Molehill Mountain Episode 70 – DLC You In Hell

Sorry I’m so late posting this but I spent all week editing a new YouTube video.  Anyway, in this episode (the title of which I’m immature enough to be super proud of!) we discuss the evils of DLC in all its most insidious forms from microtransactions to loot boxes.

42:15 – IGN buys Humble Bundle. Conflict of interest?

54:15 – The EVILS of DLC!!!

1:39:05 – The ESRB says loot boxes aren’t gambling

7:48 PMeathdemonI do not have high hopes for this sadly. buy outs almost never end well

7:52 PMeathdemonps this isnt ign’s first go at this. direct2drive was ign owned, and it failed, so

7:53 PMeathdemonfox used to own ign

7:53 PMeathdemonnewscorp to be exact

8:00 PMeathdemonmost aceptable fore me is cosmetics, than cosmetic loot boxs for mp only

8:00 PMeathdemonacceptable

8:00 PMeathdemonfor

8:01 PMeathdemonleast acceptable p2w dlc in mp

8:03 PMSeakkenned​[message retracted]

8:04 PMeathdemonnot if you listen to the esrb lol

8:04 PMSeakkennedThe Witcher III is an example of good dlc,that was like getting a whole new game.

8:04 PMAndrew EisenYeah, we’ll talk about that in a bit.

8:05 PMGasKanOnFiremartio kart 8 wiiu was pretty good

8:08 PMSeakkennedEvery game now has three different versions you can buy now,$60,$100 and $120 steel book editions.

8:10 PMGasKanOnFiremmmmm. The good old days of horse armor. XD

8:10 PMFreaKillBuying potions sounds like buying cheatcodes.

8:16 PMSeakkennedThe Champions Ballad

8:17 PMGasKanOnFiretotally bought it.

8:20 PMSeakkennedSo does Shadow of War,the GameStop guy was really trying hard to get me to buy it.

8:23 PMGasKanOnFireBaseball cards. The original loot box.

8:25 PMeathdemonI am ok wit cosmetic loot boxs

8:25 PMFreaKillAnd if you didn’t like the cards you can sell them, since they’re actual things that you own.

8:25 PMeathdemonwith

8:26 PMeathdemonoverwatch style

8:26 PMeathdemonyup ow is 100% looks

8:27 PMeathdemonbetter than selling maps/heroes and breaking apart your playerbase

8:27 PMeathdemonfor overwatch

8:35 PMeathdemondid you see the skullgirls dlc kickstarter from a few years back. adding 1 fighter costs way more than you think

8:37 PMeathdemonit isnt just making 1 figher, its rebalance all other fights around it

8:38 PMeathdemonyour forgeting less than 20% buy dlc. if 100% bought dlc you would be right andrew

8:41 PMGreen KeeI want ur voice to rock me to sleep

8:42 PMeathdemonthats thing, fr the most part it isnt price. the vas majority doesnt care about buying dlc at all regardless of price

8:47 PMeathdemonall games with them should just be taged as having lootboxs

8:48 PMeathdemon“games contains random lootboxs”

8:48 PMeathdemonfor a good tag idea

8:52 PMeathdemonfeel good news story of the week, cuphead has sold over 1 million coppies

8:53 PMeathdemonyup its gun star heroes. its also on steam

8:53 PMeathdemonand runs on a toaster

8:53 PMeathdemonits 3 hits and your dead

8:55 PMeathdemonthe soundtrack of cuphead it amazing by the way

8:55 PMeathdemonfor real go listen to it

8:55 PMSeakkennedI’ve only beat Contra III

8:57 PMFreaKillSo I’ve looked into Skullgirls DLC and the new characters come at 2 bucks apiece. The kickstarter was about them coming out at all and not the eventual price that customers have pay.

8:57 PMGasKanOnFirekonami code? i dont need no konami code. . . . i got game genie!

8:58 PMFreaKillAnd according to wikipedia the characters were free for three months when they came out.

8:58 PMAndrew EisenInteresting. I’ll have to read up on that later.

8:59 PMAndrew EisenLove the art in that game!
