@Total_mischief THat is the problem. The epople that control these companies like EA, Activision, and more are listening to this load of shit. Right now TR has earned about 180mill.
According to the analyst, this is a fuckin failure.
It's why they are seriously considering subscription based model for ALL their games with any kind of multiplayer.
Did I just read this crap?? " But for games with development budgets approaching $100 million to be truly profitable, ratings have to be above 8.5 and sales need to be in the five to ten million unit range."
Seriously, this guy is paid to spout bullshit like this.
Moron, Metacritic Ratings are bullshit. If the game is popular then they will buy it. Its assholes like this that turn decent companies into Electronic Arts, THQ, and Activision.
Personally I love Star Wars The Old Republic current pricing. The Cartel Coins are a great incentive to spend money, there are neough perks to be a paying subscriber to keep me interested, while there is good enough incentive for me to not pay.
With respect if you haven't played the game how would you know? Also I am african-american, and I will tell what really offends me. It's that most game designers/Media in geeneral will move heaven and earth NOT covering thse topics.
Face the fact: Before the 1960's it was hell on earth to be black in in the United States and many places int eh world. Reading that Levine included the clear class, and racial divide is outstanding. When I play it I will see how well it's handled.
@obsequies @Dieofnv They already did that! McDonalds ended up putting nutritional information on their menus and changing how they make their stuff. It's why the Apple Pie is not longer fried in batter. And you know what is going on NY with BLoomberg trying to outlaw soft drinks over 16oz.
