[QUOTE="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos, post: 8929762, member: 16668"] Wow... I remember visiting the Antwerp zoo (right downtown, next to the train station...). The gorilla there... super intimidating. His head looked like it was quadruple the size of a human adult's. His chest was the size of a major appliance. Our eyes locked. It was chilling. He appeared outwardly serene, but his eyes told a different story. Dude wanted to be back in the jungle (which is where he should have been... I find zoos a bit dark). If he was outside of that cage... woe betide anyone between him and his destination. A corporation (or any company really... even your favourite 3PP) in a capitalist environment is trying to maximise profits. They may do this ethically (good) or unethically (bad). At no point, though, is this about you, personally. No one is tricking or disrespecting you as an individual. Attaching that sort of emotion to what is essentially a machine is not productive. True. Same point as above, really. You lost me here. Video gamers aren't happy with season passes? A discounted set of a game's DLC? You're going to have to do some fast talking to make this make sense. Maybe if the DLC was all sub par. But any game studio that gets into this mode is going to lose its customer base pretty quickly. Do you have any specific examples? Yup. Your point? Why would they? The resources a game studio spends on a so-called AAA game I would think have a much bigger return on investment than building a VTT. Especially if there are already VTT competitors in the fray.
