Comment on Every game developer company should be like this

Some single players, specially ones made by Ubisoft are becoming absolute money grabbers as well. Gran Turismo 7 was also a bit disappointing since they are also selling the virtual currency for actual money, while forcing you to grind a lot.

There are more armor sets in Assassin’s Creed Valhallas premium store than are in the base game

Thing is I played some of the recent Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry games, and I noticed them holding the begging bowl out, but much like with Mass Effect 3 (which was the first place I saw this), I can’t work out who it’s targeting.

Just basic playing of the game and the actual main and side story content (and I’m not grinding repeatable quests or doing randomly generated content dotted all over AC Odyssey’s map) will get you everything you need to finish it, and leave you with giant piles of resources left over. Just who is buying this?

  I think there’s an absurdly rich demographic out there that just wants the “skip” items for a strange sense of prestige. They’re not very logical people, and some would argue they probably didn’t earn their millions.

    Same with GTA, people moan about shark cards but if you actually play the game then it’s impossible not to make huge sums of money - sometimes I go.on to do some races, shoot up some gangsters or run some missions because that’s why I got the game then I see I’ve got a couple of million so I buy a new jet or something.
    
    There are people who only seem to play to tick off all the boxes and get the highest numbers, I even had someone tell me it’s not worth doing certain races because they don’t pay well - it’s a game not a job!
    
    But like you said, there are a lot of very rich people with this mentality and they’ll use real money to buy a gold plated luxury jet which isn’t even especially fun to fly and has no in game purpose simply because it’s there - not to knock my friends who’ve brought it because it’s fine to RP in and they like everyone else have stacks of cash because it’s fun speedrunning cayo.
