Comment on No matter how many games as service flop, how many studios fail and close, executives will still insist on creating the next Fortnite, Overwatch, LOL, etc.

I recently started playing Disney Speedstorm as a fun casual kart game without Nintendo.

The gameplay is fantastic. The music bangs. The netcode is… alright. The game is fun!

But holy crap am I glad I don’t care about cosmetics and characters. This game is printing money on the backs of parents credit cards. Assuming everything was unlockable, you’re probably looking at 4-5 figures.

I’d gladly pay $80 for a game of this quality, but this kind of predatory nonsense should be illegal. And until it is, I can understand why companies are drawn to making games like this - it’s an unpatched infinite money glitch.
