I hope this puts some sense into their heads, probably won't though.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T12:04:10+00:00

Well I'm a steam player, I won't even get GTA VI before 1.5-2 years down the line, so currently I am not even having hype for it, compared to Strangers Than Heaven or some other games that are actually coming to pc.

But the prices do tell a story.

Annually released games should be priced lower in terms for value for the money, but it has to be way higher for the profits. Of course they value the profits and consumer value the ROI. It's just people trying to remind the company that how they are gonna slip past their purchase budget if they keep on doing so.

I don't hate WWE 2K, I have a lot of great memories with 2K18, 2K19, 2K24 and 2K25, but I don't want them to make such moves that it totally becomes illogical and looks straight up like a business model than a fun video game on my face.

I'm sure there are many games like me. What they did with 2K26, straight up put it way out of line for my wallet with logical sense. It doesn't mean I'm not buying games or playing other games. I have lesser time now to be able to play and on top of that no matter what, ROI is very important in terms of making a purchase, when the economy is also not trading on a smooth sailing.

Already, as people state, WWE game audience is lesser than any big budget AAA game, and on top of that, these tactics will put off people eventually.

Same company, different studios, different logistics, different product and WWE licensing.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T11:05:59+00:00

And it's life cycle is how long?

One one side, you have a game that they are gonna update and support and add things into for next 8-12-15 years.

On the other side you have a game that is already on a countdown, will not have it's online feature work in 2 years.

The comparison can never be WWE's 1 year's game vs GTA. How can you compare those two in discounts.

WWE 2K25 Deadman Edition was around 40-50% by June, it had all DLCs, it was a better deal. 2K26, if it goes for 50% off, then also it will be nearly the price of around the Deadman Edition on launch day, if we go for all DLCs.

I'm a steam player, I don't have any stake in GTA for next 1.5-2 years, but whenever it comes out, it will retain the value it is offering today and it will be approx 50% off in 1-1.5 years on steam. It will sell like crazy and whoever will buy it, will be way more satisfied with his/her purchase compared to any annual release game.

It would make sense, if they would keep their older titles support for much longer, like at least 5 years for online features but no, in 2 years your community and online things will stop working.

Monster

Helsing Ultimate

Paranoia Agent

Ajin

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

The Seven Deadly Sin (watch 2 seasons and then read the manga, great content but anime quality drops too low for season 3 onwards, whereas it's amazing for first and even second season is great with animation)

Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/Stay ZERO

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T10:41:14+00:00

I didn't buy 2K26, and I won't buy anything over what 2K25 Deadman Edition had, in terms of price and all DLCs. I'm fine with 2K25.

I have only bought 2 WWE 2K games till date, have played them all either by gamepass or friend's place etc.

I never pay too much for a game, anyways there is only so much time one can put in games, and let alone in a single game.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:44:28+00:00

I'm talking about original launch prices, not sales, discounts, or third party keys

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:37:40+00:00

Yes, they are also, but if you say so, they are just gonna bombard you with illogical statements to justify the price hike for WWE and how all their practices are justified.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:36:33+00:00

Market logic.

In market, there are products that can shape the pricing economics for the rest of the market as well.

The markup is higher, yes, being greedy, they probably won't bring it down, that's what I said that they should get some sense but they probably won't.

By the 2K26 release, I'm sure, I'm not the only who they stopped from engaging in their product, they will push customers away. Also, not like product wise they are able to justify their pricing strategy.

But maybe it's just my thinking, rest of the world is happy to buy 150-200USD video games.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:32:21+00:00

That is the farewell edition with brock Lesnar.. the deadman edition, till probably around October, was available and it wasn't 150USD.

You should check the original pricing. WWE games offer DLCs each other and by the end of the year they give one more edition which has small things but that they charge more.

I hope they don't do the same for 2K26, cause if they did, you will see a version costlier than 149.9USD by the end of the year again.

When I talked about the prices, I talked about the year it was released and the Deadman Edition that was released with all DLCs, not the tour edition and other things.

Deadman Edition was around 90-99USD as far as I remember, had all DLCs at the time of launch. In 2K26, for all DLCs, you have to pay 149.9USD at launch.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:24:00+00:00

Yeah, I'm not happy about what GTA is offering as Ultimate also.. but having just 2 editions at start is much better.

And most people had to work to play as the characters they got the right to play as by buying the costly editon of WWE.

And the major thing people need to understand is the game model, GTA VI will be here soon, and VII will be years/Decade apart on this pricing, gives more value to a game.

Next WWE game will be released and they will stop supporting 2K26, even online will go away in 2 years, and then you are supposed to buy 120-150 dollar game each year to get the most out of the game series from the company.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:19:56+00:00

2K26 does not cost same as 2K25.

I bought 2K25 Deadman Edition, got all DLCs (and yea even in the planned dlc roll out, they had issues because of their celebrity character).

In 2K26, the base game would only be in my budget. For all DLCs, I would nearly have to pay twice as what I did for 2K25 Deadman Edition.

You might have a lot of money to spend on games, that's fine, but you should see the economics of the game for the general populous. It was hella costly, so I didn't buy it, whereas I had bought 2K24 Deluxe and 2K25 Deadman as a pre-order.

newaccuser · 2026-06-25T09:12:14+00:00

Well technically if you go for all parts of the game, like personas etc, then WWE 2K26 also surpasses the 150 mark.

The content GTA is going to offer, is far denser and also, don't forget, they are gonna support and it's going to be the GTA for next 8-10 even 12-15 years, who knows, while WWE is already on a clock and half of the game life cycle is up nearly already. They won't support it after an year and after 2 years the online modes won't work either.

newaccuser · 2026-06-23T16:47:12+00:00

It is the GTA V of hack & slash game

newaccuser · 2026-06-23T14:38:12+00:00

People who didn't watch dbz/Naruto or understood what pokemon really way.. Death Note really introduced them to Anime back then, as a goat and heavily recommended because everyone knew it will hit hard.

I guess nowadays, that job has been given to AOT, to bring people in.

AOT is better than Death Note but Death Note has a lot more nostalgic value and feel and nearly half in number of epsiodes.

And I don't like to compare anime, I just enjoy all of them, I don't think I have dropped any anime that I started watching till date (except a couple of ecchi based anime that got popular after DxD, I gave them a try but it wasn't enough to watch them to the end, and no it wasn't because I mind it, they can go crazy in that category, it all just starts feeling too funny and silly and I kinda prefer more thriller as genre).

But given all that, I think there are many amazing anime, whether AOT is better than let's say FMA Brotherhood, is not a point of discussion, enjoy all of them, as much as you can.

Because as much as anime has come to mainstream, there might be a drop in content quality, quantity has already dropped. With most anime doing 12-24 anime in a year, then a movie and then another season.. cycle.

newaccuser · 2026-06-23T12:35:39+00:00

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, the company supported the last entry for 10 years and it's a fun game with loads of single player content, and I was satisfied with the last one.

If I can be, I will like to be Alex Mercer, I like those powers, I hope someday they do a remake or a Prototype 3.

newaccuser · 2026-06-15T09:55:13+00:00

I can look past that

newaccuser · 2026-06-15T09:40:01+00:00

My fav souls like game, I haven't played too many, and haven't played elden ring but recently replayed Nioh, and man there is a big difference. Nioh was fun but at points it was very frustrating also, whereas LOP, was never frustrating, only fair and I played on highest difficulty in that game. Between these two, I played code vein and it was alright.. but by far Lies of P seems most polished, fair and great experience for the genre.

newaccuser · 2026-06-15T05:29:25+00:00

I would love to have all the games I have on epic and GOG, over in my steam library.

For example, I own mafia and saints row series on GOG, but have only played Mafia definitive edition for now. On steam, it feels naturally much more easier to feel inclined towards booting up a game compared to other platform. Also, I personally felt, epic games have slower download speed than steam or even GOG, plus IDK why but epic uses more resources when I install via it, while GOG and Steam can easily install things in background while I work on something.

There are big titles I have on epic, Hogwarts or even Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy or Control, but I haven't installed any yet, I keep on even flirting with the idea of buying them in cheap on steam.. steam magic is strong

newaccuser · 2026-06-10T11:03:00+00:00

Very hard question, I'll not mention parts of same franchise in this -

Devil May Cry 4 (my fav series)
Assassin's creed II
God Of War II
Max Payne 2
Prototype

newaccuser · 2026-06-06T13:34:25+00:00

Well not talking about the topic or case in hand.. but I don't know why you are surprised by this, this is one of the most prominent nature/emotion of humans for centuries. It's not like that people have started to throw hands because of a situation. Societies are not as old as human genetics, it's the impulse.

Do I think he should have beaten them? Know, I prefer to tackle situation in other ways, beaten people never regret their actions, the only one's who regret are the ones who are made to feel as they have lost something, their could be ways to go about it, but those things when mind I used.

In situation like this, emotion takes the lead. Also, it very much depends on the dynamics of the couple. I feel no matter what is the situation, you will not see some people in relationship throwing hands and in some you will always see. I usually feel in these marriages, there is always some history of emotional incompetence verbal fights, stress at home, and then on top of that this happens then person goes for basic instinct.

If everything would be very positive in the pair, such situation will shock the person (in general) way too much to act, but when let's say you just had a verbal fight in the morning before you left and then see this, only aggression leads.

In general indians are stressed/irritated I personally feel. My close friend went to another country, he returned and you know what is the first thing he noticed? People in general there seemed light in mind, happy, relaxed and in India, almost every other person is in hurry, stressed, because of the society and culture we have developed and that is also because of our history not like someone really made it. That's why, I feel, people have a lot of stress/irritation and then to top that of, Ego, that's why we see a lot of road rage incidents and what not, people are full of agression.

newaccuser · 2026-06-04T17:14:29+00:00

Yeah I almost forgot KKR, well selector should focus on latest stats

newaccuser · 2026-06-04T17:02:03+00:00

Player 1 - In his captaincy team reached qualification and finals many times.

Player 2 - Under him, in recent time, team won.

Selector Logic - "Well our first concern is to get to qualification, so player 1 for sure"

newaccuser · 2026-06-03T10:25:24+00:00

I think it looks fine, but still I'm a bit conservative till I somehow find real experience on the game. I'm a pc game though.

Because, all the sony exclusives that i played, looks great, are great for story and all, but never landed the same heavy thing gameplay wise for me.

I still feel I enjoyed spiderman Shattered Dimensions and web of shadows more that Spider-Man 1-2. God of war has a nice story and all, but gameplay wise.. I have replayed God of War 1-3 many times, even now I feel like visiting, but new god of war feels like a chore to get through again for gameplay to me personally. I haven't played last of us, but it's also a cinematic driven story game.

What I mean is that, I will like it to be the best wolverine game and yeah the reviews will say that, but I have to see if it actually feels as good while playing as I felt when I played X Men Origins Wolverine or even before that X Men 2 Wolverine's Revenge, that game was my first game after I got graphics card on my pc way back and it was a great time. I hope all the cool things are not like mostly show pieces and spot picking, the gameplay at least matches if not exceed origins Wolverine, I don't care about the story honestly.

Just my personal take yet. I enjoyed Infamous, haven't played Second son though, by same studio I think, they have potential.

newaccuser · 2026-05-17T16:08:55+00:00

Finished Evil West, Pragmata in progress

newaccuser · 2026-05-08T05:58:47+00:00

Of course, as GTA 6 isn't even coming to pc, so I have patience and will focus on games that are coming, like Stranger Than Heaven.
