Why Are Free To Play Games So Annoying?

Why Are Free To Play Games So Annoying?

Why is this stuff so annoying? The answer is simple.

Before Zynga’s value fell through the floor, they built on an entire company on selling virtual items in games that were free to play. If you wanted to make those crops come up or complete structures faster, you could enlist your credit card to make your dreams come true. Their model wasn’t anything new, companies out of Korea and Japan had perfected the model years before, but Zynga was a star because they were the first American company to ‘get it’ and apply their lessons to up-and-coming startup Facebook.

Disney Interactive Has Lost $1.25B In The Past Year And A Half

It’s all Goofy’s fault.

Disney just can’t figure out how to make non-Disney games. For years, the company’s animation business had been over a barrel following Katzenberg’s departure, but Pixar eventually righted the good ship. Unfortunately, their game publishing business has not been so successful, having lost money for the past 18 consecutive months, ultimately bleeding $1.25 billion from the parent company.

‘Medal of Honor: Warfighter’ Campaign Review: Who Signed Off On This?

‘Medal of Honor: Warfighter’ Campaign Review: Who Signed Off On This?

Don’t open that door, it leads to hours of wasted time.

I never played the reboot of Medal of Honor or read any of the reviews. I jumped into Medal of Honor: Warfighter with a clear head thinking I was in for a treat. Oh, how wrong I was. Medal of Honor: Warfighter fails at the most basic things and drags you along with a confusing story until it ended, signified when I was given a bunch of achievements and told it was done. Then cutscene, Linkin Park and credits. Read the rest of this article…
