7:08 PMSeiruff​dg

7:09 PMSeiruff​HE SAID HELLO SO ME

7:09 PMeathdemon​prey isnt for everyone its a imersive sim. its about learning how to bend systems to your advantage

7:09 PMSeiruff​AND SAID MY NAME RIGHT

7:10 PMeathdemon​polygon pointed out that they have to be agressive becouse of how us trademark law works sadly

7:14 PM13Ucube​Did McDonald’s tm the Big Mac? Could they have sued Nintendo for using little Mac in Mike Tysons punchout for confusion?

7:16 PMGFY AH​Lazy people

7:16 PMjordan thompson​game developers today : l™ and™ (cause logic)

7:20 PMeathdemon​switch tax. carts are not cheap

7:20 PMeathdemon​retailers dont like it when digital is cheaper sadly

7:21 PMjordan thompson​to get a chip to taste that nasty takes talent = talent not cheap

7:21 PMeathdemon​I am not joking if a major publisher try that gamestop/wallmart wouldnt carry the game

7:21 PMScottyJayMan​Australia only had 1 tax, the GST

7:23 PMjordan thompson​Australia, games cost more and ultra censored I don’t see how the PAL regions survived this long

7:23 PMGFY AH​Is Gamestop still in businss?

7:23 PMeathdemon​I havent bought a physcal game in years, but I am pc, and last time I did it was with amazon becouse I hate gamestops marketing

7:24 PMScottyJayMan​Getting game from US eshop would be more expensive

7:24 PMeathdemon​yes, but they wont survive more than a few years

7:24 PMScottyJayMan​AUS eshop cost includes gst tax, us eshop doesn’t

7:26 PMjordan thompson​gameco anyone

7:26 PMeathdemon​they lost 43 million on hitman though, so I dont blame square

7:28 PMjordan thompson​I remember a Hitman game did a ad deal with version and had a secret product reveal for version hidden in the game

7:28 PMCalGore94​Doesnt help final fantasy 15 took 10 years and didnt even sell that much

7:28 PMeathdemon​pc version only sold 615k and thats eposode 1 which is only 15 bucks

7:29 PMGFY AH​Let’s hope Final Fantasy 7 remake is good

7:30 PMeathdemon​hitman was a immersive sim. that most likely cost 60 to 80 mil to make

7:31 PMeathdemon​if they sold the first epasode for 15, meaning they get 10. I could see not turningg a profit

7:31 PMjordan thompson​my mom’s been working for the product development team for version since the 90s I got to test all the prototypes, I gotta play with the TV phone before it was showcased in the iron Man film

7:31 PMCalGore94​Such a shame the new deus ex was such an amazing game, we most likely wont get a sequel for a awhile

7:32 PMjordan thompson​I meant Verizon

7:36 PMeathdemon​if cod doesnt do as well as last year, which was down 50%, I could see cod going away. overwatch has 30mil+ and owned by the same company

7:37 PMeathdemon​alan wake came out before digital was big on consoles. they werent expecting to sell it this long after release

7:43 PMeathdemon​it wont be lost, the coppy is staying on steam

7:44 PM13Ucube​whats the difference between the 2.99 and 3.99 franchise?

7:44 PMjordan thompson​Alan wake : limited deaf edition

7:48 PM13Ucube​BTW. ebay auctions suckkkk

7:48 PMeathdemon​crazer thing have happened andrew

7:49 PMjordan thompson​I’m guessing​ it’s a survival horror with a camera function, those aren’t to common to Western society though in Japanese they’re are very popular

7:49 PMGFY AH​Luigi’s mansion is great 13Ucube

7:49 PM13Ucube​it seems pretty cool. i like dark moon

7:55 PM13Ucube​Headline: Andrew’s Clout ruins Anime

8:01 PMeathdemon​idn if your paid to review games, you better give a good reason for not finishing it
