1. I never said nor suggested that there are more single player games compared to multiplayer games and that is not the point. All you need for my point is more single player games now then before, other game types do not affect my point at all in the least.
2. you might be correct that single player gamers are ok with subscriptions however i do not. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!....if most gamers will take 'convenience and value for money' then the vote for the gaming community overall would be what? that this is something that they would want, instead of something they would not want.....hmmmmmm
you are incorrect about the assertion. The assertion was NOT 'The assertion is not that individual games will become subscription based' it was that all games will be moving to a 'games as a service model' I was just pointing out that in my opinion its unlikely that it would happen with single player games AND that there are now more single player games to participate in then before so there are more options to stay away from games as a service if one desires to.
THATS IT. please dont turn it into a fucking titanic. and really has anyone ever notice how ubeleivably hard people get attacked for suggesting that the world is not so terrible as one states. Its like a religion, a little bit of hope and positivity will not kill you. games overall these days are better, not worse
Ok, lets break this down.
1) Someone suggested that over the next 5-10 years, gaming will move towards a "software as a service" model.
2) Your direct response was "In the PC space I dont think that is true. The single player / private server game style has exploded in numbers over the past few years."
3) I called bullshit on your response, first by pointing out that a player's preference for type of gameplay (single/multiplayer) has zero correlation with how a game is distributed (box, digital download, SaaS) and second by querying your assertion that the single player market has actually exploded over the past few yeas.
4) I then provided well reasoned arguments as to why moving towards software as a service is likely: it is convenient, it is cost effective, it has been proven to work and be popular in other forms of entertainment.
5) You have ignored my responses, as well as just about everybody elses responses, despite the fact that they directly responded to you and your questions. The only thing you ever do is pick one minor point from a response, blow it out of all proportion, then use that twisted logic to justify yourself. What you are doing is known as the straw man fallacy - it is a very common arguing technique used by people who believe they are right but are incapable of arguing their own side because they are, in fact, wrong.
6) Continual use of straw man fallacies, ignoring other people and insulting other people is toxic behaviour and constitutes trolling. You are a troll.
The only reason I keep replying to you is for the benefit of other forum users. You post a staggering amount of lies and misinformation and you are incapable of improving yourself or of participating in civil debate. Whilst I have no illusions that you will ever change, I want to ensure that other forum users (especially new users who don't know your style) aren't driven away by your toxic behaviour and that well reasoned arguments aren't drowned out by your trolling.
So, when you post utter shit like "software as a service wont happen because there are more single player games" I will continue to press you to back up your ridiculous claims (thereby always giving you the benefit of the doubt just in case you are right) and then debunking the inevitable shite that you post.
your number 3 is an opinion just like mine is an opinion of the opposite, neither of us know for sure, I reconigize that I do not know for sure, its a hunch. you have no evidence that your assertion on item 3 is as you see it either, its your opinon just like mine is my opinion.
5. then stop fucking replying to me...peroid.
you are making this into a LOT more than it is. I am just making the observation that in my opinion single player gamers are not intrested and today there are more single player games to select from. Do not turn this into a fucking court case, just take your feeling that the gaming world is coming to an end and stop replying to me I dont care to sit here and argue over how you might want to consider that things are not as desperate as you think
again
PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO ME
becuase I am not going to concede and say 'your right! all hope is lost all games are moving to a service model quick find me a razor to end it all'
But you haven't even explained why moving to software as a service is a bad thing! No-one in this thread is claiming that gaming is coming to an end! That is your straw-man argument! That is you trolling everyone else in this thread!
I dont think it is a bad thing, I just also think its not going to take over the market and that there will be plenty of options for everyone more so then before
are you done? because at this point i really dont give a fuck
Then why are you here?
You are vigorously defending your opinion without being able to support your own opinion. You are trolling everyone else who disagrees with you without being able to refute what they're saying. You are just trolling.
If you really don't want people to respond to you, don't post in the first place. If you continue to post unsupported shit, expect people to respond.
it doesnt matter if I think its a good thing or a bad thing.
I am sorry but I dont have time to explain that to you. I likely will not be responding to your questions
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
