http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=197181Quote“Activision didn’t expect much from Wii U sales of Black Ops 2, but they
sure didn’t expect it to be that abysmal. Activision gave Wii U owners the best
version of Blops 2 with Off TV features, and Nintendo fans didn’t support it.
It’s easy for Nintendo fans to trash publishers for not giving them ports, but
publishers have wisened up. They realize Nintendo fans are all talk. Nintendo
fans are vocal with their mouths, but when it’s time to open their wallets,
they’ll spend that $60 on New Super Mario Bros instead.”
1. The source of this is the first post of a random wordpress blog.
2. WTF does this have to do with Cliffy B. Also, his a port of a last gen game to a new console and no one buys a new console for a game they can get on old consoles.
Now about the actual post.
Cliffy B. has been working in the industry too long to not believe its trends are the way things must go. He worked at Epic where their games were just the advertising for their engine.
The dude is too deep into the industry to have any sort of objective opinion. His defense of Origin being **** is that Steam was **** 7 YEARS AGO.
Its also funny how he says "the average guy that buys Madden and GTA every year".besides the fact that it entirely ignores the Wii userbase by describing everyone who buys games as dudebros yet he doesn't realize that most everyone who gets involved in f2p DOESN'T BUY THINGS. F2p cares about the "whales", or the very few people that spend a **** load of money on worthless crap. F2p games don't give a **** about the random guy who might play it, they care about the small, small minority that spends hundreds of dollars on the game.
Also
No one will ever buy a game new again, everyone will just buy it used.QuoteRemember, if everyone bought their games used there would be no more games.Mind. Blown.
