Ubisoft on Loot Boxes: Players “Need to Feel That They Are Really Free Not to Buy;

>Martinez mentioned during the prepared remarks that live services continue to drive “strong engagement” and digital performance. For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, Ubisoft’s monthly active users excluding mobile were up 34% year-on-year. Player recurring investment (PRI) was up 87% year-on-year to 319 million Euros. Digital sales and PRI represented respectively 56% and 27% of total revenue, up from last year’s 47% and 21%. Digital distribution for AAA titles was 55% of total units, up from 48% last year.

That's okay, because everyone complaining about assassin's creed is a racist bigon white washer. Now please give us money to support anti-racist game development.

is it a good time to sell my EA stock?

Can't wait until we find those chink aircraft carriers out in the Pacific running bot farms for these corporate marxists.

That seems like one step away from pretending loot boxes are free to buy when they actually aren't

Wait until the cancer has fully metastasized and the patient dies.

but i will not have a profit by then.

They don't even understand video games, just look at Far Cry. Notice how people would rather have another Blood Dragon than a Far Cry 3 clone. What do they do when it's time to do a spin off? Make a fucking caveman game. They don't get that people prefered the vastly better gameplay of Blood Dragon when compared to 3. The 80's aesthetic was cool, although it's not what grabbed people. This is what Ubisoft fails to understand.

Then it is time

Wait until they announce another big title that will be an expected failure.
Just as the paid hype is at it's highest, sell everything. Watch as the stock plummets afterwards.

You don't deserve any profits if you unironically buy EA stocks.

t. poorfag

it only plummeted the other day because of the whole gambling drama.

Post yfw you'll live to see video games die

be nice to ubisoft or they will dox you and your family

These faggots are so out of touch, reminds me of EA profit report they've made blaming devs for their shit games getting backlash from the lootbox gambling issue a few months ago

are they out of touch or are we? corporate kikes seem to know exactly what they're doing to successfully monetize modern gaming by throatfucking dudebro gamers with lootboxes.

We really are doomed.

These kikes know exactly what how they expect to make money.
They're banking entirely on it.
Almost all vices make all their money off the 2%-10% heavy addict/whale.

i think you mean children, cucks, and minorities

Madden, FIFA, and Jigaboo Jam 2K18 say hello.
EA could lose money on every single title they produce and still stay in the green with FIFA's lootboxes.

It's for the best

This is what will happen.

Games are going to be designed with micro-transactions but made longer so that the player will have more incentive to pay. This tactic is the Time Tactic. The more you have people hooked on your game the more chances you have that they will make a purchase. So games will be padded with even more bullshit to elongate the time. The more your game holds the attention of a player, the more chances you have he/she will pay for some skin, etc, before diverting their attention to a different game from a different company (lost revenue).

There is a reason Siege has the price that it has, it has taken some points from CS:GO. Lower the price of the base game to an enticing point. Then, have micro-transaction but trick people into thinking they have a choice. After a while and after enjoyment of the game ramps up, eventually the dopamine will hit and you will want to get that sweet skin for your favorite soldier. This also plays in part to having the soldiers/humans/heroes have personality and lore, it's more likely that you become attached/ can invest in them because now they have a personality that you like. You are now hooked and indirectly paying for micro-transaction.

Another effect is playing with friends. Your brain plays tricks on you, seeing your friends have fun, you also want to have fun, while in the group you think you are having fun but it's artificial because you are in their frame. You see your friend having fun and they buy skins, etc, and that also indirectly influences you to also think you will have the same amount of enjoyment as them by buying the skin/wanting to be at their level.


When will this decline end.

They're by far the most incompetent retards on the planet ran by dumb SJW dildos who can't even keep a game running properly.

They bought out some sort of popular children's mobile game and before long their entire admin got l33th4x0red and the game's forums were breached.

Not only is Ubisoft Jewish as fuck, they're also retarded and I wouldn't be surprised if their pisspoor security is true for the other games they own.

Hit the nail on the head perfectly. Hence why there's an incentive to buy out or make shitty but popular games for the fucking 'mobile market'.

It's a huge fucking cashcow, for instance, Ubisoft buys some generic MMO building game made by two obscure indie devs and using the popularity the game already had they insert a ton of cashgrabbing micro transactions.
The 'length' of the game as you mentioned is in years not hours when it comes to MMOs, providing there's enough grindy content for a bunch of heavy paying dimwitted normies to invest their money in for more cosmetics or more of the same grindy content… This shit pays for itself.

I put in like a total of $50 on an MMORPG back in the day because I liked the game and wanted it to do well, to me that's suitable enough for all the shitting hours of mindless low IQ entertainment that I got out of it… But comparing that to what I'm seeing now where someone will splash out a good 20 bucks or more on a fucking bunch of fancy looking pixels only to do the exact same thing as soon as their friends do it, constantly being pressured via paywalls and flashy buttons. There's not even any content in it but it's still making many shekels.

Come to think of it, the general audience for said mobile games are either normie Facebook dwellers or just children.
Now that I think of it, children are easy prey for a company like Ubisoft.

Silly question.
If there are loot boxes in a game and there is absolutely no way to buy them with physical currency.
is this acceptable?

What, like what lootboxes used to be in RPGs and shit where you may find a locked box then would have to go on a quest or craft or just buy the key using ingame currency.

…Providing said ingame currency isn't a 'premium' or otherwise paid with real money sort of currency then I can't see why not… Shame how shit like paying for lootboxes is seen as the norm though, it's fucking gay how like 15 years ago or so something like 'DLC' was called an expansion and added a bunch of content and was really worth the 10 bucks you put into it… Now 'DLC' consists of a gay skin and maybe if you're lucky a goofy hat and a gun

Depends on the content of the lootbox and how much of a grind it is.
If the content is indispensable or a must for endgame then there's no reason for it to be in a lootbox other than to extend the playtime in an incredibly cheap way

True, all of this but spending money to do shit with friends isn't anything bad or anything new. You'd either go hunting with them which costs money, drink together which also costs money and so on.

Another thing is Siege is actually a good game. What is the difference between playing 3 games, 100h each, buying each one for about 40$ and playing one game for 300h and spending equivalent money on base game + microtransactions or dlc?

I don't mind paying additional cash if i'm having fun in the game (this however does not equal dumping shitload of money into one game in order to make it fun, i dont find such games fun and therefore i do not play them).

One more thing, even normies start to realize how shitty some microtransactions are, this probably wont stay afloat. They can't go further after this star wars B2 shit EA pulled, normies freaked out about this and the game sales sucked ass. Good luck trying to implement even worse system and trying to pass it under people's noses

No, they're the ones out of touch because they don't see, or at least it doesn't seems, how exploiting both adults and kids for the sake of making money. This is why kids aren't allowed in casinos, because they psyche is still developing and having contact with something so venomous as gambling or "luck" games in general, turning them into complete addicts without even noticing, worst part is that adults instead of fucking fighting against this shit they side with them because muh diversity or stupid shit like that.

Depends on the RNG involved. Take, for instance, chests in Recettear, where you have to walk through a shitty dungeon with minimal variations and obnoxious fucking enemies for an hour or so in order to get 5 or so chests, each of which has a 1% chance to drop that one piece of shit to get 100% item completion.

This is not okay.

Dissida NT has these weird little chests that you get sometimes after you win a battle that has either a Skin, a Weapon skin, Music, or a Stage

When people spend more time playing a single game they will inevitably spend less money on new games. In the end the industry will see short term profit but long term losses.

It ends with government regulation user.

When a certain legal ruling is thrown into the trash where it belongs:
casebriefs.com/blog/law/corporations/corporations-keyed-to-klein/the-nature-of-the-corporation/dodge-v-ford-motor-co/
In order to make this a reality, a (((certain race))) may also need to be thrown into the trash where it belongs.

Never, since you’re too lazy and scared to get off your fat ass and kill jews. You know what the problem is, you know who’s responsible for the problem, you know the ideological reasoning they’re using to cause the problem, and you also know how to fix the problem.

You just won’t do it. So enjoy your mandatory paid tranny character DLC and paying one cent per nerf dart you fire in your competitive “shooter” games, because ten years from now that’s all there will be left.

idgaf what Ubi does with their games, not like i buy them anyway

every time

They're glad to see their own slaughtered. They can make martyrs of niggers like Trayvon Martin; easier still for the "historically oppressed jews". Any of them that could feasibly be killed by a single individual are low-tier scrubs; killing them would be doing the kikes a favor.
Besides, the life of one who recognizes the enemy of civilization is important. Better to attack the entire race; chip away at the image that protects them. The second the masses turn against them is the second their fate is sealed. THEN it'd be time to start hunting them down; exterminate them down to the last woman and child to make sure they're unable to start over again and cause worse disasters in the future.

Yes, but that won’t happen.

I agree. Gamers should feel that Ubisoft's games are really free not to buy.

People with standards aren't the target demographic of AAA games anymore. They've realized they can shit out something mediocre, give it a bunch of fancy graphics, market the shit out of it and load it up with DLC, Season Passes and Microtransactions to suck up as much money as they can for the witless morons who still buy it.

Nothing you can really do about it, not until people move on to the next fad.

The magic is in the memes, user. As the Fuhrer declared, "We will become he master of public opinion, not be shaped by public opinion", or something to that effect. With the internet, we fight the international Hydra in every corner of the earth. No where to hide, this world will know of Jewish lies and murders.

You're kidding, right?

Primal has likely made more money than Blood Dragon, based on Steam sales. Blood Dragon has sold about 250% the amount of units as Primal, but at 30% of the price. So in terms of metrics that matter, consumers went for the caveman ooga booga game.

Where do people get the money to spend on loot boxes? Is this all streamer money? Welfarebux? Mommy's credit card? Minwage jobs? I really want to understand what kind of income is had by the kinds of people who think spending money on these is acceptable.

If you're endorsing government regulation: Kill yourself, Communist.
If you think government regulation is inevitable so we should just expect it and accept it: Kill yourself, Communist.
If you're just being a pessimistic cunt: Stop that.

Yeah, but what are you actually doing? We have the US government now publicly releasing documents that prove the previous administration committed both treason and sedition against the people of this country and not only is not a single one of them being arrested for this, not a single person is standing on the National Mall with their guns demanding executions.

No one is doing anything. No one ever will. An entire century has gone by and they’ve let this happen.

On the smaller scale, Holla Forums has been awaiting “the next crash” for years now. It’s not going to happen. Video games as an industry are now a propaganda tool, just as talmudvision, jewspaper, and israeldio are. The industry can now officially operate at a loss, like the others, because it’s subsidized by other industries’ profits. The point isn’t to make money with the media. It’s to control all narratives, everywhere. The “gamification of education” relies on the sterilization of gaming. Slowly, inexorably, anything that goes against the narrative will stop being published. But since the way to fix this is intimately tied to politics, any discussion of it is ✡banned✡ here. And so we will do nothing, ever, as we always have. Because we can’t.

The average person is $60,000 in debt. The genocide of whites is actually only the secondary reason that the West is flooded with niggers, spics, and dune coons. The primary reason is that our economies would have utterly collapsed 50 years ago if the jews didn’t have all these mathematically retarded third world “refugees” to give loans.

Go an-cap yourself in the temple with a .45, you stupid fucking leftist. Yes, libertarianism is leftism. No, government regulation is necessary for a civilization to exist. I don’t give a shit if it hurts your feelings. It’s fact.

Of course I forgot my image. That’s what happens when a retarded anarchist (excuse the redundancy) makes a new post while you’re writing.

What am I doing? The only thing I can do that won't get me thrown into prison, warning neighbors of the snakes in the grass. Killing the snakes would be easiest, but if I get jail for life because I killed the snake, and the snake is lauded as a martyr because I killed it before it could bite someone, then the second best course of action is warning of neighbors.
And it's working, make no mistake. Jew talk is 1000x more prevalent now than it was, say, 4 years ago.

Only the absolute minimum to maintain a safe country. If you think the government should regulate your media, you are woefully retarded.

If it doesn’t, then the owners of the media regulate the government. Fucking moron.

And you'd rather cement those people in the government, further wasting taxpayer money, only to have them fuck us over in future with retarded regulations they'll make only because they have to justify their jobs.

Always kill the hype.
Always subvert the marketing.
Always make normalfags hate and avoid all products from greedy deformed kikes and their companies.
Lie if you have to.
Anything goes when making companies like Ubishit fail, and flop their products at all costs.

Wow, its like you're unlocking things by playing the game! You know, that mythical practice that games used to have called rewarding the player for playing the game instead of rewarding the player for opening his wallet?

>the only model of government is (((liberal democracy)))
Careful about calling people woefully retarded, as that fits your description more.

Primal also had a fuck huge marketing campaign when compared to Blood Dragon, Blood Dragon likely made more profit I'd argue.

lol

Nice try.

Absolutely wrong. This shit with globalism goes back before the first world war and this shit of mongrelized Europe and NA is due to Kalergi, when our countries were very wealthy.

Hawaii is trying to get laws passed to limit games with lootbox systems in their state to 21+.
archive.is/jal9g
If it begins to get passed in other states as well game companies may decide to no longer use this system.

They'll still do it because they're currently going balls deep in China's government mandated asspussy.

Ironically is a bit hard to find his shit, despite giving the inspiration for the EU.
Sometimes it feels like this Kalergi Plan(mix it up, yo), Agenda 21/30(you dont own nothing) and UBI(everybody is equally paid, cuz i say so) are pieces of the puzzle.
Using vidya for brainwashing is brutal, especially when its used to push a Agendas at the cost of the target grouplike films and series. Its like vidya turned into a bugman simulator, see how far consumerism can go, test loyalty (brand, fanboy, drones, etc) and passivity.

There's a reason why games with heavily mandated metagames and breadline-esque content releases are so forced.

I need to see a source for the last two images.

...

The final one is sourced from the diary of Charles Pinckney, from the proceedings of the Second Constitutional Convention. The jewish response to this quote is that "the diary does not exist" (which should raise a red flag, seeing as they refuse to try to refute the content of the quote itself), and that is easily disproven by the fact that Thomas Jefferson himself writes about Pinckney's diary in HIS OWN MANUSCRIPTS.

The second one "doesn't" talk about jews. The quote is verbatim from Washington, but he is speaking in context about (((currency speculators))). So jews. It's jews. He's not talking about "jews" in the contest of the statement, but he IS talking about jews.

It is much more feasible to simply destroy their race through the same marxist influences they wish to destroy others with. A progressive Israel will destroy the jewish race without having to hope the normalfag will wake up to the truth.

The decline is already happening, the issue is we have a bunch of underage faggots, who's first real experience with the industry happened in 2014 not, years earlier.

So you woe and gloom about a market that's already showing signs of recovering.
Boo Hoo, go jerk of with your tears elsewhere.

One way to do that is to stop advertising loot boxes constantly.

I'm still floored that to open a Destiny 2 lootbox you have to take it to the lootbox store

Pathetic.

No. Same shit.

To paraphrase your question:

It's literally not. It's fundamentally different.

It's fundamentally different because you pay with time to grind that shit, rather than time to earn money to buy that shit. Ironclad logic. Inspect my previously attained pair of repeating numerals.

Oh by the way, all else being equal, unless you're a NEET you make magnitudes more money in the time you grind for a lootbox, than it costs. Don't get the wrong idea, I don't defend lootboxes. In fact, as stated previously, I think all forms of lootboxes are cancer and shouldn't exist.

You're saying that koroks should be illegal, you braindead sack of shit.

Are you really that retarded or just baiting?

Try again, but this time actually read what has been written and also comprehend it. You're acting like a subhuman.

Your argument is little more than "if I can get any amount of lootboxes, then that's ok". Whales can buy any amount of cash lootboxes without putting a dent in their finance, by your retard logic that makes paid lootboxes OK.

And Hitler got fucked and hard. It's time to stop thinking it was because of some nebulous mass network of jews or whatever and realize that it's not human nature to be ruled, but to rebel against those who rule. People aren't fucking dogs, all of us, every single fucking one of us is selfish to some measure, or wants to protect something. Neither of these are compatible with rulers, because rulers take what isn't theirs or puts someone under strains that they won't accept because the nature of rule demands that you do so.


The fact that you're aware of it and are angry means you're not alone. Few people voice their thoughts, but they are not idiots. That is why something like this will be solved, the dystopia you desperately want to be possible will not come to pass.

Wrong. Like with all social animals, it's in human nature to be ruled and respect leadership, but also to strive for being a leader. People don't automatically rebel against their leaders, frankly only a contrarian underage could've produced such idea. Hitler didn't got fucked because nebulous network of jews, he got fucked because concrete Rotshchild network of jews. They told these bankers to fuck off out their country, and like clockwork, few years later they start getting astronomical amounts of shit from every direction, to the point they have no choice but to start a fucking war.

No. Try again, but this time actually read what has been written and also comprehend it. You're acting like a subhuman.

At this point I believe you yourself have no solid idea what your own argument is, only some fuzzy general thoughts. It's evident because you're trying to apply different sets of rules to the same thing based on some inconsequential differences, i.e. you're trying to use double standards. That alone invalidates your whole argumentation; the sole reason I'm even talking to you is because I'm trying to get you to see that your argument is not self consistent.

This is how fucking retarded you actually are.
Quite explicitly defined ones, actually.
No. Try again, but this time actually read what has been written and also comprehend it. You're acting like a subhuman.

Which you never bothered to explicitly define.

Mmm… try again. This time, actually READ THE FIRST REPLY I MADE TO YOU.

Ok.
That's your entire argument. No logical backup, no evidence, no actual argumentation. It's totally different because you say so. That's literally your argument.

No. Try again, but this time actually read what has been written and also comprehend it. You're acting like a subhuman.
This is your argument. NOW TRY TO READ AGAIN.

Yeah OK I see you're a turbosperg and will go any length of deflection to avoid giving any actual arguments as well as to avoid admitting not having any. Have a good night and remember to take your pills every day.

Reported. Thanks for admitting that you are both illiterate and innumerate.

It wouldn't kill you to make an argument ONCE, rather than keep saying "nu-huh, you're wrong".
Ayy.

You're both massive faggots.

I know user, I know. But it can't be helped.

you can change. instead of posting snakes, post snakes in hats. one day at a time

Another reason to attack the source of income: subverting the perceptions of normalfags, so they only see the bad aspects of all entertainment, to the point that they stop being a part of it's consumer base.
For every letdown, many will abandon the segment that caused it, and we can always push for more outrage from that point on, accumulating with the next letdown, until the majority (if not all) of normalfags just adopt the "fuck the entertainment, i'm out" mindset.

feels good man

What's more interesting here is the set of bills in regards to labeling. All games that feature randomized rewards stemming from further payments require a warning label on them.
Whilst that isn't special, the proposed bill also states that any game that does not have the label at the original date of sale is not allowed to add randomized rewards from further payments later. This means that Early Access games, Kickstarter games or games with a long life cycle like F2P or Mobile games cannot later introduce lootboxes if they suddenly attain success.

>when your board is an hugbox where no actual discussion happens so you have to migrate invade other boards to actually get a debate going
You guys are too funny.

And yet, I haven't seen anyone talking about: "Player recurring investment"
This shit actually has a fucking name that they use and mention as a valid economical tactic. The whole idea of having players keep on sinking money into their game is now part of their budget.

The only thing that can be expected from this is more multiplayer titles since that's the easiest way to create something that lasts a lot of time for much less effort than trying to do a singleplayer campaign that takes 80+ hours to complete.
You just look at Uncharted or Last of Us to see a long campaign and all the unique assets that are used for a level and never seen again. Then you compare how long it lasts with Call of Duty for instance, where a single map can last for 100s of hours in a rotation.

Plus, singleplayer market is prey to people cheating so they don't actually feel the need to buy new shit or just hack it in, and it's harder to expose them to what they can buy unlike multiplayer where you see people using the weapons you can buy and wearing the hats you can also buy.
This basically means the death of singleplayer for Ubisoft.

Wouldn't that rule out early access and kickstarter?

That's a hat on a snake.

The original point of sale is when the product is sold, that is, when you pay for it. If I pay fiddy bucks to a kickstarter campaign to get a game "when it's done", then that's the original point of sale.
The same goes for early access. When I buy it, it's the original point of sale. It doesn't matter that it claims to be "released/complete" twenty years down the line. I bought the game without the label, so it is not allowed to later add things that require a label.


Literally every F2P game banks on that and has been around for decades now.
In fact, I'd even argue that F2P games back then were a hell lot more grindy than games are these days.

That aside, you have to understand that removing lootboxes will also take out players willing to invest to a very large degree. The main reason lootboxes are so profitable is because it allows you to sell items for huge prices, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Most people, including whales, can't actually afford that. So instead, companies sell you a chance to get that item. 1USD for a 0.1% chance to get a rare item is easy to market when you obfuscate the drop chance and use all the gambling tricks to make people believe that if they just spend one more dollar they'd get their item.

With lootboxes out of the way, developers are only capable of making bank by either making games extremely grindy or by constantly introducing new things to sell. Whilst both are cancerous just like lootboxes, they are both a lot less prone to getting people addicted.

I've seen a guy arguing before that pretty much every AAA game should be free by now since they tend to favor a F2P economy as well, the entry fee is just bullshit anyway.
I'm actually okay with the idea that a game is released completely free and sustained by some cosmetic market like Path of Exile or Warframe.

It allows for large userbases to join up but clearly puts aside those that paid in a non-intrusive manner, plus instead of having a fixed price for the game, you simply spend how much you think the game is worth and even get a bunch of cosmetics in return. This way you can "buy" a game for 20$ because that's how much you think it's worth while your friend can buy the same game for 40$ because that's what he thinks it's worth and he gets something more as well.

Warframe is also an interesting example where just about everything is available just for playing the game, so if you decide the game is only worth 20$ but you want something else not covered by that price, you can still get it by playing the game instead. It's grindy as fuck but then again, that's just playing the game anyway.

This might be the most sustainable economic strategy in the future: a free game with a cosmetic cashop that players can support with how much they feel like and still get something in return. As long as it's feasible to get all the stuff in the game as well, of course.

It's not sustainable.
The reason why F2P games work is because of whales. The vast majority of the players never spend a dime.
Since the majority of the income comes from a small fraction that buys literally everything, companies have to sell more things to keep the money flowing.

As a result, we get things like TF2 or Dota 2, where the art style progressively becomes shittier as retarded cosmetics are introduced.
Alternatively, we get things like Tribes Ascend, Star Conflict, and many other F2P games where new equipment is released regularly that is objectively better than the shit that came before it; and also takes forever to farm if you're not willing to put down a pile of money.

The only way to make a profit off of a F2P game is to let it ruin itself. It is not a sustainable model.

This here's a prime example of defeatism

But they spend time and populate servers. Whales don't spend money on games where they are alone all the time or matchmaking takes a few hours to get a match going. F2P players still play their role in the economy.
Worse games actually make F2P players have worse equipment\statistics and they become cannon fodder to pad the whale's ego, but that's not that frequent.

You can also focus on bad examples if you wish and there's certainly a lot of them to be found.
Or you can also consider that there are indeed good examples of this happening.
Path of Exile is entirely sustained by the cosmetic cashop, there's no advantage or extra content to buy in it.
Warframe keeps releasing content all the time that you don't actually have to pay for and it's not objectively better. Exception for the Prime Warframes maybe but the difference is extremely minor and since most of the game is PvE, it's not as much of a problem either.

This model does not require lashing art styles nor power creep. It just requires a stream of new content and a good selection of it in the beginning, that's all.

Those extra nostrils really bother me.

Good thing we established that lolbergs aren't people.

Two words: sand box.


Reason behind lootboxes is it is gambling. Plain and simple. It is aimed on 2 categories:
1. People who don't understand probabilities. From the rational point of view there is no sense in playing against casino. It is rigged against you. But there is huge amount of dumb people with IQ below threshold to comprehend probabilities so including probabilistic prices is good way to trigger irrational behavior, these people can't comprehend what is written on the price tag.
2 Smart but edgy people who buy risks for the thrill of it. Soft version of Russian roulette.

Both behaviors are considered social dangerous and area is usually regulated (gambling) but games go under radar.

F2P is version of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination and it works because
Such pricing strategies provide better revenue comparing to fixing price. Ideal pracing is "we take from every customer as much money as he is willing to pay". Advantages of such pricing makes "F2P" model spread inevitable. It brings more money.

Did that. First post. You couldn't comprehend it.

Normalfags are fucking retarded, one of them tried to convince me to go watch the new SJW Wars when it was going to come out, I told him that I wasn't going because of the stupid virtue signaling of the director, IIRC. He told me that he was aware of it, and that he was going to boo the Jedi for that reason.

...
