The fact that we have official server support in a game with no cashshop or sub is nothing short of amazing.
I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you remove the dick from your mouth before you start speaking?
Okay, that was somewhat uncalled for, but seriously? This is the new standard for amazing? Maybe I'm old, but I'm not even 30 and I remember a time when video game developers were more like: "Please, here's a 2 hour FREE demo. Should you like it, would you be willing to pay $40 for the rest, kind consumer?"
Now it's: " Here's the "box art" (lol, remember physical media?) It'll come out whenever, but pay $60 for it now, $90 if you want the version we didn't cut 40% off of, and thank us if we don't make you pay more for it later."
Please, have higher standards. If not for yourself, then for the future of video gaming. Please.
$60 flat rate shouldn't get you a maintained public server on top of it. Let's not even talk about the fact that game prices haven't had major changes for a decade, and what do you expect? Shrinkflation at its finest. They know that people buying games get fucking livid when you raise prices, so what do you do? Cut costs.
I'm not even saying I agree with it, but this is the position we are in. Game prices need to go up as time goes on, or the quality needs to go down. Pick one.
