Xbox one

[Statyk]

Very much so actually. I don't know the community there or how they think/act but considering the mindset of a lot of developers when it comes to this stuff it really wouldn't surprise me. I already made a long ass rant about this here, but yeah unfortunately it really wouldn't surprise me if people are actually promoting the shitty policies and ideas behind the Xbox one because like I said, all they do are help recement a strategy that has been broken for years now instead of trying to look forward and adapt to these issues.

It's not fixing the problem it's just making it harder to fix once this sort of marketing system finally does cave in and people are forced to change. Not a very good idea imo

As a person working to become a game dev, I honestly don't like this policy. It's pathetic. Why should a developer be paid twice or more for ONE product? That doesn't fly anywhere else in the world, but it does in games? What's happening to games? Where did the "made for fun" aspect go? I can understand profit, but you should make a product that sells a lot, not a product that struggles to sell, so to make money off that failing product, place a "re-purchase" on it. That IS a lazy and horrible way to market, no doubts about it.

Well look at it this way. Gamers are getting smarter, and chances are, the Xbox One is NOT going to sell well. That's pretty much unquestionable at this point, especially how Microsoft isn't changing anything about the X1 for the better. It's going to crash, and they'll be forced to revert to the right ways of doing things whether they like it or not. Otherwise they'll just keep losing money.
