The money from microtransactions, battlepasses, loot boxes, premium currency, and FOMO.

In this special edition, players can get access to extra items, such as horse armour and exclusive weapons.

Didn’t say it included it, that players can access it, which they could access it by buying via microtransaction.

Notwithstanding but i have no trust with Bethesda at this point.

What’s the over-under for trying to make an official modding store?

They’re so good for gamers that they’re preventing reviewers from reviewing the 5060 8 GB models.

Be disabled, be elderly, be a guy working multiple jobs and still not make enough to be above the poverty line.

I mean Republican assholes is a much better and more accurate adjective.

‘premium’ and not ‘full price’ can mean anything between .01 USD and 79.98 USD at this point when you’ve got a major console and publisher reporting bullshit 80 dollar price points.

You give these corporate jackasses a inch and they’ll bend you over and I for one don’t trust any of these AAA publishers.

My guess is they’re looking at Nintendo here and seeing if they push 50 - 55 USD a ‘premium’, executive bullshit buzzword on par work AAAA gaming, over what is considered normal, 40 USD, now for a live service game.

8 GB is a joke and a insult at this point.

GoG Instant claim

I mean it’s a fundamental design issue with how they link all of the 12V lines into a single line on the board itself. Unless Nvidia changes that as part of the reference drawings, you’re not going to be able to mitigate this.

Does it at least tell me I’m pretty for the “premium” price?

Probably only available for the digital deluxe ultimate limited edition.

Which will also be available a month later as a twenty dollar microtransaction.

And it’ll have all the microtransaction features executives have come to expect. Overpriced battlepass, loot boxes, overpriced fomo cosmetic store.

Who is the target audience for this game??

Corporate executives chasing the live service dragon looking for their next hit.

Sorry but WTF fever dream article is this? Is the author going onto back alleys picking up third hand stock from eBay or Temu with brands like ASS Rock? Dude, you might have mixed up pcpartpicker.com for your meth dealer.

Okay.

I think OP here has a point though.

The PS 5 pro has been said be roughly equivalent to a 7700 XT with a AMD ryzen 7 3700X and going through PC part picker, using the cheapest parts it’s 936 dollars which is more than the PS5 pro 699 price.

Also, that console buyer isn’t the user that’s going to build a computer themselves either so they’d have to buy a pre built, which would be over 1K. Plus the console person only wants to game and isn’t going to be all that interested in the additional features, there’s is a slightly different use case for consoles.

I honestly can see some of this guys point here and I do think the gap between PC gaming and consoles narrowing down since the past few console generations consoles aren’t pushing graphics over the latest PCs and console exclusive coming to PCs.

With the steam deck, I think that gap has narrowed more now since it provides a easy and accessible price point to PC game on your TV, which may eat into the console market share.

I’ve done it a handful of times myself. Like after three years of playing DRG, I bought a cosmetic pack at a discount.

I don’t mind supporting a developer if they continue to support their game long term and are reasonable.

Yup but at the same time this only happens because gamers allow it to.

Just sadness all around for this series.
