Based on what?
Sports broadcasts going the same way, soon!
Oww my balls
But it has electrolytes.
No it won’t
The problem with that is there’s 2 types of gamers. Mass games, and fan gamers.
​
Mass gamers basicely just play whatever and don’t question. Madden, nhl, call of duty, whatever seems popular, they’ll play 1-2 of those and that’s about it.
​
Those tend not to care about most details, they just want to play.
​
Then there’s the fan gamers, who’ll focus on companies they like, and build a certain loyalty over time to different things. Fan gamers will easily spend hundreds of dollars on games they like, and continue doing that for years.
​
Exemple of this would be europa franchise. A lot of people complain about the dlc policies of it. Most fans don’t care, and have been, and will continue to, buy every dlc as they come out. Why ? because it’s the only game in it’s style, and it has a quality. Yes, it’s buggy, but patches are usualy fast and solid.
​
If they started putting ads in the games tho? they would lose more or less all their fans instantly. That type of game wouldn’t exist without a loyal following.
​
You’ll always find people willing to play mario, or call of duty, even wiht ads sprinkled in there.
​
But you won’t ever build a loyal fanbase with that method. Some games need it to exists.
​
Another exemple of companies failing to understand this would be castlevania.
Great franchise, but never top sellers. Then they tried to cash in on the names and abandon their fans. Lord of shadows.
​
New player liked it, but they basicely burned bridges with their previous fans. Lord of shadow 2 comes out? it’s kinda meh. Boom, whole franchise crashed and burned. Why? because they had no loyalty, no respect, no quality assurance. Why would castlevania fans buy lord of shadow 2? it’s not a castlevania game. It’s just borrowing the name. Now franchise is basicely dead because konami thinks theres no market for it anymore.
​
And yet, every year, dozens of amazing metroidvania come out, showing the market is still there.
​
In the wise (sometimes) words of jim sterling, Companies don’t want to make money, they want to make ALL the money.
Nah, having the ads just around the perimeter like that makes them too easy to ignore. Ads will be inline in the games so you at least look at them for a second before realizing it’s an ad, just like they are on Reddit.
Go away…’baitin!
The day they do this is the day I sail the seas again with the black flag arrr
The funny thing is ads are so ineffective at getting people to buy the product being advertised. Can’t remember the last time I bought something that I saw an ad for.
This is what Ubisoft games are already like.
Not on PC.
Just get the egg before Nolan Sorrento
