buying shitty skins that have no impact on games isnt pay to win though. its extremely anti-consumer, but it isnt pay to win.

Yeah, they have not make up for the overbloated dev+marketing cost by charging $60 up front plus tip
>still
You mean 'ever' playing western games.
Honestly, expectable. It's a ubi game in [CURRENT YEAR] after all. Now I just don't care anymore.
I'm sure BGE2 will have lootboxes, especially since your craft your own space ship.

>poo in lootbox

How are developers supposed to resist the urge to make such easy money?
>>387139051
I'm pretty sure most of these decisions are instigated by the publishers, not the developers. Devs rarely get any money post-launch, except in certain arrangements for bonuses or if the game is independently published.
This right here is just Ubisoft wanting to hedge their bets on new IP by ensuring some kind of post-launch money stream.

>reflect "real economy of the Indian Ocean"

Fuck valve for popularizing this bullshit, it was bad enough when korean games did it but you had to bring it to the west.

They mean it'll become profitable in 2020 just like the Indian state.

"Games as a service" yeah sure doing a huge favor to shareholders there.

>real economy of the Indian Ocean
The sad thing is that all those 12 year old kids who are the target demographics of these games are going to actually thing that such statement is not some meaningless marketing slang, but actually think that it's a real feature of the game.
