Anyone else worried about what ske7ch said the other day about the monetization?

Games Halo Infinite

Videogames don’t matter, in the big scheme of things. Arguing about topics you find no value in is also pointless.
You can boil anything down to not mattering other than eating, drinking and procreation.

exactly, so if the videogame doesn’t matter then why would the cosmetics matter?

congrats, you just played yourself.

(in your comment that you deleted while I was typing this :slight_smile: )

Now you’re just being obtuse - deliberately trolling.

Both games were (and still are) incredibly successful.

I’ve no problems with the direction they went, I only have qualms about the way they set those things up, since they are obviously counter-productive to what they want to achieve. We’re not talking about the people who are simply angry at this game having F2P, they’re literally crying over spilt milk. But if their main goal was to bundle up dung and sell it like it’s a brick of gold and think people wouldn’t have a problem with that? That’s whacky.

Well, what’s your take?

Why would you delete it and just repost it lol

107

If you’re not willing to acknowledge that they both had severe issues then you’re the one who’s being obtuse. Or maybe you just don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t know.

108

I quoted the wrong person

109

You can’t forget H4 and it’s debacle of a launch

110

Halo 4 was at least a complete game and technically functional at launch. It just wasn’t a very good one.

111

okay well you still played yourself.

You just told me that cosmetics don’t matter with your reply, confirming what I said.
So yeah, again, cosmetics doesn’t matter at the end of the day.

112

My take is that you are far too dramatic. Infinite is “dung”? Lmao. Dude, get real.

Infinite has been hugely successful so far.

Is there cause for disappointment? Yes.

Does that warrant railing against micro transactions and acting as if the world is ending? Hardly.

We already know more game modes, playlists, &tc are on the way. And yet trolls act as if Infinite has already failed.

I’ll ask again, how about all of the other design decisions in the matchmaking system that are clearly also designed around monetization?

Saying “cosmetics don’t matter” is a convenient way to brush off criticism over their implementation of the model, but it doesn’t change the fact that they literally launched a Halo multiplayer without the intention to include a Slayer playlist LOL

114

Oh, so the problem is that these games had issues, huh? Lol

Every single modern day game has problems. Halo is no different. Expecting otherwise shows your ignorance.

Using my comment against means you agree with me. Great. Why are you in the forums doing what you are complaining about other people doing?

117

Do you even remember where this conversation started?

And “modern games just blow so that’s the expectation and therefore criticism of them is illegitimate” is a ludicrous argument.

118

Dude has a personalized avatar, but rails on cosmetics. Just a hypocrite troll plain and simple.

119

I’ll never understand why some people are so opposed to criticism of corporate business practices and critically evaluating the value proposition of corporate products, as if they’re emotionally invested.

120

maybe you’re right, maybe there is some evil masterplan to design the game around monetization.

but at the end of the day, the game is still playable, enjoyable and fun. You not buying an armour coating or buying the Battle Pass or even a tier skip for it won’t retract from the fact that those statements are true.
You don’t have to buy anything because they’re purely cosmetics and has literally zero value.

What people should be complaining about is the lack of modes we have and some of the genuine bugs that actually matters.

THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING about cosmetics or the monetization in this game that matters.
Want that armour set? Well you have to buy for it, don’t want to? Tought luck, time to play this incredibly fun game at Red or Blue spartan #1436
