Again no, this is just corporate rhetoric.

It isn't a good game of devs intentionally make it an unrewarding progression system designed to suck as much cash out of your wallet as humanly possible after you already paid 60 bucks with tax and maybe alot more of you decided to splurge on the season pass

How loudly did you sing when EA announced Pay2Win lootboxes in Battefront 2 or when you found out Bungie turned shaders into one time consumables you have to get in lootboxes?

marc55 posted...
nope because is just people who want to play it so bad theyll do anything to not be left behind

Again, if you have to PAY to get to the enjoyable parts faster in a game you already paid 60 with tax for then It's not a very good game and devs don't value all the time they put in if they want you to just pay to skip it all by paying extra

My entire point is that neither DLC or microtransaction is a catch all term that explains completely different business models.

You don't have a point when everyone but you think think of DLC and microtransactions as separate business models that technically do overlap only when put into their most literal of base meanings that you're only doing to reach.

Darmik posted...
Monster Hunter World has microtransactions and it has DLC. It's not one or the other. Generally you can't even have microtransactions without DLC. It's really not complicated.

No it does not, holy shit. Again for them to overlap you have to break them down to the most literal of meanings which literally nobody but YOU is doing for the sake of playing devil's advocate for corporations

Darmik posted...

How microtransactions are done can differ greatly between games. It's not really an umbrella term that tells you exactly what the game has.

Not at all, you only say this because reality throws a wrench in your shit argument

Darmik posted...
That's not a prerequisite at all. Microtransactions started out primarily as weapon skins and cosmetics and then consumable/currency stuff came onto the scene to make more money.

Stop calling all DLC microtransactions, literally nobody but you thinks this and you keep showing your delusion by parroting it as gospel after I've buried as bullshit
over a dozen times already

Darmik posted...

Those are microtransactions and they grew in popularity with the rise of mobile "gaming" they are completely different from DLC

Darmik posted...
DLC is downloadable content. It doesn't even need to be purchased. It's just more content that's downloaded to the game.

Yes again, if you use the LITERAL definition of the term. You do download content in the form of microtransactions, but it's not DLC like we normal people know it as nor is it the exact same thing that you're trying to reach as

Darmik posted...
It's not even really a DLC purchase in that sense.

This has to be one of the most delusional and flat out stupid things I've ever read.

Only Darmik would consider downloading content to not be DLC.

Buying a weapon skin or a gesture for a couple of bucks is a microtransaction though.

It is a literal micro transaction, yes

But it's not a microtransaction, microtransactions have consumability attached to them, DLC for the most part doesn't you buy it once and that's it

And that's what's featured in MHW, you buy the emotes once and move on, you don't keep endlessly buying the same emote over and over

Feel free to find the quote where I said microtransactions and DLC mean the exact same thing. The topics are still up.

Or will you welch again?

Your entire argument is that DLC if small enough is a microtransaction, which is again total BS you haphazardly threw together to keep reaching for by posting that screenshot over and over as if it means anything

Because as I've already explained price literally means nothing to be called microtransactions when you can continuously make hundred dollar purchases with a single click, you cannot do that with DLC

prettyprincess posted...
if you dl it then it is dlc

if you can repurchase and it has consumability then it is microtransaction, whether that be currency, lootbox, or temporary boost

Exactly.

Darmik is saying because they purchased are small that makes them microtransactions, I'm saying no, microtransactions have no set base price range as the name implies and what MHW has is cosmetic DLC

If these can still be considered as "micro"transactions then Darmik's argument has no leg to stand on

You're conveniently ignoring how you can't grind to unlock any of the things you call "microtransactions" and HAVE to spend real money on them.

Because one of the things corporate mouthpieces like yourself always justify them with is they're optional and can earn everything in game by grinding?

Answer the question I asked in the other topic, did you call horse armor a microtransaction back when it first dropped? Because that's the logic (although calling it logic is a joke) you're arguing with

though? publishers push AAA games with AAAAAAA graphics because that's what sells.

So then why are you whining about budgets if they're making publishers money BEFORE microtransactions were a thing in full priced games?

You remind me of those corporate mouthpieces from EC saying Ubisoft needs 900 people to make an Assassins Creed game as an example of why games need lootboxes and DLC to keep the industry afloat all while ignoring how it was Ubisoft's CEO who famously crowed to their investors about how big budget open world games with high fidelity graphics net them the most profit

Also there's more to success than just graphical fidelity, do I really need to point out how many indie games use less than stellar graphics and outsell triple A blockbusters like no tomorrow? Games like Minecraft, PUBG, Stardew Valley, the list goes on and on

They literally announced the game will have microtransactions, literally every single game that has microtransactions has a premium currency or more in game currency you can buy again in what world will a published by MICROSOFT the publisher who spearheaded the charge towards microtransactions in full priced games this gen not have a currency you can drain your entire life savings on without a second thought?

How would a premium currency even work in this game? As far as I know you steal gold from other players and treasure chests.

You do understand that their custom play money your drop real money on is the way publishers skirt gambling laws, right?

You can buy microtransactions over and over like MS wants but you can only but 1 piece of DLC per account you have. That's the main difference

Now you can call a cheap piece of DLC a micro transaction but you cannot call DLC and microtransactions the same thing

Monster Hunter World has microtransactions weirdo

Was horse armor a microtransaction? No it was DLC until it conventiely needed to be microtransactions to fit your shit argument built entirely from desperate mental gymnastics for the sake of being a loyal corporate thrall

You're not even being consistent

Says the guy trying to say microtransactions and DLC are the same thing

4 dollars just to do a Shoryuken or Hadouken gesture? I'm sorry but you can just fuck right off with that.

Better than microtransactions or lootboxes at least

New Orleans is one of the most dangerous places on the planet.

Yeah, you're definitely from BR. Normal folks don't say such ignorant and blatantly wrong things

Your voter base has proven consistently, for decades, to be incapable of electing anybody who doesnt wind up in federal prison.

You're from Baton fucking Rouge, you have dick for room when it comes to talking about shit politicians

Keep electing feel-good democrats and see where you are.


Personally that's irrelevant to me as I don't vote for anything local even in the state as a whole not just NOLA, because it doesn't matter what party they're apart of, all politicians are crooked here in Louisiana

You should thank those transplants because your town would be on par with Detroit without them holding your economy up.

Nah, I'm going to continue hate them for their constant displacement of locals who were majority poor minorities and pissing all over our culture and way of life as well as ensless attempts at sterilizing the city because they aren't from here and means it be as bland and boring as where they came from

I'm sure the endless empty condos where public and affordable housing used to be that only stay filled during Mardi Gras are doing WONDERS for our economy, keeping rent prices high as affordable housing is continually destroyed to make room for condos or gargatuan mansions and work is harder and harder to find due to more and more transplants flooding the city and many don't even hire locals due to their nepotistic nature and hardon for importing labor i.e. bringing in MORE transplants

I just love how you're trotting out every single butthurt driven thing BR locals say about NOLA to try and make themselves feel better about how irrelevant BR is when compared to NOLA

And no I don't consider buying $60 worth of in-game currency a microtransaction.

Yet, They're still considered "micro" transactions no matter how much you can drop at once on virtual play money by everyone else but YOU

But because YOU conventiely want to try to change what it means to be a microtransaction for the sake of shilling for a huge corporation, we're all supposed to agree? Lol no.

Seriously answer my question, what do you get for endless desperate attempts at reaching to defend the shit business practices made purely for the sake of suits at the top?

So different!

The difference is Capcom isn't acting as a mouthpieces for a publisher to defend their shit greed driven business practices
