Thanks, 2024 will be the year I try to branch out a bit from WoW. I'll always return to it here and there, I think I'll always have a softspot for WoW content, but yeah would like to try and diversify if possible

2024-05-02 17:16:16 +0000 UTCGreat video as always. I have not played an FPS style game since my Half-Life days so I haven't been caught up in this particular type of crap storm. But I have been playing versions of WarCraft and Diablo games since the mid-90's. I have witnessed many similar issues in the versions of those games that you frequently call out in your videos. Ultimately, the community is partially complicit in the situation. If they keep buying the services provided that undermine the games integrity, they developers want stop doing it. For the developers and the company that owns the IP, it is the fastest way to make money and that becomes the focus. Blizzard used to focus on 'how can we make the game better to attract more subscribers?' Now, like most game companies, the thought is 'what can we create in the short-term that the community, which is already committed (or dare I say addicted) to the game, will pay for?' Like you said in the video - digital items don't cost anything to reproduce. Once you have paid for the development costs, the money received for that new mount or pet or WoW token is pure profit. I have fallen for the sales pitches myself on a few occasions. I believe I have finally hung up my WoW time for good. I got into the SoD for a bit but I have canceled my subs and they will run out shortly. I now wait for something to be released that intrigues me like WoW did 20 years ago and that doesn't immediately start asking me to open my wallet five minutes in. Lee C
