heart breaking and only too true 😦
