Vote With Your Wallet And What It Means In Gaming

- In the realm of video games, the phrase "voting with your wallet" carries significant weight, embodying the notion that every purchase holds the power to influence the direction of the gaming industry. From rushed launches to predatory monetization practices and the contentious debate surrounding pre-ordering, consumers are faced with choices that extend beyond mere entertainment. Rushed launches often result in unfinished products, while predatory monetization schemes exploit players' desires for in-game rewards. We're also diving into how pre-ordering can incentivize publishers to prioritize sales over quality. Understanding these dynamics empowers consumers to make informed decisions, shaping an industry that aligns with their values and expectations.
Normally I'm better about looking into the camera - horrific pain levels for a bad MS flareup so this is me just kinda smiling through it lol Thanks for bearing with me fam. And yay! No more auto-moving camera!
Loved this, raised a point I've been struggling with, wanting to praise and support the devs without benefitting the people making the bad decisions. Also felt the vibe on doing things for myself despite the impact. Keep going Liana, will always support 😤🙌🏿
"And please hire me." You kill me. Every day you don't get hired, I lose further respect for the gaming industry. You're insights, humor, you're a goldmine and they're all missing out.
Great insights. It's always good to see information from people who actually know what they're talking about.
If I could provide feedback though, Wayyyy too many meme smash cuts. None were bad on there own, but the sheer volume made the video difficult to watch/listen to.
Appreciate the feedback!
I’m only a couple minutes into the video but I’m commenting so I don’t forget but how much would you say voting with your wallet in the positive sense affects things? Like instead of not preordering or asking for refunds because of something negative, you buy MTX or deluxe editions to reinforce positive studio behavior.
Banger video as always Ms Hippy Maam. Audio's kind of all over the place volume-wise as I had to adjust my slider due to the video being really loud at times. Otherwise, that's the only problem I have.
I feel like it would be so much easier mentality-wise if people understood how much and how long it can take to balance, update, let alone make a game, but I know reality's not like that, and some people just do not want to care about that side of game dev and say their piece no matter how ridiculous some people can be.
Loved the video Hippy/Liana, don't know if your doing your own edits but the inclusion of an Eternal Sunshine clip just *all the high fives/"chef's kiss"* (the others were great too but i'm impartial to ESOTSM). Great points/info & yeah imagine adults acting like adults in 2024. Also glad your doing well/hope you find something more permanent soon! Much 💚
I am! I'm having fun playing around with different vibes, plus that's one of the best movies of all time. Easy win!
@@dirtyeffinhippy That's awesome!/You're doing a great job! & Yes, yes it is!!
I hear you but Destiny 2 has been a case of where I sometimes cannot tell who is a dev at the time of certain decisions. For example, what in the actual FK was Sunsetting and Destiny Content vault? Those things cause so much pain and anger in the community. Then at the time we had content creators & devs arguing for it - and most ppl absolutely hating it, to this day, to the point where thankfully things are reverting. But stuff like this always makes me question the decisions of the devs/mystery ppl who made that one.
Another one was PVP support, tons of ppl asking and lots of "we hear you" but nothing really came of it for years. Are devs REALLY fighting for us on those fronts? From how it looked the devs were like "I dont like PVP anyways"
And the last thing was all the Bungie devs on Twitter sticking up for Lightfall when all the fans were like "these characters & story were NOT IT" and we know how that turned out after.
Curious on how much is devs vs mgmt on those.
I had heard that it was over 100 countries that don’t have access to PSN 🤔
177! Wild
You are preaching to people that won't listen. Using logic is pointless
I gotta try
@@dirtyeffinhippykudos for trying, if you reach just one person, it’s all worth it. I must say your advice is sound and can be applied in all aspects of life not just in the gaming community.
Straight up. Get the DEi nonsense and forced woke BS out of your games. If you are delusional enough to think that the community will not fight back you are gonna find out the hard way. Especially PC players who are used to having a more independent approach to their games. It will affect the industry and it will cost jobs.
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video. If y'all only knew how little sway ANY DEI efforts have, but first you have to watch the whole video.
I’m also quite literally telling players to fight back, but with intention not just to see who can make the loudest noises.
