If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

Witcher 3, the Last of Us (ps3), Baldurs Gate 3, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Elden Ring, Read Dead Redemption 2 (offline), Zelda, etc...

There are plenty of triple A games that were well received that didn't involve gambling and mtx.

Ones that weren't well received like Cyberpunk 2077 did well too.

[-] Sina@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Because they largely fixed it..

I don’t care how they were received. Give me a total revenue comparison.

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You simply listed exceptions, thus proving the rule stated by @whatisallthis

[-] UlrikHD@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

How many exceptions do you need before it no longer being an exception, 50%?

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But you listed less than 1 percent?

[-] UlrikHD@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Sorry for not combing through every major release since tetris and making a perfectly objective list of every good game of which most them I've never even seen gameplay of.

Why so salty bro? Maybe go outside, meet some people. That usually helps me when I´m grumpy ...

[-] UlrikHD@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Salty? I listed a bunch of games that are clearly made by passionate developers and have been part of defining of defining the space in recent history. You are the one leaving a snarky comment that I listed less than 1 percent of games as if that proves anything.

We probably just did not understand each other well. Can we just agree to disagree and move on? I respect you and your opinion, have a nice day!
