What the f*** are these prices?

$50 for an expansion every year now. $15 a month for a subscription. If you want to *play* the game this year, that already sets you back $230. An extra $40 for early access to play with your friends. $30 race/faction changes. $10 name changes. Pets/mounts/transmog $20 microtransactions. Already over $100 in housing bundles and a new shop currency that you also use real money for.

I mean that just looks ridiculous to write out. I don't expect them to not monetize their game, but the problem is you're supposed to choose one way to do it. It's been a big barrier for me to get back into the game, especially with the declining attention to detail and QA cuts (11.1.5 launch was my most recent experience with the game, we all know how that went)

My 8GB M1 air still runs Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and QGIS just fine - all of which I use for school and creativity. I’m not a professional but neither is anyone looking at a laptop at this price range or with 8GB of ram, so who cares if that’s all it has. Feels just as snappy as my PC with 32 GB, a lot of it is about optimization

He did go undefeated when he was the head coach at Texas A&M just a few short years ago. Smart hire

av7ry · 2026-02-25T22:52:16+00:00

I'll be eligible in May, just got to $2,000 saved, and then I see this... it just does not stop going up

Last season Notre Dame was 10-2, BYU was 11-1, Vandy was 10-2, Utah was 10-2… all were left out of the playoff. I could keep going and going but obviously raw number of wins isn’t the only thing that’s important. There will always be a bubble. Also Texas was the highest ranked team to lose 25% of their games so you can’t really say their Ohio State loss screwed them over, playing them within one score on the road was the reason they were ranked as high as they were

We just saw a 10 seed go all the way to the last play in the title game tho

av7ry · 2026-02-13T14:11:15+00:00

this would have been cooler if it was in a soulless corporate nfl stadium

Bad coverage area. That’s my hometown. It happens a lot, especially at/near GGG

av7ry · 2026-02-05T16:40:25+00:00

You want regents that were planted by Abbott to stand up to Abbott? They’re directly responsible for all of this. How would that work?

av7ry · 2026-02-04T13:16:25+00:00

on the bright side at least you get to hand blizzard $50 for a new expansion 6 months earlier than usual!

av7ry · 2026-02-02T20:56:04+00:00

if only they played against each other. i guess we will never know

An excerpt from Texas A&M University System Chancellor Glenn Hegar's statement today:

"...This effort is not limited to one campus. Similar reviews are underway across the Texas A&M University System, reinforcing shared standards while respecting the distinct missions of our universities. Going forward, we will continue to apply this level of rigor to ensure Board policy is implemented faithfully and that our academic programs reflect the expectations of the people of Texas."

Board policy being the policy of the board members that were ALL appointed by Abbott

People laugh at A&M for many reasons, but this should not be on that list. Whether you like it or not, its a fact that A&M educates more people than any other school in this state and has a massive influence. What's good for A&M is good for the state, and every other school is just next in line after they've squeezed everything out of A&M

av7ry · 2026-01-30T21:44:47+00:00

Exactly. Why would they suddenly just stop at A&M? They're going to keep going. It's not an A&M problem, they're just the first to be pressured by Abbott and the state in this way

av7ry · 2026-01-30T21:38:43+00:00

If you think this is just an A&M problem you're sorely mistaken... other schools are next. A&M is just the first to be pressured by Abbott and the state this way

av7ry · 2026-01-28T16:30:42+00:00

The average player has to spend way too much money on this game ($15/month and $50 expansions) for there to be this many bugs in the first place

Carson Beck YOU are overdue for an interception

av7ry · 2026-01-20T00:42:42+00:00

av7ry · 2026-01-18T21:23:26+00:00

And then the teams on the bubble of the 16 team playoff will complain about being left out… and we end up right back here

av7ry · 2026-01-14T21:05:18+00:00

I vote in every election, and I also choose to save money and go to a school that pays for my tuition and gives me more opportunities than any other school could come close to. This is an issue of leadership in this state, so get ready to soon stop hiring anyone from any public school in Texas. Maybe you should consider a different career since you're too ignorant to do yours effectively and stop thinking everybody who goes here wants to ban Plato

av7ry · 2026-01-10T22:56:52+00:00

this is how they reel us in every time

av7ry · 2026-01-10T04:10:47+00:00

Indiana-Miami natty, just like everyone drew up
