the game that ruined the game industry

That's not the Atari ET game.

MINING MY WAY

Introducing Early Access and (to a lesser extent) Kickstarter was cancerous but probably not the biggest problem with the industry.

>>376961148
league was a cancer of its own, but its mostly a cancer that destroyed rts

>>376960548
your naive if you think that wasnt bound to happen.
pc and fps games were huge in europe, plus they were already on the n64 with its analog stick

DLC also ruined the video game industry. before DLC we had expansions. it lasted longer than a half hour to two hour.

>>376961552
consumers were blinded by the convenience of DLC and online patching. And obviously, publishers exploited it like crazy.

Sick of this dogshit

>>376960089
There's no DLCs in this game anon

>>376961552
>before DLC we had DLC in boxes

>>376961668
>no DLC

How long have you been playing Minecraft. They jew the fuck out of their console customers

>>376961707
DLC being in boxes made it harder to be lazy with since a box meant a retail investment and shipping investment. Both the publisher and the consumers wanted to get their monies worth so it forced the publisher to release something sustantial. Also, expansions were something controlled by a smarter PC consumer base, so if you tried to jew anyone, it was immediately found out and your series was shot.

How did Minecraft ruin the game industry? Just because the game is popular with kids doesn't mean its killing the market. If anything I think it's a good thing because I'd rather kids play Minecraft than a lot of other garbage that used to exist or exists today.

>>376961732
Microsoft and Sony charge out the ass to apply an update patch; Minecraft on consoles stays fairly close to the PC now.

haha, membah when COD 4 ruined the gaming industry?

The Nintendo Wii

all other answers are secondary

Yet we have MGS:Substance/Subsistence and Pokemon Yellow etc which were barely expanded versions of the game that you had buy at full price because they were "full" games.
And people still did it as there was no other way to enjoy that content.

>>376962289
We call those people gullible shills. And MGS and Pokemon fans are some of the most braindead and devoted fanbase I ever saw.

The following have ruined the game industry: CoD, Madden, FIFA, other yearly releases.

>>376962457
Just examples. Most Japanese games tend to have "better" versions come out. Look at fucking Street Fighter.
You could argue GOTY Editions are a similar concept these days, but at least with DLC you can upgrade your already purchased game to a complete state.

What ruined the industry was the huge push for cinematics, making games more like interactive movies. This led to more and more games being easy and contain simpler writing. The fact that most games don't have casual filters by default is what ruined the industry.

I too long for the days I would get stuck in Hill Top Zone 1 because I had 50 rings and all the chaos emeralds at the sign post.

>>376962714
Street Fighter is another thing. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt due to their tournament scene, but after what they did with SF4, and now 5, I'm convinced it was all a marketing scheme.

the funny part is that hollywood tried the cinematic approach earlier and got btfo. Ironic that in their second coming, it finally ends up working with a dumber consumer base.

>>376962816
Honestly, fighting games have no excuse. Their "definitive" versions tend to amount to nothing more than 2 new characters and balance changes. You could do all of that with DLC for the new characters and a patch, why should you buy the game again at full price?

>>376963321
Ideally, you would say that, but look how much capcom is using that to jew the fuck out of its players with SFV.

>>376961668
there absolutely is

That is the cancer but mostly for ES-meme

they won you guys.

>>376963725
The reason why that works is because giving anyone a competitive advantage is in their nature. So when you give people extra stuff that they can buy with money, it makes it feel like they are special and above those who didn't spend any money. It's the perfect feedback loop, especially in games like Overwatch.

Thats not skyrim

>>376964376
Skyrim introduced elder scrolls to normies, and you can say was the death of the series, but not exactly the death of the industry
