Of course if you have artists designing those vanity items for you individually, and they are existing in the game uniquely, it would make sense that type of personalized experience will cost an arm and a leg.

I'm sure there is a sweet spot, but that is never going to be the focus of a company. They want to find the sweet spot that gets people to pay them, and rightly so, they aren't in it for charity. That's why I've always preferred subscription models. I pay a flat rate and the company still has to cater to my interests as a customer moving forward. Sadly that model is in decline.

Of course, both GTA and RDR offer fantastic single player campaigns that don't cost extra and have a tremendous amount of content.

More Funny than ever (funny stuff topic)
Someone's bitter. That had to have been made by someone who has never had a relationship. Either that or a ruined Sugar Daddy.

The future of Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny
Not that I think many even take on private investors, but investing in video game companies seems to be a pretty risky proposition. Unless you get in on the ground floor before some indie studio blows up, it would seem to be a good way to lose money, or at least not gain much. Also I have a hard time believing the OP is in a position to invest meaningfully in a billion dollar industry if he is posting for details on an obscure video game forum. But maybe I've grown cynical.

America Is Numba One!
He has been around since 2014 and just dumps dumb stuff and leaves, so he might actually predate a couple of those.

Hey, it's based on a pretty scant amount of historical evidence. Gotta fill the pages somehow.

So At the Gates looks like it will actually see the light of day. I wrote this one off, but it doesn't look too shabby. That means the only Kickstarter project that hasn't delivered is the Space Quest guys.- What Kind Of Zones/Regions Do You Want To See?
Mountain West and Greenwich.- Will this game atone for Pillars of Eternity?
Will your face atone for looking like a butt? Um, I mean welcome back Monte.- Weird. Random. Interesting.

Bethesda also kicks puppies, so these reactions are totally reasonable.- What did you do today?
Went for an early morning run/bike in the cold, and now I'm upstairs relaxing and hiding out while my wife and daughter have a Girl Scouts meeting. I was too tired to do much other than watch TV, and I stumbled upon this Gamer's Choice Awards show. You know, I love video games. I've played them my entire life. I am fascinated by the history of the early gaming companies and how they turned it into such a big industry. I love reading about the development process and all that goes into making games today. But I just don't get the gaming culture. I'm watching this show and I just find awkward and obnoxious. Like they have these hosts who describe the games, and it is just not believable that they have any idea what they are talking about. Some young kid comes out in a tie, but he's got the shirt untucked and is wearing skinny jeans, and I'm like, what? Why is there a DJ? Why is Snoop Dogg getting an award? I mean, the trailers are nice, but holy moly. Maybe I'm just an old fart who doesn't understand kids these days.- Fallout 4 and 76: Cautionary Tales
man how cool is this guy telling people how little he cares and thinks, don't strain yourself typing a sentence there tony twist man some might say i care to much about punchuation and stuff but those people are wack- The Political Thread - Burlamaqui edition
I'm a bit surprised at the list of what they are excluding, or maybe I'm not understanding the context. Nutritional therapy? Good nutrition would seem to be just about as important as it gets for maintaining health. I'm also pretty sure vitamins and human movement have plenty of research to back them up as important for maintaining health.- What are you playing right now?
I'm not sure I buy the whole idea that RPG's need to have choices when it comes to story. I can think of a number of traditional RPG's that give you little choice when it comes to fighting bosses and advancing the main quests. I guess maybe you can call it more of an action-RPG, but really RDR2 fills a bunch of different genre checkboxes and at the end of the day you are left with a fantastic game.- What did you do today?
Luxor is a bit of an odd place. Carrot Top is there, and he puts on a great show. The rest is a bit depressing, to be honest, but Mandalay Bay is super close, so make sure you have a drink at the top in the Skyfall Lounge. Too bad they closed the steampunk themed RX Boiler room recently, you would have dug that.
