Once again Take-Two Interactive requested to remove some GTA modifications from LibertyCity. The publisher claimed these mods with DMCA strikes.
Take-Two Interactive states their edict on microtransactions has been to over-deliver on content, and the monetization will follow.
Can you please focus on delivering enough quality content to justify the $70 asking price? While I appreciate the idea of over-delivering, it's essential to ensure that the base content itself is worth it. I have concerns that GTA6 might have less single-player content because most of the focus seems to be shifting towards online play and microtransactions.
It's understandable why publishers are capitalizing on microtransactions when they generate billions with relatively little effort compared to traditional content creation. We, as consumers, are partly responsible for this trend. I've seen people spend on FIFA cards as if it's a normal part of the game. Previously, features like player cards and big head mode were earned through gameplay or cheat codes, but now gamers are willing to pay for them, so publishers have no reason not to monetize these features.
It's astonishing that the gaming industry is now more profitable than any other entertainment sector. Yet, despite record-high profits, the industry continues to see increasing levels of greed. It's baffling to hear about record profits followed by significant layoffs of developers. This disconnect makes no sense.
I know it’s unlikely given the size of the industry, but it might take a significant downturn for things to reset. Currently, there are too many decision-makers who lack a genuine understanding of gaming, focusing only on financial spreadsheets. A prime example is Andrew Wilson, the CEO of EA.
It must be a nightmare working at Rockstar in a Production role...dealing with the team egos and those of the V suite. #soulcrush
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).
Are they annoyed that fans seem to be able to do things better then them
If your company spent millions developing an IP you'd prob be protective of it too.
People get punish for making the games better. A better game means less MTs.
Ok time to torrent GTA Trilogy out of spite not playing that turd but will take and seed. I would tell em to fuck off, then move your work and if you have a website on the dark web and post download links to your work there. This would be the logical thing to do. Go around them, this will be the only way. If all fan remakes were in this way we would all be having them finish to completion. Ain't no one going to bother you on the dark web with this, when there are much worse things up there, and never taken down. Now I'm going to post the torrent site and their game on that site right to Take-Two's email address and say to them what can you do now? Nothing that's what, you lose I always win 🤣 Keep messing with modders, casue in the end you won't get a dime from me.
I wish more people would torrent these things and stop supporting the companies.
