I REPEAT, THE DEVS HAVE ADDED PAID CRATE SYSTEM TO THE GAME IN THE NEWEST UPDATE. Currently $2.50 for a key and rng style system al a csgo.

Discuss, I was looking forward to buying the game but I don't really like gated content.

If you look at the community market for more than 3 minutes you'll realise why, they've tapped into a goldmine of retarded idiots with disposable income willing to shill out money for that kinda thing - coincidentally the same crowd who play CS:GO and other such hot topic games.

Yeah and unless your dev is any different, he isn't because he just rebranded a concept like a shifty eyed heeb, he'll eventually just focus on developing shit cosmetics and maybe patch the game every 6 months like Valve.

Also, take the dick out of your mouth.
>>
>>385142081
Are you implying they didn't already get money for the product? And that said product was tied with assurances from the developer? I mean the fucker can go back on it all he wants, but are you seriously defending that kind of practice? Shit, doesn't this kind of stuff fall under false advertising to some extent? If you want to enjoy the seething impotent rage of people online over them getting fucked over by a developer, be y guest. Personally I find it a bit bitter should that kind of practice be used against my own interests later on as the practice is suddenly accepted.

Fast forward 6 months and you have minor stat gains or shoes that make you quieter. Patches are entirely about special timed lootboxes during major holidays, special "set bonus" equipment for equipping everything from a crate. Special items giving free items with negligible downsides, weapon skins sourced from the community and now comprising 90% of the cosmetic stuff they throw into the game. 1% super rare item from crates.

So two legit question:

People claim that if you own a game during Early Access, it's irrelevant how long you've played, once it exits Early Access you can request a refund, no questions asked. Is this true?

Second, if you got a game gifted by a friend, what happens if you request a refund? Will you get the money or will your friend get their money back?

It depends on who you talk to. Older people will tend to call it casual. Younger generation is a little more open to different marketing practices so they don't understand the connotation or it doesn't matter, or [insert whatever]. Either way, if the dev wants to pump out content like the cheap whores they sound like. They have to do this. Since the game itself isn't enough to stand on its own merits.

There is no excuse for paid crates and keys in a game you have to buy to play in the first place. If they wanted to make actual content they would release all these skins in DLC packs rather than trickle them out through literal gambling. It's pure greed and degeneracy.

To all the people complaining in this thread: go watch the movie, Battle Royale. It inspired this game, the skins in this update, and countless derivative works. It's so good that you may just come out of it having completely forgetten what you were complaining about, and instead getting fucking hype to get a Noriko skin, or a Kazuo Kiriyama skin.

PLAYERUNKNOWN I have mixed feelings about the key and crate system being in this game. I think that having the profits from the crates to fund seasonal events and give money to charities is really cool and awesome, but I don't want it to become permanent and for you guys to become greedy. Personally I would like to see more gameplay updates in the future than cosmetics. Anyway, I still really enjoy the playing and I love all this communication and frequent updates. You guys are awesome and I can't wait for the full release! :D

Bitch bitch bitch, stop already. You people are never happy. Go play an Ubisoft game that's been released for nearly a year. Enjoy a broke dick game with zero support or communication from the developers. You will get the new content when it's ready. Optimizations are still the priority and they will come when ready. You don't release shit just to release it and possibly make experiences worse rather than better.

I can't believe how reactionary /v/ has gotten. It's literally shit cosmetics that do not affect gameplay at all, what happened to the stiff upper lip around here? who cares about being "locked out of content" if that content is just stupid cosmetics? if you actually want that kind of thing then you should be ashamed of yourself, it's totally ancillary to what makes a game good/fun

worst case scenario, these cosmetics are totally out of place and either ruin the game's visual design (TF2) or fuck with silhouette identification (Dota 2.) but it doesn't seem to me that this is what people are complaining about ITT, it seems more like people are just jumping on the opportunity to shit on something that is new and popular.

This isn't going to "ruin" the game. ONE case is payed for, the cosmetics have no in game effect , so how is this going to "ruin" the game?

I'm sure a good portion of the PUBG fanbase has seen Battle Royale. They weren't subtle at all about what inspired the game. Just because the new skins look great doesn't mean it's not shitty that we have to buy random crates for them. They also make it sound like they're limited time skins.

It's the responsibility of a company to produce the highest possible return on investment to its shareholders, anything short of that is literally illegal. Paid cosmetics are a tried and tested method of raising profits for little to no expense on part of the company and does not harm the end-user. Leaving the virtual cosmetic market unexploited is nothing short of idiotic.

Low effort = high profits are what business is all about, use the minimum effort to gain the maximum profits.

Also is just skins, not like you can buy a flare and throw it to receive armor in the middle of the game.

I play the games for the gameplay, not because of skins, when they optimize that shit i will buy it, is not like i will start naked and i have to buy cosmetics to customize my character.

To provide funds needed to organize the event

But DotA is. It was funded entirely off of microtransactions for items/events. Each international has had more money funneled in from compendiums then what valve actually puts into them. But I guess that would go against your narrative?

These crates in PUBG are literally temporary crates to support their event and charity and go away after the event.

Curious that they have these crates just about finished and ready to go even though they said they wouldn't have them until after the game releases, and coincidentally pushing back the monthly update, even if it is due to "complications with a client crash bug last week.". You'd think they'd want to focus on improving the actual game, since it's EA after all.

well I never experienced any of that 24/7 online transaction market that you seem convinced exists, and I played 2000 hours of Dota between 2012-2014. crates existed for that entire time. so... I guess my personal experience differs from yours, assuming you even played the game at all.

I appreciate the mental gymnastics, but that's sorely wrong.
>I don't want to pay to get fucked in the ass.
You're not losing anything by not buying cosmetics. Because they're cosmetics. You know what that means right? That means they have absolutely no impact on the gameplay itself.
>If they want to market towards people who aren't discretionary in their spending, thats fine. I'm just not going to support that.
The way you support that is by buying into the cosmetic content, not by buying the game.
Even then, "supporting" the devs is a false, self-fellating idea. The money you'd spend is an insignificant amount to them and it's value according to you only applies to you.
>The "objective" quality of the game is affected by its buisness model whether you accept it or not.
Except and the cosmetic business model for PUBG is harmless to the game itself. There's no reason to believe it takes away from other development at all. You know how studios function right?
>If anything you're being silly and your priorities are out of order.

THEY HAVE PEOPLE WORKING SOLELY ON CODING

Paid cosmetics are the perfect business model for online games:
>Drooling retards constantly inject money into the game whist gaining no advantage.
>Game continues to make profit after intial sales dry up, so servers stay up, development continues etc.
>Non-retards get to continue playing the game at no additional cost
>>
>>385153498
>no advantage
>the entire purpose of playing multiplayer games is to stick out, demonstrate your superiority to others
>cosmetic items achieve this instantly
>literally you win the social aspect of the game
>no advantage

its dipshit cucks like you who fell for the 'just cosmetics' meme that are responsible for why its no longer possible to ever earn any kind of cool item/costume in game anymore.

How about you spend the money that you use for people to work on cosmetics and put that towards getting more people on coding then.

Because it's mostly 13 - 16 year old normalfags who watched their favourite youtuber shilling the game and they want to look cool like him. They also don't value their money and tend to end up as wagecucks later down the line and complain about their wage and how annoying work is. I fucking hate how much influence Youtube and especially Twitch has on the game market, fucking retarded twitch memespammers swallow anything their streamer says or plays.

The mental gymnastics in your post deserves a place on the Olympic team.

I do not want to support the trend of paid games that sequester content piece meal behind microtransactions, even if that content is just "cosmetic". It's the same reason I refuse to support always online single player games, even though it technically has "no impact on the gameplay itself".

By buying games with microtransactions, you are supporting microtransactions in future games. The profit margin on microtransactions is incredibly slim, you only need 1% of the playerbase to buy into them to make it worthwhile. As long as you buy games with microtransactions you are part of the market for microtransactions. The "false, self-felating" idea that it supports the devs is the entire rationale for microtransactinos beyond "companies exist to make money". And if the amount people spend is insignificant to them, then why are they charging for it in the first place?

Again, the so called "objective" quality of the game is affected by its buisness model whether you accept it or not. You can try to handwave it as cosmetic all you want, but if you paid attention to the current trend at all it's obvious that once studios start making money off of microtransactions, thats where the focus of their development goes towards.

If you can have fun with games despite microtransactions, p2w, always online etc then good for you. I couldn't give a single shit about your out of order priorites, trying to handwave the profit motive of microtransactions as some "hidden meaningless agende" is disingenuous as best. Defending microtransactions, cosmetic or not is the most nu-/v/ thing you can do.
>>
>>385153920
Since when "not giving a shit" is equal to "supporting"?
>>
>>385153919
If they didn't give a shit, why would they buy into this business model? Clearly they give a shit, they purchased and are defending a game with casino crates.
>>
>>385152925
character skins are cosmetics
>>
>>385154025
If you purchase one you obviously give a shit, at least enough to purchase one so no you don't get to sit on the fence then, you're supporting a practice.
>>
>>385154124
and Timesplitters has none. it only has different characters

Not only because of no max ping, the engine netcode and servers are garbage too, just look it up. EU was running the equivalent of like 7-10 tickrate, in a fucking shooter. This shit makes CSGO look so good in comparison it's not even funny. I play on NA from europe btw, not because i want to but because i'm forced to by the rampant stupidity of the developer. Any time i queue on EU i invariably at some point in the game get killed by some 400 ping asscrack whos 10 shots look like 1 on my client.

So you don't want developers to rip off retards who actually spend money on crate keys, which directly dumps additional funds into their hands, which they then use to create post-release content (new maps, new guns, whatever) for everyone to use?

That just makes you foolish, and I hope you kill yourself you wasteful shortsighted sack of cat cum.

It's a PR issue. When your game is a laggy unoptimized piece of shit that makes a 1070 struggle on low settings, you don't announce paid fucking cosmetics, you fix the fucking game.
>>
>>385154263

you said that ">>385152041
saying p2w in games is bad makes you 'triggered'". but the post you were replying to was talking about people ITT, being angry at the pubg announcement. the announcement is about paid cosmetics, which is not p2w. so either you failed to understand the post you were replying to, or you meant exactly what I said that you meant. either way your post was fucking stupid.

now explain to me what I didn't understand, genius
>>
>>385153440
They will also never finish or improve the game because they know they can siphon money from retards that keep buying digital pixel clothes by just going into photoshop and draw some shitty thing for 10 minutes and put it into a crate. I fucking hate the people who defend this shit system, most of them are disgusting twitchfags as well.
>>
>>385150961
I mean at that point you might as well be justifying selling guns and ammo in this game. Should people just assume the worst and expect it since companies exist to make money?

Voting with your wallet only works with rational actors. "vote with your wallet" is really only a smug way to say shut up to others from people that never expected it to have any real influence.

I don't see TF2, CSGO, DOTA, H1Z1 making new maps or new guns at all. Fucking hell the jews are out in full force tonight.

Let me explain it simply and slowly since your head is too far up your own ass to listen to reason.

Look at game
Game looks fun
Buy game
If game is not fun, don't play game. Get refund.
If game is fun, keep playing.
but game has cosmetics that you can buy.
Do cosmetics do anything to gameplay.
No, they do not.
Do cosmetics do not make game more fun or less fun?
No, they do not.
Do cosmetics matter then?
No, they do not.
Continue play game.

See? that wasn't hard was it?
Again, the false sense of self worth you get from ""supporting"" a game or not matters to no one but yourself.
You hinder no one but yourself by letting yourself be concerned about things that don't actually matter.
You're going to keep telling me I'm the wrong one here, but it will only be as true as your ass backwards opinion. This is your last (You)
>>
>>385154819

not the same because that would adversely affect gameplay, and cosmetics don't. can you not see the distinction between p2w and cosmetics?

>>385154857
you know nothing about TF2 then, because it released multiple official item packs and at least two new modes after the mann co. update

and dota has steadily been adding/restoring characters ever since its cash shop has gone online too

can't speak of the other two since i've never played them, but you picked some pretty retarded examples bud

Yeah I'm retarded that people whine their livejournal blog on /v/ as if anyone cares.

Don't buy the game. I don't give a shit. Whining about your halfbaked and shortsighted reasons will just lead me to call you a retard if you do it publicly.
>>
>>385141510
If it was a F2P game I would be more than happy with it, but if a game costs over 10 bucks and has micro transactions, cosmetic or not, it can fuck the right off.
>>
>>385154917
Except you don't have to buy the microtransactions. and doing so provides no advantage.
so why would OP dump his interest for the game over something that doesn't matter?
It makes no sense

>>385154664
>saying p2w in games is bad makes you 'triggered'". but the post you were replying to was talking about people ITT,
The reply was talking about people who use the word triggered to defend business practices. Which is spelled out in that post.

>retarded examples
Both games are from valve. They have absolutely NO problem implementing this shit in without the help of crates. They made a lot just from the fucking sales on steam and you're saying their retarded examples.

How autistic are you? TF2 had like 6 people working on it for a year one time.

Dota is a big name and was going to bring in enough money already, fuck sake they held tournaments for millions and it's still taking time for new shit. Holy fuck the mental gymnastics you are doing is astounding.
>>
>>385154880
How is that relavent? The rationale can be used to justify both. Companies exist to make money, you should always assume the worst and asking questions like "Why do they have to charge extra money? Don't they already make enough?" is naive at best. And the money they charge for P2W content directly dumps additional funds into their hands, which they then use to create free post-release content. And you don't have to buy P2W content if you don't want, it's optional.
>>
>>385148486
You completely missed the point retard, I'm saying kicking someone in the chest isn't a natural reaction in arguments or fights. Getting shoved and punched is
