This is nothing new, and publishers/developers have not learnt any lessons.

Some people will remember back when Half-Life 2/TF2 was released, it required a Steam account to be activated (which incidentally, coincided with the release of Steam platform). This caused a lot of displeasure from gamers who were used to just punching in the CD Key, installing the game, and away they went.

This was a hotly anticipated game at the time.

"What if servers are down? How do I play?", they asked.

"You can still play offline - it only requires a single log-in to activate", said Valve.

Of course, the day of release, the Steam servers were overloaded, and people who purchased the game were unable to activate it, and therefor play it.

I didn't get to play my new copy of HL2 for TWO DAYS because the servers were down.

In '89 i was falsely accused of rape, then days later was beaten by vigilante's until i had multiple severe head injuries. The system ( cops, judges, community, family ) in NZ called them the heroes and me the monster. I was an adolescent male so did not give up on life, but within 5 years the brain damage and trauma had broken me. The closest thing i ever will have to justice is seeing the country that did this to me starting to die. And its happening - at long last!

What the fuck? New Zealand is dying?

Yeh, last I looked it seemed pretty alive. All things considered with the world.

"What the publishers really want is protectionist capitalism."

You're thinking of large publishers - like EA or Origin. You even used a sly reference to them later on. What is being discussed here is smaller indie developers.

It's like going to your local craft market, buying bulk in discount (and I use that term loosely)...or stealing if they're not looking...a creator's wares, then undercutting the original maker by selling them in your own mall for a fraction of the original purchase price.

"However, outside of accusations, I don't see any provable evidence being supplied. I see a lot of whining from publishers, though."

You only need to do a quick Google search to see that a lot of this happened in the past with G2A.

Having been burned by G2A myself, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.

And the kids have already moved on to Apex for the next few months before they move on to the next big free multiplayer drug. If you base the success of your game on catering to ADHS kids, you should expect to not be long in business.

PUBG still has its fans, though, but its big days are over and won't come back.

Except PUBG isn't free to play and was a multi-million dollar windfall for developers in just its Beta form.
