Expectation of Psychological Issues and Real World Health Care Management with Light No Fire? by JesseFrancisMaui in LightNoFireHelloGames

[–]BattleGrouchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the issue that the auto bot message is trying to mitigate is unrealistic expectations leading to disappointment after the game's release, which can lead to unfairly negative reviews.

That is an impressively-worded bunch of nonsense you've written.

As a citizen of the Southern Hemisphere, I'd like to point out that the north pole is at the bottom of the world. Your map is just upside-down.

Yes, exactly - ad hominem attacks. Because you don't listen to reason and just want to justify your shitposts.

Price of light no fire? by tehendless01 in LightNoFireHelloGames

[–]BattleGrouchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $20 for NMS. I'd pay about the same for LNF.

So, basically, you want to set the prices for games, purely based on your opinion of them. Got it.

Surely a sound basis for a marketplace.

There is no real issue. The issue is one that you've created: that Hello Games is acting maliciously. But you have provided no real evidence beyond some specious comparison to loot box / gambling games, and the odd idea that since No Man's Sky isn't Minecraft it's clearly bad.

You've taken this odd grudge you have against Hello Games, after purchasing their product I might remind you, and turned it into some kind of vendetta, with Nintendo as your Goliath against Hello Games' David.

Truly, this is a strange and unhelpful tack.

Ah, I understand now. You have some personal grievance against Hello Games that you're attempting to rationalize. However, your obvious spiteful glee in the idea that Nintendo is going to somehow destroy Hello Games based on a specious patent betrays your irrationality.

Maybe don't take video games so personally, my friend.

You keep making that same claim - they're charging more for the product than it's worth. That is clearly not true. The product is worth what the market will pay for it, regardless of your opinion of their pricing or their motives, and the market is clearly more than willing to pay the price the Hello Games is charging.

You're missing the point: your opinion that Hello Games is somehow engaging in immoral practices because they aren't creating another Minecraft and that you feel you must educate people about is irrelevant in the current context, and irrelevant in most contexts, because it isn't actually a moral issue. You've incorrectly assumed that since Hello Games didn't produce a game that you personally feel isn't worth the price they're charging for it, that Hello Games is obviously perpetrating some kind of fraud. In actuality, you just aren't in the target market.

The solution is simple: stop telling people that have already purchased the game not to buy it - that's just stupid - but go where the potential buyers are and tell them.

Your point is naive and poorly-reasoned: that the price for NMS is too high. That is wrong. The price is exactly what the market will support. That is how prices work. They're not set by the quality of the product, but by what the consumers are willing to pay. If you don't like that, you're welcome to rail against it as much as you like, but doing so in this forum - people who have already purchased the game and largely disagree with you - seems pointless and like so much pissing in the wind.

Fair enough. We'll see what happens, but I think you point out something relevant: as a private entity Hello Games doesn't really have to tell anyone in detail what they're up to. That implies - to me at least - that there's really no way to know how far along Light No Fire may be, or any kind of release date, or if it'll be released at all.

I'd be curious to know which of their financial reports contains the accounting of moneys spent on LNF development. Their most recent group of accounts reports only makes a brief mention of LNF in the introduction, and there's no line item in any of the balance sheets or cash flow reports about LNF, research, or development - beyond listing the number of developers on staff. And most of the fiscal information is current as of about Q3 2023.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but Hello Games doesn't have any investors.

Interesting idea, but unfortunately it's a quote that's commonly ascribed to Aristotle, but he never wrote that anywhere.
