It's a blog. Cool. They make market assumptions that more games will sell at a cheaper rate. There's nothing to guarantee that. One guy's argument predicting the future doesn't make a point.

No, it's an article, and it's Forbes. You keep throwing the word assumption around, I don't think you know what it means, considering the entire article is based on statistical research. :melo:

Sounds like an incredible game.

Probably top #3 in the whole cycle. Haven't beat through a game in 3 days in years.

Yeah and who does Patcher work for again? He must be always accurate.

32 man league....usually 2-3 games per week have a scheduling conflict where people can't play. Now you never have to worry about the 10 people that have the game because they can play whenever they feel like it. That leaves 16-18 teams or 8-9 games, on average, to be played in a 3-4 day span on a 2x per week advance. That means 1-2 games need to be played a night from a shared library. You're telling me 1-2 games games can't be played from 10 shared accounts? If you can't do that, it's pathetic.

Good luck in your draft. Good luck that nobody needs to reschedule or run late for their "timeslot" to play for free.

You forgot to answer how EA and dev costs aren't harmed by your plans here.


I'm arguing with two people, one saying "used games going away will make devs more money" the other saying "we're going to buy less of their games and free share, you're retarded if you don't see how"


Amazing.

So great there was no need to keep it after 3 days. Sounds like the kind of game that would of been perfect for the game sharing scenario. They basically wanted to do something similar to what everyone on PS3 was doing with game sharing, but with restrictions.

So I share it with other people and am out $60, but you get it for free so...yay?

Oh but you'll share a game with me, so we splits on them and I'm just out $30....yay?

Oh but devs will make more money....right?

EA came out and said they were making the draft functional on the website, especially for this feature. It could have been done with solid communication, like people told you days ago.

Why not split it for $30 and then go sell it just like you did (which I still hold as a lie). MS did not restrict that.

You ever used one of the many versions of an EA Madden website? Sounds like it.

Yes I have. Surely people with the free game will have a right to complain!

 

[killgod]

Nothing was ever final, clearly, even with this sharing plan. Dev's still need your money, they won't get that money by keeping it in your pocket.

If EA drops 3M copies of Madden on each console, at $60, and we'll assume they get $40.

They get $120M from PS4.

Where does $120M from Xbone come from, if they don't sell 3M copies? If half the people share it. Where's the $60M?

Let me know how the draft goes. Can't wait.

Where does that money go now for PS3 users?

Try answering the question.

Try answering the question.

It goes to the same place it goes for current PS3 users who have a very similar feature.

I'm asking you where the revenue comes from, you're telling me where something goes?

Whatever man.

 

[Primetime]

Better?

 

[killgod]

That revenue comes from Gen-3, I'm showing a loss in Gen-4 Xbone due to family plan, of where I'm showing a loss in revenue is should this system be active. What the fuck is wrong with your brain to make that response?
