        Does this cover the 100 hour weeks Rockstar were pulling for RDR2 or did that news break to late for this video?

        It broke too late to be a huge focus, but late enough for me to insert a mention of it.

        I remember you made a video looking at crunch a few years ago, but have you considered taking another look at it? There’s enough shittiness in the industry I’m sure you could do an extensive piece at least quarterly. God (thanks for Jim Sterling) that’s depressing.

        Since the Rockstar news this morning, I'm strongly considering it for an upcoming video subjects. Especially the way certain press outlets gloss over it when it comes up in an interview, and the fact there's no accountability for it anywhere in the industry.

        It's likely because people wrongly spout "This is how things are" and accept it. That's easier than changing things , right? Apathy is better, right? But this tends to be how things are. X is a problem => It's just how things are => Nothing changes. Need to break this shit.

        "They need microtransactions to fund DLC/continued development" is the funniest one. How much do people think continued development actually costs? Hint: it's a lot less than what the game initially cost to make, and they turned a profit on that with retail sales alone.

        Like, bullshit Activation Blizzard need lootboxes in Overwatch to develop new content for it. They could fund a decade of future development off lifetime sales up to this point, and they still sell over a million copies a year... more than enough to fund a bit of extra content.

        You know what? Spiderman my end up as my GOTY, simply because it has NONE of this bullshit in it. I bought the game, I got the ENTIRE game, and I had a lot of fun playing it. Not one thing pushed me to spend more money on it, and I never needed to. What a novel concept.

        It is a corporations feduciary duty to make as much money as possible for stockholders in whatever means possible. Are people confused about this?

        Correction, mate. It's their professional duty to maximize returns on their shareholder's investments. Their fiduciary duty is to ensure that said maximisation is done ethically, i.e without fucking over the stakeholders (customers, etc).

        It's really sad how many people defend scumbag practices just because it's not hurting them personally and making money is all about that "the end justifies the means".

        A bit unrelated, but last night, I noticed some gamers using this mysterious 90s brochure to get people to stop complaining about the price of games and the inclusion of microtransactions as a stop gap to raising prices. I call so much BS on this.pic.twitter.com/IVPoEgYAO8

        At least back then you were buying a finished product. EA, Activision, and Ubisoft want us to pay that much for collector's editions of games that still have 8 pages of DLC and microtransactions in them

        Gaming numbers eventually balance out. Back then the industry wasn't so massive as it is now. The retail price is the base game but most games come with future DLC etc now. Publishers should be able to make the extra amount with add ons etc. Swindle gamers in more honest ways.
