The very first thing you did on coming into this thread was imply that anyone defending NRS's business practices is a blind fanboy. When I responded to you with three counter-arguments, your response didn't address any of them and simply dismissed me as a fanboy.
I'm not going to pretend like you don't make some good points, and belive me: I'm probably the guy that wanted Shang main roster the most in this forum, or close. And I'm not a fan of Shao Khan being pre-order bonus when he's clearly part of the story.
Did you just call me toxic? Come on man, I thought we were pals.
There's no need to be this aggressive. He's right on the fact that we could have been more chill with our replies.
And many of your posts show you to be an ignorant dickhead who is VERY quick to have a go at others with different opinions. Wheras I’ll criticise a company or a general body of clueless people, but not individuals until I’m directly bitched at.
I think you may be overly generous towards NRS, but the truth is we won’t ever know exactly who is responsible for this level of, in my mind, rampant profiteering. When Battlefield V and Battlefront II released with their various “issues”, people were very fast to go “Evil EA! Another game destroyed!” However, it soon became apparent just how complicit / encouraging DICE were in the decisions that caused these games to fail.
If it's that big of a deal to you x cancel your mk11 preorder. Why support a practice you despise?
And I think you are being quite biased against game companies, which honestly I can understand. EA does have a couple of my favorite franchises after all.
Lol, it was more like a joke, and no I didn't mean YOU with toxic, how could I ;-)
MK11 so far seems that way.
MK11 doesn't have that stuff yet though. I want to think they learned from their mistakes and those of other companies, and won't be pushing too hard.
My counter points are
The reveal of paid DLC before the full roster, plus the choice of DLC compared to the base roster is a very clear signal to me. At this point you and I will simply have to agree to disagree.
NRS announced 4 paid DLC characters for MKX before the base roster reveal. And highly requested Tremor and Tanya ended up DLC, while Jacqui and Ferra/Torr were added to the main roster (no offence to their fans).
You're an idiot. How about you spent years creating something of value, and I'll demand that you sell it for only $1.
That way of talking will only make people want to disagree with you. He's been nothing but polite with anyone who didn't act rude towards him first, why do you have to call him an idiot?
Because he is an idiot and frankly there's no hope of a rational discussion with him on this. Hundreds of people, who have their own lives and families and wants and needs, spent years putting this product together, and he cries because they are announcing DLC before we know what's in the base game? DLC which is also being sold right now, and until this announcement, no one had any idea AT ALL what was included beyond the base game.
My discussion with him wasn't that bad. We didn't reach to an agreement, but you can't win them all.
You mean the publisher that is absorbing 100% of the financial risk, by paying for the development of MK11 up front for years? Everyone that actually worked on MK11 already has their paycheck, so if the game bombs, they still have the money from all the time they spent working on it. Its the publishers money that paid their payrolls.
Never gets old.
