Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'

@thefourfoldroot since you are usually quite sensible, I do need to point out to you that if developers took many risks to make different games, people will claim the same thing that they are saying in these posts above.

"we have no idea about the game! How do we know if we are going to love your game?"

There are times when developers simply do not want to take the risk because of thst very reason.

Why change the recipe if the final product keeps selling?

Tricky but both sides are quite valid and it is tough to find a common ground between the 2.

Not many developers can pull it off and then there is a factor of people's bias in favour or against a developer.

Last but not least, people keep crying over how "...rather buy games, and not rent from game pass" but doesn't it solve that very issue every one keeps moaning over?

You play the game. You like it? Buy it. Don't like it? Well continue trying another game.

But when it comes to game pass, narrative changes rather quickly around here. Every one is suddenly willing to pay 70 bucks for every game and no one is looking for any discounts.

I am literally just looking at people in here who are talking about their wallets and their choice on how they want to spend their money... While not wanting to support a developer unless game is half priced.

As far as bugs go, I am unsure how old people are in here but I can't remember name of games very well that released without bugs and glitches back in 1980s and 1990s.

I mean as a joke, we used to call em features. Because they extended the play time of a game by a significant margin. A glitch happens, and people lost progress, we used to start over. But now every one wants these perfect crafted games! Demanding every developer to spend ***** tonne of money on QA, WHILE not wanting to buy games at full price.

At the end of the day, yes half priced games are supporting developers, but you are cutting the budget for things like sequels and their potential QA costs when you decide to buy things for half price.

It doesn't justify cyberpunk like situations where developers had absolutely messed up on QA. But games like days gone shouldn't have been treated like 3rd rate commodity.

At the very least, game should have been priced around 50$ to begin one to attract sales.

At the end of the day, game pass makes sense to me for this very reason. I can try games without worrying about spending money up front. If I like it, I buy it full priced.

Regardless of harsh words used by developer in his interview, he has a legit point.

People just get too caught up with "I do things my own way" crap when his point is still valid, regardless of its bitter surface.

People need to grow the ***** up and stop behaving like its end of world when someone speaks out of frustration.

Understand the underlying problem, discuss it, and move on. No one is asking you to lick their boots.

Comments I have read here just boggled my mind.
