We all know what is happening in the gaming industry right now, layoffs and studio closures left and right. So, in an industry plagued by widespread job losses and cost-cutting, hearing that a pub…
Kmmorpgs hold a special place in my heart though. One of spite and hatred.
RF Online, may it rest in the memory I had of it as a teenager, was my first foray into it. There was a brief window of time where the Grind excited me. There were no in game purchases. Of course there was a subscription. I killed two graphics cards and a CPU on it because I had it running 24/7. Then they nerfed the drops. Then they nerfed defences. Then they buffed the bosses so that only guilds with an extraordinary amount of players and wealth could beat them, THEN they made the game free to play and the 3-faction Chip Wars was never fun again.
Crimson Desert has no monetization like that at all. It’s a pay once get everything game.
And it’s absolutely fucking superb IMO, best game of the last decade.
Never played crimson desert. Black desert was really well made but the monetezation is predatory.
I wonder which game made them more money.
If crimson desert heralds the end of the kslop mmo that would be great.
