That's why you should pay Blizzard for the privilege of owning one of their authenticator tokens. It only costs like 6 bucks so, really, it's almost like they're doing you a favor.
I did this with Swtor and in hind site it's a huge hassle. You need that stupid code to login to everything. Website, forums, account info, game, everything. Far as I can tell there is no easy way to remove it so I never bothered but to.
Nevermind that is costs $8 or something like that. If you need an authenticator just to play a game then you've failed as a developer. |

Wooo Hooo! I got hacked! I haven't logged in weeks (maybe a month?) and got an email last night from blizzard that my account info was being changed. I checked to make sure this wasn't a fake email and noticed I could not longer log into Battle.net.
Started the account recovery process and now I'm locked out and I've been warned that if this happens 2 more time they won't unlock it and I'll be forever banned!
Something I'm noticing now is that they don't have any additional security questions to make this kind of thing harder. The only option they offer for additional security is connected to a phone or an app. (app = phone in my mind) Long story short if I don't want to trust them with my phone info then security is limited at best.
Heh, no fucking way I'm putting your app on my phone or giving you the number Blizzard. I did add additional security to my email though, hopefully google can handle that...since they all but "own" my phone anyway...

| As someone who purchased this on XBLA I'd like to have access to play it on windows as well. Hopefully they can someway to get a person like me access without having to pay for the game again in full. |

If you look at the gaming website's content in general as lobbyists for the AAA gaming industry this makes a bit more sense.
I'm seeing some evil billionaire sitting at a little table sipping tea, "Saying, oh no they can't do that." (When kickstarter first gets rolling)
Then "They can't do that!" (as more projects get funded)
"NO NO NO, they can't do that!!" (Kickstarter catches fire and projects start showing up from every direction)
"NOOOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!! STOPPP!!!! (today)
It just seems like a desperate attempt to keep people away, "They're all going to scam you!!!" as if people still believe the AAA gaming industry is trust worthy to listen to. |

Releasing a nex gen console will only accelerate the downturn in console gaming purchases. Some franchises will do fine (CoD) but the changes that would come with nex gen consoles are almost certain to be extremely anti consumer no matter what direction they take. Without a killer app for the Wii U I'd expect that to flounder like the 3ds and vita have. Nintendo could still come up with something but at this point the Wii was already showing Wii Sports (I believe) and that really is the main reason why that system did so well.
Still can't understand why my little 10 year old niece loves playing tennis on that. Even one player where you hit it off the wall, loves it. Heck keeping the system backwards compatible so that someone can simply play a prettier looking Wii sports might be enough to keep that system on life support...if not selling well. |

I would not be surprised if MS (and Sony) deliberately set the cert process timeline longer just to give an easy excuse to devs and pubs because the public obviously hates this day one dlc practice.
Same excuse that ME3 devs used. It was after we finished the game, it doesn't count cause we made it after. (audio, video, art files found all over the place proving they'd worked on this heavily before cert started)
Keep it up AAA gaming industry! You're customers love you! You can do no wrong! |

It's very confusing how someone can be making a Shadowrun RPG and someone else is making a Shadowrun MMO...
I'll stick with the RPG. |

| Free to try sounds good to me. We'll have to see how much they hold players back who don't pay. I enjoy paying for something I like a lot more than paying to try. (current status quo is pay $60 to try and hope you feel good about it) |

The sheer GALL of IGN to question Metacritic is fucking astounding. The existence of metacritic isn't ruining the game industry, IGN, it's fucking shitholes like your own websites that will sell review scores for more advertising dollars.

This. Had to LOL just reading the question posed by IGN. It's like...fuck it, not even worth coming up with an Analogy.
Sites like IGN are marketing, no shades of gray, they're just simply part of marketing a game. |

Having not watched the videos or really seen anything related the MoH I had a bad feeling about things when that bit about BF4 beta being attached to this games $70 version.
Really shitty way to treat your customers. Would make perfect sense to give BF4 access to the people buying the DLC pass/pack thing. Attaching to this other game at the $70 price point is a terrible way to reward people who are already paying a premium for your content.
(I'm guessing many people already have strike at karkland, no discount for them, same price as people who don't on premium pass. I think?) |

That’s what I was trying to relay across Cutter, I’m all for Kickstarter too but not when a developer is purposely trying to put the burden on the consumer and not pull it from their own pockets. To me that’s BS. You sometimes get the feeling these guys are only trying to line their own pockets.
I guess I'm taking for granted that people understand how much publishers are already doing this.
What are we assuming AAA titles currently cost to make, 20 million? 30 million? And we're looking for sales of 1,000,000 just to break even?
That's $20 - $30 per game if you only sell a million copies. Where are our $20-$30 games? All I see are $60-$80 games.
Are you just ignoring how much worse publishers are by comparison? I don't get it. Where is the upside to doing things that cost consumers 3x-4x more? The industry is at war with itself because there isn't enough money to go around.
There is more than enough money to go around, just not enough to line the pockets of the greedy fucks at the publishers. |

I feel it is a problem. Kickstarter is (to my knowledge) supposed to help finance those who have tried and couldn't get financed, a last choice option. Now bigger players are seeing it a a first choice because they don't have to pay back loans so they can maximize profits. Kinda like taking from the poor to help the rich
I'm sure kickstarter could be more strict so that the "the pitch" can't involve stuff that has been successful in the past but I don't see how that makes the whole process stronger.
We're already seeing developers make games that fans love and Publishers still treat them like it doesn't matter because now the new target is this other type of game where they think they can make a gajillion dollars because someone else just did! (See epic and Fortnite trying to jump on the minecraft train)
I like to think that the developer behind Fallout New Vegas would not be struggling to figure out how to "do a better job" on their next game if they were not stuck behind the scam artists that are modern publishers.
I think the fans would come running if those guys had delivered on FO New Vegas from a crowd sourced project and were now trying to see if fans wanted more.
It's going to be some time before we see a franchise that strong being crowd funded but it could happen. Kickstarter projects need time to build. Imagine if wasteland 2 is a runaway hit. Or shadowrun. That could put them on a much larger footing when they come forward and say, "Who's up for Wasteland 3?" What if the first game has been on the front page of steam for weeks at that point and suddenly funding starts growing to 10 to 20 million. These are not hard numbers to reach at all when you look at how many people are funding the projects already hitting 2-3 million. Doublefine only has 88k backers. Wasteland 2 only has 62k backers.
If they sell a million units how hard will it be to get 500k backers? 5-10x current funding numbers would likely be possible if they had a big hit off this first project.
The biggest issue we're going to face is publishers trying to buyout the stuff that gets successful. When these guys see that the first game sold a million copies they're going to come running with money trying to get the devs to sellout and then they'll charge as much as they can get for the next game.
You're looking in the wrong direction if you think devs are going to start abusing people. Publishers have written the book on how to do that. They're going to try and buy out these games as they get close to launch and say "ha ha, fuck you! PAY US." |

If they reactivate the $20 tier, I'll bite.
I think they should leave that tier open until they fully fund. Once fully funded anyone else who wants in loses that special pricing. There were like 40 spots left when I jumped in and I don't think it'd been up that long. |

This doesn't sound like some small Indie company that would be hard pressed to find funding or have issues with balancing a budget nicely
Sounds a lot like Doublefine. They have projects running on the more traditional fronts and are considering this option for a project in the future.
People keep pointing this out like it's an obvious problem...when it's not. Game development is funded by someone. If users want to step up and be that someone and the company continues to deliver then I see it as a positive. |
