The End Is Near: Ubisoft has started inserting advertisements on the pause menu and map.

Source... Muthafukka read the room aint shyt changed in game design they was gonna raise prices since next gen started...

Price increase for next-gen games is “justified”, says Take-Two CEO

They just fleecing y'all fools outta money believing what they say... and these games are still buggy and broken and Y'all still buying them

Game design? Nikka just the fact that in the time it took a developer to release 3 or 3 games now they can only release one just make it more expensive.

This is why tech companies are pushing VR so hard. They want the ads RIGHT IN YOUR EYES so you can't look away. It's the final evolution of advertising beyond figuring out how to beam ads directly into your dreams when you're sleeping. When smart glasses replace smart phones, don't be shocked if you will have ads in the corner of your eyes and in your face every five minutes unless you pay a monthly premium.

Ironically epic games may have just put a serious battery in the back of indie developers with unreal engine 5. You don't need to build an engine from scratch, you can pay for a license and just use that engine to make a game that looks as good as anything a big studio will put out.

As they continue to burn out developers with terrible working conditions and mediocre products that are the direct result of terrible project management+greed from the ceos, those developers will start their own studios and make games on reasonable timelines that don't have bullshyt like ads in them.

We may be on the cusp of the Golden age of crowdfunded, independent games. It's one of the reasons why I'm hoping baldurs gate 3 sweeps all the goty awards. It sends a message that people care about a quality product more than quantity.

I mean, I expect a company to advertise their products as long as it isn’t invasive or disrupts the content.

I just wonder WHAT all this level of advertising really produces in terms of quality products.

I never been tricked into buying something for my entertainment, usually I’m aware if I want something or not or if I like it enough to want to spend money on it.

Ubisoft better hurry up with my goddamn Division Heartlands game though.

 

[Slow Moving]

Atleast is there game those bozos on 2k have Jake from state farm commercials on half time

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Gamers continue to buy Ubisoft games, what's the problem?

I wouldn't be surprised if Madden, 2K and MLB spent more money on marketing than development.

Bruh he isn’t wrong. In 1994 you could make a game with 5 people that went head to head with the largest game manufacturers out there. You could do that up until mid PS2, that’s when it started to become cost prohibitive to make games you weren’t sure could sell. Hence today pretty much all A and AA games are indies that use touched up NES to PS2 level graphics.

Today in the major market there are like 10 developers owned by 5 publishers. This shyt is not sustainable.

That being said, it does not justify ads going to the pause menu or the map.

The exclusive license for madden cost hundreds of millions. Then u factor employees and advertising. Madden is down big before they sell one copy

 

[Kurt off them percs]

Ubisoft been having ads in their game since Rainbow Six Vegas

 

[old pig]

this is a gross miscarriage of justice!

And yet each iteration of the same game makes millions and their negligible difference even on the current gen systems... that money going somewhere and it's not to develop the game.

I hate madden but im not gon say that. EA waste millions on BS features they drop after a year or 2.
