The cost of going back to WWI is that your cosmetics are very limited. Overwatch makes money off cosmetics, poses, sprays, emotes, and potg highlight intros. It's wacky, cartoony, and in a universe that it works with. Titanfall will probably sell cosmetics and burn card packs. Battlefield is a war simulator. Outside of skins there is not much else you can ethically sell w/o drawing p2w cries. They sell the shortcuts, but I doubt they make a substantial amount on it. It's boring for most of us to buy our way past progression. Skins are only so appealing for this era without immersion breaking. Unless they do go to the future, I'd see BF Premium staying a thing. Even though I'm going to buy it, I wouldn't mind them giving it away for free a bit more early to keep the maps populated. COD could easily give free maps with the direction it's heading. Their rng boxes, as bullshit as they are, have been a success for then. But I'm sure they'll still be greedy assholes.

If I had any hype for No Man's Sky it was probably very little that quickly died off. That plus it didn't help that I got Rebel Galaxy for free or that Master Of Orion really grabbed my interest due to the Mrrshan.

I knew they were a small company, but I was hoping for some kind of plot to the game. They said it would be pretty much just an exploration game of an entire universe and then the hype train threw everyone's expectations all over the place. Thanks for your info on it. I always wondered why they kept saying "center of the galaxy" instead of "center of the universe" considering the game is the size of a universe. I kept thinking there would be an engine upgrade or there was some kind of massive stargate to travel between galaxies or something, but instead you get reset with a new game+ basically by going to the center of any galaxy.. and then another galaxy gets procedurally made. Eh. I know alot of people like simulation or survival games that have no plot like goat simulator, space engineers, Rust, etc. I honestly don't care for that type of game tho. I'll pass on No Man's Sky. The exploration aspect of it would be much more appealing to me if I actually saw more diverse life forms. Sure the life forms are diverse, but most of them look like random animal parts put together in some kind of horrific jigsaw puzzle and their limbs and featuristics don't seem to make sense based on the planet they are found on, evolutionary speaking. That and every picture I see always tends to be in the same color spectrum. Every creature seems to have yellowish, green or red highlights. When exploring an entire universe I always think of star trek or star wars. So many humanoid or intelligent species. But in No Man's Sky the only hint of other sentient species are those aliens that sit inside of buildings or some ships you come across in space from what I saw. Knowing that the only thing to look forward to in this game is to find more and more whacky looking creatures it's quickly loosing my interest. The hype train really got No Man's Sky popular. It really is an indie game that got blown way out of proportions and got a price tag to match it. I just watched this: It seems so accurate.
