There was literally nothing wrong with this. You just had to vote with your wallet.
Anthony Price
Jack Cooper
>That April Fools where they doubled the price of horse armor as a joke and they actually saw a big spike in sales
Gamers are retards who deserve what they get.
Tyler Reed
>just vote with your wallet
Chase Perez
I did, I pirated the whole thing back when it came out.
Thomas James
>only get to vote negative once
>can vote positive multiple times
vote with your wallet with a zero cost thing like that is gay, bad press and review bombers are superior
Elijah Perry
Zoomers act like this was the beginning, in reality you could buy Soda's/Pizzas which had codes long before this.
Oblivion Horse Armor was the equivalent of being able to directly buy a Collectors edition tier cosmetic reward, a feature today no one bats and eye over when it comes to optional purchases.
Jeremiah Rivera
voting will your wallet doesnt work when theres a million other uninformed retards who will gladly take your place. All it accomplishes is reinforcing the idea in the companies mind that you're not worth the effort. After all, why go through the trouble of pleasing one person, when you can do less work and get more?
Robert Butler
implying voting means anything in this age of social engineering
Aiden Diaz
A lot of people don't know that Gears of War 2 is responsible for the concept of season passes.
Bentley Parker
I hate this mode of thinking assuming everyone is acting as a rational or principled consumer. You're dumber than people who bought the horse armor
Hunter Reed
I bought the laugh taunt and some cosmetics back in the day. Never again, I will now stand strong against their jewish tactics.
Aiden Robinson
how much money did that DLC make anyway?
Austin Gonzalez
Ethan Allen
250 xbox gamer points but iirc you could only buy them 500 at a time for 5$.
Logan Mitchell
There's a lot of silly things in Oblivion yet for some reason this is the one that stands out the most
Adrian Butler
There's only one catalyst for MTX and it's pic related.
Isaac Thomas
do we have stats on how many sales it made?
Christopher Harris
Weren't these supposed to be free but MS didn't allow it?
Jose Robinson
I remember EGM bitching about this.
Jordan Hall
and that's why democracy is inherently bad :)
Jace Gonzalez
Battlehorn Castle became free later on.
Nolan Green
fucking retarded motherless whore
Gavin Hernandez
It was mortal kombat 9. Thanks Ed Boon.
Lincoln Evans
Basically correct, nobody is obligated to give you anything and you are not obligated to purchase anything. If a bunch of idiots are willing to pay for horse armor/gacha/gambling/whores/clothing/drugs/whatever, it's none of anyone else's business. The entire controversy is pure entitlement from spoiled gamers.
Ryder Morris
as of 2018 it was in the top 3 DLC sales for all Bethesda games.
Angel Scott
Sounds like a personal problem. As long as they don't have my money I don't care what other morons spend their dollars on.
Mason King
And your way of thinking is why the industry has devolved into what it is today. Guess it's just a personal problem though.
Andrew Nelson
Sure, but think about what that says about the concept of voting as a whole.
Isaiah Richardson
I want to believe this but it doesn't even matter when companies target addictive whales
Caleb Diaz
Nah, it was just that it became more feasible for companies to run a DLC-based model because of technological improvements.
You think Nintendo wouldn't have had Tetris DLC for Gameboy if it was possible? Dream on.
Josiah Robinson
Companies like the "vote with your wallet" meme because implicit in it is telling people not to publicly criticize shit
Ayden Taylor
LA Noires season pass predates MK9s by like a month.
Matthew Hill
Nobody gives a shit about faggot sports games.
Cameron Adams
I can't control what other people do with their money, only me. So if other people contribute to the problem, that's not my fault, nor my problem.
Xavier Mitchell
>Companies like it when you don't buy their products
Retard logic
Anthony Perry
Colton Perry
The people who finance games cared when they saw EA's numbers for that year
Caleb Stewart
>hurrr
They already know you're not going to buy it. They don't want you to convince other people not to buy it.
Hudson Hernandez
>"entitled gamers" meme when game consumers are the easiest to shekel and have virtually no standards
you better be getting paid for this I swear to God
Jordan Davis
No dude you don't understand, it was everyone else that bought it, not me, voting with your wallet doesn't work so I might as well buy it anyway (which I didn't btw)
Wyatt Gray
>he doesn't know that FUT accounted for quite literally ~35% of EAs yearly revenue in 2010 which was the catalyst for the entire fucking industry shifting to MTX.
The entire industry changed as a result of faggot sports games.
