Miyamoto's Warning to Greedy Developers

I like this. I dont mind microtransactions for cosmetics but not for pay to win

to be honest if i created my own game i would not be greedy about it

I'm all with Miyamoto here, always have been for this sort of idea but then you get the greed lighting in people's (EA's) eyes and it all goes to shit - I blaim mobile gaming :(

EA's brand is tarnished in MY eyes at least. Bioware is the only part of them that I still have some hope in, and even that is make or break with Anthem coming out

PUBLISHERS. Every time you say developer you should be saying publisher. EA, Ubisoft, Activision. These are publishers. The actual game developers are usually mostly innocent of the publisher's bullshit.

As an american journalist, look into white strips

My big problem is with major sports games, but basically just EA since they are mostly the only developer. the fact that year after year they put out the same game and you are paying $60 for a roster update. if I had a chance to make sports games, they would be released every 3 years. this way there would be time to develop a solid game when the tech changes. I would obviously update the game in the off years with rule changes, roster updates, and bug fixes if they come up. I would put a lot features into them like custom game types (ex. 3v3 hockey/7v7 football/other things) drop in/out multi-player options... someone needs to take down EA Sports monopoly on sports games this way we can get a quality product when we pay $60 for a game.

I don't buy EA or Ubisoft games because of their service models. I am glad nintendo is still striving for complete games

This is why Nintendo and CD project Red are doing good cause they care about the customers unlike EA Kuntnami and Ubisoft

Yea most definitely, developers and publishers(mostly publishers) should listen to his advice. So many good games especially indie games that drawn to this idea drawn to this method of over-sustainability(I guess that what I call it) vs completion. Make a complete game (I'm keeping early access out of this since that a completely different subject) than expand upon it instead of pumping out "DLC" and filling it with Micro-transactions. Personally I don't mind micro-transactions within reasons such as cosmetics, I very rarely spend money on those but I understand the purpose behind them. When it comes to DLC timing is important, if DLC is being released shortly after a launch that an issue. One last thing it's important to understand the difference between an expansion and DLC.

Miyamoto the hypocrite running his mouth while being a heavy offender.

Yes publishers are/have been obscenely greedy for a long time now, if their gonna make us pay $60 outta the gate for a game do no make us pay for another $60 for dlc that in totally gameplay contains like 1/10th of the content the base title had. CDPR has done this right sure we have to pay for the expansions but the another of content in those expansion more than met and one could argue even exceeded the price tag. As far as microtransactions go I am ok with them only under 1 condition that the game is F2P I understand that the devs of those game have to make a profit in someway in order to get making content and this is ok for cosmetics. And even if devs what to help you fast track your progress in the game there are ways to do this without locking things behind a pay wall everything should be able to be acquired in game if your willing to put hrs into a game to get them, Digital Extremes (the devs of Warframe) are a great example of this, sure you can buy everything right out the gate if you so choose but all those things can be acquired in game if you put the time in without having to spend $ on them.
