      "body": "<em>This piece was made in response to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/_B6zLF3rAnQ\">Pretty Good Gaming's video</a> on the new Animal Crossing. </em>\n\nhttps://youtu.be/wv-FwXR3wps\n\n \n\nAfter <a href=\"https://www.polygon.com/2016/4/27/11516670/fire-emblem-animal-crossing-for-mobile-ios-android-nintendo\">it's initial announcement in April 2016</a> and almost a year of delays, Nintendo has belatedly announced what is hopefully the final launch-window for their mobile Animal Crossing game.\n\nUnlike what some believe to be its exorbitantly priced counterpart, Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is coming to mobile devices, by the end of November, at no upfront cost to players.\n\nAnimal Crossing once caused an uproar for gating players by simply forcing them to wait; in New Leaf, if you wanted Cyrus to customize your furniture you'd have to wait 42 [real time] hours for it to be completed. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp adds a frictionless way for impatient players to expedite the customization of their furniture while paying for the development of the application and its updates. Unlike other games, which have to mold game mechanics with microtransactions in mind, Animal Crossing took an organic gameplay feature and decided to monetize it.\n\nNow some might not see the difference between this and other microtransactions. In free to play MMOs like Dauntless the money you pay, as part of a \"Founders Pack\" exponentially increases the loot you get from monsters, letting you spend more time in the city and less time repetitively battling the same bosses. In Animal Crossing you're having a timer removed: both give you the ability to make time inconsequential. But my argument is that the developers were not forced by their higher-ups to alter a major mechanic of the game just to institute a transaction - it was a part of the gameplay that has been integral since the beginning of the franchise - and they finally gave gamers an option to make that process frictionless; something that many impatient people would have been paying since's Animal Crossing's inception if given the opportunity.\n\nThis is the way that in-game purchases should be implemented. A company should make you <i>want </i>to throw money at them because you're enjoying their game so much, and not make you feel like you <i>need</i> to pay them, out of fear that you're missing out on portions of a game you've already paid for. There should be no badgering or constant reminders that other people are spending money on things that you don't have, and gamers should not be pressured by subtle or overt signs that there is more content behind a paywall.\n\nThose arguing the game should be like Nintendo's Super Mario Run, should know that Nintendo felt it was a disappointment, with <a href=\"https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Nintendo-chases-more-than-profit-with-Super-Mario-Run\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima</a> saying that revenue \"did not meet our expectations.\" And that although, a month after its launch 90 million users had downloaded the game, only 3% of them purchased it. In the time Nintendo's pay-to-play game earned $30 million in gross revenue, <a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/07/pokemon-go-crosses-200m-in-global-revenue-one-month-into-launch/\">Pokemon Go's free to play with in-app purchase model had earned Niantic $200 million</a>. As someone who'd prefer to pay for an app one time than be nickeled and dimed to access its best features, I never thought I'd be arguing for in-app purchases. But after taking a look at the numbers, I can't think of a studio that's come up with a better compromise.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/WASDmeta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@WASDmeta</a></p>",

Considering an average student education costs anywhere from&nbsp;$20-$100k, a million dollars doesn't stretch very far. The universities themselves are offering students an average of around $5,000 in scholarship money, which can pay for housing and books, or tuition, but not both. Like the NCAA offering students \"only\" scholarship money, the universities are profiting off the backs of students. Choosing not to compensate them financially and leaving a student - usually with minds not yet developed for decision making - with only one feasible option: leave school and join the Challenger&nbsp;League. Which frankly is not an entirely dumb decision. The Challenger League provides them an on-ramp to professional eSports and pays $10,000 a month.

      "title": "PUBG v. Fortnite",
      "body": "<html>\n<h2>Early Friday morning Chang Han Kim, the Vice President and Executive Producer of Bluehole Inc., developers of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, released a statement regarding the&nbsp;similarities between their game and Fortnite's new F2P battle royale game mode.</h2><br>\n<p><img src=\"https://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/Notebooks/Sonstiges/Games/PUBG/pubg__3__1.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"/></p>\n<blockquote>We’ve had an ongoing relationship with Epic Games throughout PUBG’s development as they are the creators of UE4, the engine we licensed for the game. After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known.We have also noticed that Epic Games references PUBG in the promotion of Fortnite to their community and in communications with the press, this was never discussed with us and we don’t feel that it’s right. The PUBG community has and continues to provide evidence of the many similarities as we contemplate further action.</blockquote>\n<p>Some, siding with V.P.&nbsp;Chang Han Kim, are arguing that many of the game's core mechanics have been ripped off - that its blatant theft and there need to be ramifications - while others are taking a more intellectual perspective.</p>\n<center><p><img src=\"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_y6GFenm3rA/hqdefault.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\"/></p></center>\n<p>The birth of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was not a stand-alone&nbsp;incident, simply the most noticeable&nbsp;outgrowth of a culmination of events. Years before Bluehole's&nbsp;publication of PUBG, PlayerUnknown&nbsp;made his name creating an Arma Mod dubbed \"King of the Hill,\" in which players would scrounge the map for weapons and armor, while battling to be the last one alive on the battlefield. PlayerUnknown, whose real name is Brendan Green, said he got the idea from watching a Japanese movie called <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/\">Battle Royale (2000)</a>.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/34092520328154583/C06D6B046AE6382A65FB2B7C3917A1FD27338DC7/\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"/></p>\n<p>It was years later when H1Z1 created their version, carrying the moniker King of the Kill, that \"battle royale\" officially became its own game mode, with thousands leaving the original game to spend more time in this new standalone offshoot - to the point that the publisher Daybreak Studios, made plans for it to be available on systems other than the original PC. It was then that South Korean game publisher, Bluehole Studios reached out to PlayerUnknown, inviting him to become creative director and help them create a full game; battle royale the way he envisioned it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.esportsedition.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/20161206201401_1.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"/></p>\n<p>Now, there's no way for us to know how many copies of PUBG sold before Epic Games decided to add the game mode to their game, but it seems as if Bluehole has forgotten their success's origin. Their game is simply the peak of the battle royale game mode, and if it weren't for the various versions that had come before it, it's unlikely their game would have had the mindshare to even garnish half of their 10 million sales.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?quality=100&amp;image_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fhss%2Fstorage%2Fmidas%2F8d4e66c17a94e6d4451fe74be7d49f44%2F205689029%2FScreen%2BShot%2B2017-09-20%2Bat%2B11.03.01%2BAM.jpg&amp;client=cbc79c14efcebee57402&amp;signature=9c38ddc439afa90d39139922533d0c841229dbf3\" width=\"2800\" height=\"1376\"/></p>\n<p>Fornite's Battle Royal Mode that <a href=\"https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/fortnite-battle-royale-goes-free?dm_i=XF5,56E42,6W0EWT,JWJOC,1\">goes F2P tomorrow, September 26th</a> is simply&nbsp;the next step in battle royale's evolution. Their game does take a lot from PUBG, even using the game's name in their marketing materials, but Epic Games adds its own flair by keeping the building and gaming mechanics from Fortnite's primary game mode. Is the game mode remarkably similar to the source material, yes.&nbsp;But the ability to build a fort and protect yourself, in a game where the primary goal is to survive, provides a spin on the game that no prior iterations have attempted and I think it's a great addition to Fortnite. Not to mention that people unable to play PUBG on PC no longer have to wait for a console launch, but can have a similar gaming experience for no cost.</p>\n<p><em><strong>*Chang Han Kim had an interview with PC Gamer late Friday afternoon - but I wrote this motivated by his initial press release, sent out earlier that day. Rather than drastically changing the piece, I've posted my original thoughts and after reading the interview I'll include it in my follow-up post on the issue.*</strong></em>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr>\nAs usual, I post my content again here so I can get some input from the community. As gamers yourself, do you feel this discussion is even worth having? Or, like me, do you feel that the evolution of the battle royale mode has simply created a genre, and that there can never be a downside to having more games to choose from?\n</html>",
