Randy Pitchford must be having a seizure right now

normalfags

Because game studios hire psychologists to figure out the best calibration for their skinner boxes to maximise revenue and instil the idea of 'value' for their skins in a way similar to casinos

>>376016659

This.
There's a ton of ways to make money that doesn't relate to actually buying and playing the game.
They're very likely including Hearthstone and HOTS OW related stuff because it's a brand. Toys and posters and shit as well, you can charge whatever fucking amount you want.

???
Minecraft is one of a kind, since Infiniminer never reached completion afaik and all the clones came after.
Do you think or bother reading at all? I can't seem to find your point.
Either way if you're taking Microsoft's evaluation at face value you're just as retarded as they were when they bought it, Markus is also a colossal retard and pocketed it all for himself when he would have settled for millions most likely.

>>376017063
>markus is a colossal retard
>sold his game franchise for 2b

>>376016535
>it had its biggest active "online player community" in its history during the same period with 41 MAU (monthly active users)

I don't know what MAU is, but it sounds like a load of horse shit

Post real numbers already

>>376017130

They are real numbers you retard. The company is publicly traded and is regularly audited. Lying about anything in their financials will result in huge fines and lawsuits.

>>376016535
roverwatch

>>376017102

>Microsoft asked for it for 2b

If you get anymore than a few million when you will live and die alone, you've got far more money you can reasonably spend before any kind of investment (which should always be considered money just straight up lost anyway).
Considering ONLY Markus pocketed it and he abandoned Mojang for it to never do anything else with his pathetic life, it would have made zero difference if MS actually lowballed it and just went with about 5 million or so to start with.

And now what have MS done with it? They made a separate product on C++ after everyone in the world bought in on Java or even a terrible downgraded port on non-PC to push it as a demo game for Hololens - which is hilariously out of range for the Minecraft demographic.

The only money they can make off MC is selling merch which again a lot of people have also already bought. They're grabbing an IP after it's peak and only milking very latecomers. It's an investment on the same level as Intel's retarded recent acquisitions.

>>376016535
And to think, they were once about to go bankrupt during that whole Vivendi fiasco. Bobby Kotick was absolutely right in seeing how much potential Blizzard had and bought the company from them.
>2017

>>376016535
41 monthly active users? That's not a lot.
Are you sure the M in MAU doesn't stand for million?

>>376018014
Because 41 MAU doesn't make sense.

>>376017307
With that much money, how much does it generate interest on it's own? Just imagine, anything you want.

>>376017307
You are underestimating the value of the franchise. Minecraft as a program has value beyond entertainment. Microsoft could rule the fucking world if they expanded on its use as a teaching tool.

>>376018106
They probably missed the letter M next to the 41, not that they made up a completely new terminology for MAU, unlike a certain anon that claimed to know better but ended up looking like an idiot.

>>376018262
My version certainly made more sense than 41 people playing Blizzard games.

>>376018238
Oh ffs. Minecraft's value lies in its brand recognition. MS doesn't need more money, it needs to attract a new customer base. Why do you think they're throwing money into xbox even though it's hemorrhaging money?

>>376017540
'THESE FUCKING SJW PUTTING WOMEN ON GAMES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" - /pol/

>gg ez
Fuck blizzard

>>376018238

Minecraft itself as a program is a complete turd, and only serves as a rough concept for an actually well made program to draw inspiration from.
Minecraft as a teaching tool is limited in use, since it's largely a time wasting tool like a fidget spinner. You also overestimate the amount of funding schools get in any country, let alone first world ones.

I mean, Microsoft is cannibalising itself since it hates itself more than anything else, but even if they united to license it like their OS and Office products, most institutions would just pirate it anyway since you can't interact with external users or servers for security reasons, might as well save money too.

>>376018383
And your version is completely wrong. I can blame the article writer for missing a single letter. What's your excuse?

>>376018685
By completely being wrong about an actual existing terminology. Yeah, sure. You sure showed me.

>>376016659
Yeah. I'm not the first person to run to the government for regulation and stuff but this is basically the same mechanics as las vegas.
But atleast when you play roulette you know the fucking odds.
It is the same as the boxes in CSGO.
I dont even want to forbid it because I believe people can do what they want with their money but I think they need to be atleast forced to give out the odds for transparency.

>>376018784
Acronyms are not god's absolute laws. Some guy made it up once. And now I created a new one. Mine has just as much legitimacy. It's also logically correct, because 41 million active users makes a lot more sense than 41 monthly active users. Therefore, I am right.

They should. It literally IS gambling.

>>376019350

This, if anything it shows the industry is really healthy and will support the perfect games for each genre.
The problem is the level of effort, the level of talent that requires and the level of funding that demands is a lot for just anyone to pick up, so not a lot of attempts are made.
And it doesn't help these shit games poison the well by marketing so strongly nothing else gets any mention.

You fucking pretentious sperg.

>>376019462
I don't know; the 'problem' is that the box system uses the same psychological system real gambling.
It is like in those FTP games when 10% of the players pay for everything else, in addition the developer/publisher (whoever is responsible for the implementation of the system) is fully aware of that and counts on those whales.

Lose condition is you getting anything at all except the thing you wanted. When you buy a thing, you're supposed to know in advance exactly what you're getting. If it's random or hidden in any way? Gambling.

>>376020012
It would be a very gray line. If you have a chance at winning something with every bet, I can't really say with absolute certainty the law might rule it as such.

>>376020081
>and i saw trump win an election that he couldnt have before GG
Yeah, I bet all those 50 year olds who voted for Trump did it because of a few people shitposting about videogames on social media.
Trump won because fucking no one likes the Clintons, even SJWs had to swallow their pride to support her.

By doing just about everything better than everyone else.

I hold it self-evident than within 10-15 years all of this gacha garbage will be declared gambling, regulated and taxed as gambling, and people will think it's insane it was ever considered anything else. People burning $1000 on Hearthstone cards without getting the card they wanted? "Totes not gambling, after all he got SOME cards! Doesn't matter that the cards he did get are useless trash by design!"

>>376016535
Not really surprised as the prime audience for Overwatch is the twitch kiddie audience. The type of people that watch YouTube ecelebs, donate to kickstarters, and beg mommy for her credit card so Timmy can buy emotes on discord or twitch.

Not the ones with a huge bankaccount, the only one that matter.
I mean look at 'League of Legends'.
You have to BUY the character you want to play in this game (either with ingame currency or real money).
This will hurt the lifespan of the game but will definitly generate more cash.

They simply made a hella good game. I find myself using the battle.net launcher more than Steam these days. Which says a lot since Blizzard has like 6 games or whatever while Steam has literal thousands. Quality over quantity I guess.

WE DID IT /v/! WE MADE ACTIBLIZZ THE BIGGEST VIDEO GAME EXCLUSIVE CORPORATION IN THE WORLD

They recently released probabilities for chink lootboxes. The common theme is a 2% droprate for the rarest thing in the box.
In Hearthstone for example it kinda normalizes and you're more or less guaranteed a legendary every 40 packs. It's not even gambling. If 10 players throw 1000 bucks at lootboxes all will come out with more or less the same rarity distribution.

He tried to point out a mistake on an actual terminology. I know the article made a mistake but that anon didn't even bother checking if MAU is an actual terminology or not and falsely assumed M stands for monthly. Two wrongs does not make a right here. All he had to say was he meant million monthly active users, not try to double down and change the definition to win a stupid little argument.

Notice how the press usually refers to Bastion as "it", but Orisa as "she"?

It's because Bastion has no gender indicators, whereas Orisa has a female voice.

Incidentally, how long do you think it will take for Blizzard to add a trans character? I mean, it's inevitable, right?

They already have.

It might have something to do with Equatorial life not having to deal with as much of a change in seasons, meaning that a brain that can adapt to an environment is not as important as the environment does not change as much.

Irrelevant. If your nation wasn't established by then, you werent going any where in history. Even the weak men of china managed to solidify a unified empire and through out their entire history they have been the punching bag of every one of their nhiebors.

Why are there so many people in this thread with delusions about Africa? We all know how shit it is and that it always was and always will be shit.

>>376021884
Real Answer? Africa never really became a unified kingdom. "War" for them was literally two parties gather and throwing spears at each other from miles away while jumping around and screaming until both got bored and went home. More often than not, the conflicts didn't even have injuries. It wasn't until Shaka Zulu came along and started massacring people Africa became to emerge as a proper empire but by then it was far too late and even if it wasn't- shit fell through by the end of Shaka's life and he had no successor to run things the way he did.

"Orisa serves as the central anchor of her team, and defends her teammates from the frontline with a protective barrier. She can attack from long range, fortify her own defenses, launch graviton charges to slow and move enemies, and deploy a Supercharger to boost the damage output of multiple allies at once."

But why? I still think IQ and seasonality has something to do with it. There's no need to engineer a better house to keep winter out if winter doesn't happen. You are less likely to assume that you can bend your environment to your will to maximize survival if you don't need to. Moving away from the equator put humans in conditions that required better long term pattern recognition skills to survive.

It's probably one of the greatest game it that regard though.
It has a healthy diversity that isn't token blacks and gays shoved into your throat.
Chinese, Brazilian, Arabs, Koreans are all underexplored ethnicities and Overwatch does a nice job just casually having them while also keeping them as distinct nationals. Not to mention openly xenophobic and nationalistic characters like Torbjorn and Zarya.

Tracer LGBT reveal was handled fucking fantastic - it's contained in a side media and absolutely not obnoxious as it usually is (remember Andromeda trans?). It gave the fags their token representation while also keeping the lore clean.

All this is coming from a homophobic nationalist Russian btw.
