Alexander DeLarge posted:Gotta put your money where your mouth is sometimes :^) ...you don't though, that's why this is a kickstarter. you can literally wait for it to get funded and play for free instead of dropping $400 on Hellgate London 4. why did you do this, spending Star Citizen-style doesn't do anything in games that exist never mind crowdfunded ones

Alexander DeLarge posted:If you got the $400 pledge with the lifetime subscription you wouldn't have to worry about that. when has any MMO had a lifetime subscription and lasted longer than the subscription was worth though? never mind the near certainty it'll go F2P you're better than lethality, don't stoop to his level of spending big people money on dead-before-arrival games

8-bit Miniboss posted:Does Star Trek Online count? does it still do subscription only or is there some kind of plex/F2P system? I don't recall it being pure subscription like for this $400 cash fire to be worth it the game would have to be subscription-only for 2.5 years, no plex and no free mode. and assuming you would've subscribed that whole time, since some goons just sub/unsub when they want to take a break from a game Mr. Pickles posted:holy motherfuckin poo poo, is that a thing? imagine the horror and turmoil once this becomes FTP in like 3 months after they officially release it it's been a thing for the past 10 years or so yeah, most games expecting to fold/go free in like a year do lifetime subscriptions. also :h5:, RO is p. cool outside of the horrifying endgame grind Good Dumplings fucked around with this message at 11:20 on May 3, 2017 |

8-bit Miniboss posted:Well I did the math really quick, STO was released in February 2010. If you ordered the lifetime sub when it was discounted at $249.99 you had 17 months to enjoy the full length of the costs of regular sub of $14.95 a month. July 2011 is the point the lifetime sub paid for itself. It didn't hit F2P until January 2012. those are really bad odds but they're nonzero, so I'll take it Alex please tell me there's no larger tiers. failing that please tell me you're not going to spend more than $400 on a MMO kickstarter by a known pyramid schemer

we have two whole programmers for a genre that often demands dozens/hundreds also isn't "list all the projects our staff left/were fired from" what Wildstar did all the time

SweetBro posted:Cause people were bringing up WoW's original game budget and I was pointing out that the number was largely irrelevant because although WoW was great for it's time, it's release version is trash by today's standards. ...why were they bringing up the budget in the first place, it looks like you didn't keep addressing that so people concluded that "guy thinks good game is bad" instead

Alexander DeLarge posted:How'd you know? Not even joking. I wasn't kidding when I said you have an instinctive preference for games that don't sell, it's a research topic that got some attention a few years back. It doesn't mean you're a bad person, the things you like in a product just tend to be things that ensure they'll never turn a good profit. Lethality is another example except he actually is a huge rear end in a top hat to people that don't agree with him: if he likes a game that's basically the kiss of death even if it makes it to release.
