About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7440 DaysMaybe the industry just need to go back to proper addons, in other words make the DLC more rare and bigger at the same time, maybe then people are willing to buy them.. Nickle&diming them with to many DLC packs for 20 bucks is obviously not working.. Not that Ubisoft seems to care by the looks of it, because they still do it for every game..

Since 6802 DaysAnd I totally disagree that the old model of PVP gaming on the PC was objectively superior. My clan paid for dedicated servers for nearly every Battlefield game until Battlefield 1. Do you know how much ranked servers cost? Like, dollars per slot, all the way back to BF1942. Just because the cost wasn't being distributed, it doesn't mean it was actually free. Then there's the notion that games were more "complete" and didn't sell you additional content, but games have had expansion packs nearly since the beginning of online gaming. Even the first Battlefield game had premium expansion packs.
Except one thing has changed: now we're getting free support for loads of games thanks to MTX models that don't have any real impact on gameplay. So that means years of developer support, 60hz dedicated servers (even for private matches), etc. at no additional cost to players. To claim that it's exploitative just seems terribly out of touch to me. Games like Rainbow Six and Overwatch have better support than the stuff that came before them.
I'm not boo-hooing the idea of meatier single player DLC.. I just don't think I'm as cynical as you are. That stuff exists. Platforms for modders exist. A lot of people just get right into Unreal Engine these days, which is essentially free on the introductory end. That's not a bad thing either.
