No the EA practices have though.

Again, absolutely the opposite. EA programs have shown to be a great source of revenue and highly appreciated by investors looking to grow stock.
In fact, crowd-funding investment opportunities such as Fig have demonstrably proven that allowing consumers to pay during develeopment cycle is a highly motivational and profitable means to further business opportunity.

No, people playing games, giving in to microtransactions and ♥♥♥♥, ruined the industry.

Yet another complete opposite to the truth. As mentioned earlier. Microstransaction moneisation models have been a boon to the industry, allowing the companies to increasse their profit margins more than 50 times what could be gained through unit sales alone.
The industry has gone only from strength to strength and globally survived contractions and recessions with effectively no shrinkage.

EA practices are fantastic for investor however for the users it’s a crap deal.

So? The users' are there to consume and pay. It's absolutely irrelevant to the topic.

L1qu1dator eredeti hozzászólása:

Because profit margins is what makes games fun...

Irrelevant. "Fun games" has very little to do with the industry success. Consumers are willing to pay for broken, buggy, non-fun cash-grab services just as much (or often, even moreso than) as entertaining products, so it's really not relevant.

You both seem to be forgetting the question was "Has the "battle royale" genre ruined the video game industry?"
Not
"Are battle royale games good for consumer"

That consumers are always willing to pay for this "crap deal" regardless, just shows the current strength & health of the industry.

It’s very revelent to the topic unlike what you are trying to claim. EA practices is what has made the gaming industry crap not battle royale games. Good bye that’s all I have to say.

it has ruined videogaming industry and it is the source of all kind of anticonsumer crap,

This is somewhat contradictory. Anti-consumer practices in the videogaming industry seem to have served the industry extremely well in further exploding margins. Consider the thousandfold increase in revenue from, say, in-game purcahse microtransactions compared to the extremely slim returns from unit sales.

well, you see, my point of view is that games should be satisfying and fun for players first of all, not effective traps to fool consumers and suck money from their wallet while they are distracted

what's a battle and why is it a royal?

Seems to be one of those video-game genres where like a billion people come from the sky just to brutally murder each other like barbarians while doing adventures to find cooler stuff, so the battle part makes sense, why royal though is just one of the mysteries of the world.

It's royale not royal. Like 'royale' with cheese with the term 'royale' meaning 'Quarter Pounder.'

In this scene, Vincent describes his amusement at discovering that in Paris, Mcdonalds uses the metric system instead of the imperial, resulting in the Quarter Pounder w/ cheese being called a 'Royale with Cheese.'

As for 'Battle Royale,' the term originated in 2000 with the japanese movie 'Battle Royale.' It refers to a specific set of rules & methods for engaging opponents in battle. Here are the specific rules of engagement for battle royales:

Many modern 'battle royale' video games like Fortnite and PUBG owe their style and concept to this old movie.

I guess the term means "Battle + measurement or number." So it's like Battle+ with the '+' indicating 'more than one.' Meaning if there are 'more than one' combatants, then it isn't just a battle but a 'Battle Royale.'

Or else it just means extra cheese.

I haven't noticed anything.

Seems to be fairly successful, not something I'm interested in though, I burned out of my toxic competitive game spree during my late teens. It would be torture for me to play a Battle Royale game now, especially with all the extra people to deal with while playing them.

I downloaded Call of Duty Warzone a few months back, played the tutorial with bots then uninstalled the game. There's just something that doesn't click with me anymore while playing games like it.

Weren’t battle royale in arenas used as a form of trial by combat by the french aristocracy?

If i recall correctly, rebellious nobles were put into these arenas, which were seeded with experienced army veterans whose sole job was to ensure the death of the nobles in question, and who were often signed up for this as a sort of roman-style decimation punishment for minor infractions such as being drunk on duty, in order to be executed without it seeming to be an abuse of royal power.

The assignment of the veterans assumed, of course, that no more salient reasons for their assignment were available. French soldiers were often drunk you see, and their officers were often noblesse merde,[\i] so if the crown asked them to pick a few to maybe die they often had a few peasants in mind. Or were prepared to draw random lots from the drunk, or consult their sergeants[\i] to do the same.

This loosely parallels the plot of the Japanese film of the same name.

And, frankly, I think the genre is somewhat strange given the current state of world affairs.

Also some weirdos showed up in some of my rounds and played the part of vets in the past, but hey maybe they were just angry fathers with poor impulse control keen on roleplaying. Who also hacked my comms. And ‘split the moment’ so hard I felt it. Because...?
