As we all know, you don't have to pay to play online on pc, the developers pay for the servers with the money the get from microtransactions, ads or subscriptions in some cases.
my question is how did sony, microsoft and nintendo pay for their servers before they started charging for online?
was it profitable?
how was it profitable?

PS3 and Vita had online passes that you have to redeem and could only use it for one account.
>>
>>385658085
but were they a one time payment?
and before PS3?
>>
online multiplayer isn't that expensive and many pc games with official servers dont have microtransactions, ads or subscriptions.
Sony just figured out that selling a console for 700$ was a bad idea so they start selling their console with very little profit and make their money with the subscription.
Nintendo just under supply everything so everybody pay at least 40$ for their games.

Give me one reason I should even consider trying this game when the fanbase is absolute trash.

because letting a fanbase of something stop you from enjoying it is silly

Donkey Kong Country is truly perfect. If you do not get this amazing new generation of Donkey Kong Country madness, you are stupid. Yes, I know it's insulting, but that's also the truth.

Donkey Kong Country was always a mediocre game and a mediocre series that got by on visual presentation and its soundtrack.

Not even joking, have Star Citizen backers become an actual, honest-to-God cult?
>"The fastest way for CIG to get 3.0 out in the quality we all desire is for them to continue to set these very aggressive goals, and then adjust as they don't hit them. 3.0 would take longer to deliver if they set more conservative goals. The only reason for setting conservative estimates is to placate the community. I would argue strongly against that. They are giving regular updates to their progress and showing what they think is best case. This is desirable to them obfuscating and trying to 'under sell/over deliver' the community with padded dates."
From the leddit page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/6qhfap/if_you_think_cig_should_plan_more_realistically
This is fucking insane.

this guy sounds like a fucking retard. so basically any goals a business sets itself are completely fucking pointless? are cash flow forecasts like unicorns now?
these people are absolutely fucking deluded. consistently NOT hitting deadlines is a sign of a deeply troubled production. and not only that, it shows signs that whoever is leading the development is a complete fucking trainwreck.

Never played a Dragon Quest before. Want to start with 8. Does this game actually has a good complex story or is it just the usual jrpg story?

if you're playing a DQ game for a "complex" story then just play something else. The point of these games is that they don't change. They look prettier but still hold on to traditions very closely.
DQ8 is loved because out of all the DQ games this one's actually the only one that actually feels like a modern game.
>>
Dragon Quest 8 is great, but the story isn't too complex no. JRPGs don't really have both complex and decent stories, its more of a pick 1 or none situation.
>>
>>385656162
If the story of DQ8 is as complex as say FFVII then its enough for me but if its as simple as say Zelda then maybe I won't have much fun.
