Time to Unite: '15 Cover Vote

[Night Prowler X]

mostly they are $60 at release. buy every crappy game has a collectors/limited/paymore version that adds to it.

That's quite surprising that they only cost that much. The bigger games were $50+ at release back in the late 90s.

They did research and basically 60 dollars is the most people are willing to pay in a lump sum for a game. Back in the day there wasn't nearly as robust a used games market. If it's too expensive people will just buy it used a few months later.

 

But they still get their money via micro transactions. Back in the 90s if you wanted to unlock a new level or whatever you had to do it by beating the game. Now you pay 10 dollars and get access to "additional" content. Some people pay subscriptions for game updates and new maps. You can even buy cosmetic things like uniforms or armor.

 

It's like buying your daughter a 60 dollar barbie and all it comes with is a bathing suit. All the brushes, houses, cars, and clothes are extra.

 

It's a total racket.

It ain't that bad! None of my games have DLC other than map packs that come out every half a year or so.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Per day. I've voted for the next 20,000 days

Yeah, I like to think of it as proactively making up for lost time.

I've never paid for DLC other than maps or expansions. Usually for the other stuff you can unlock it the old fashioned way or get microtransactioned to death. I always choose the old fashioned way.

So the voting for this round ends at what time today?

So the voting for this round ends at what time today?

 

They are announcing the winners of this round on NFL live today. Which starts at 4PM Est.   So sometime right before then.

This would totally be me if Cam wins this thing:

 

 

 

[The Huddler]

Well it gives you a good excuse to go get a system!

[SpeedOFLight]

I don't own a video system but I have been wanting to play some football in the offseason. If Cam wins, I am definitely getting me a system (probably 360 or ps3) They are cheap at this moment. Those new systems IMO are not worth it at this point and not worth me shelling out 500 bucks..

[Mark S]

4:00 couldn't come any sooner!

[The Huddler]

You guys realize how unnatural it would look with Cam doubling everyone's totals right? I mean it could start a total shitstorm, if EA or ESPN or whatever doesn't cover our votes up. We will know if they do!

[Mark S]

Who's to say other fan bases aren't doing the same thing?

[The Huddler]

Well they probably are but I think we maximized our method and have a good amount of people doing it. I think we win the whole thing easy
