Crowd funding is the biggest rip off in gaming just look at Star Citizen. Its funny to me how micrsotransaction draws the biggest manufactured outrage but paying $30 for a buggy unfinished preview build of a game and no one bats an eye.

So if people support big, microtransaction-happy companies like EA or WB, it's bad... but if they instead support smaller indie developers... that's also bad?

OffRoadKing2381d ago

Bad practices are bad practices regardless of the size of a company, do Indie developers get a pass just because they're smaller than EA or WB?

Darkwatchman2381d ago

Just because a lot of developers use crowd funding for shady things, that does not discredit every single crowd funded project ever. Skullgirls by the same dev was crowdfunded and it is most definitely an in depth and complete product.

OffRoadKing2381d ago

Listen man if people are cool paying to play unfinished buggy games, in affect acting as beta testers who have to pay the developer to test their game for them then by all mean s feel free I guess, but I see that as shady and it points out the hypocrisy of the gaming community when that's deemed acceptable but the OPTION to pay for some cosmetic stuff in a game makes people loose their shit.

Well, I wish them luck in their project. I hope everything fares well for them.

Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.

This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.

This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.

These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.

Pilestedt writes: "Hey everyone,

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)

But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"
