Cost just for Eve - 2 lakhs (USD 2.4K )excluding shipping and customs (1lakhs) = 3 lakhs @playstationdude Perhaps you can afford it. Waiting for the day when its 1/7 figure is out like the NIKKE figures

Let it go, bro. At least it was a good conversation/debate. In the end, it's a personal choice if people want to leave or stay in India however don't assume life is all roses abroad unless you're rich. Now post more Trump memes in the Jokes thread.

Crazy. It scares me in this aspect. Its just celebrities and VIPs. Imagine if it's us and our family members.

Mostly on physical goods. The service industry which is India's main competitive advantage should not be impacted.

Yeah but gaming lounges are expensive, require a lot of maintenance and locations are critical. You can try but do a lot of research. India is a lot more risky to setup such a business than China and Korea as there are so many unknowns. The folks here at IVG definitely dont go to gaming lounges. They are sort of lone wolfs for gaming. Perhaps a gathering here and there.

IMO It is not a matter of wants. The main reason is that gaming or any popular pop culture like anime, lego, cosplay, collecting figures is an expensive hobby - Less than 5-8% of the population can afford the latest consoles/PCs and toys. India dont have a middle class with same income level as China/Korea. Sony/Microsoft have tried to enter this market especially during the PS3/Xbox360 but not considered viable for long-term.

Sound like a Max Payne story.

Remember the cancelled POP Remake made in India. It is being remade all over again with a planned release in 2026. As for Splinter Cell - there are only remake rumors with development hell.

FH5 is at $60 or 4k. Indiana is at $70 or 6k

6k

Yes you can resell the disc. However some complete physical editions with base game + DLCs and expansions like CyberPunk Phantom Liberty. Those extras comes in digital code only. Those are one time use only.

That's great however it seems that physical games from studios owned by m$ will need a full download even for P55 (same as for Xbox).

Probably abuse of a minor.

"Players" not "sales" Ubisoft Plus offer a free 7 day trial. Also there's account sharing The first weekend will always be the peak.

How about a bet? If AC Shadows does not meet financial targets (within 2-3 months or an announcement from Ubisoft), you can choose one of 2 choices - 1. Self-ban from IVG for 3 months. 2. Write a post stating that Mysteryman makes better and logical arguments than yourself.

That's exactly what developers said before they got laid off.

Yeah it's crazy why western developers have to implement modern politics in their games and movies. It is going to flop badly. Most of its players is playing the game via subscription service and not sales. Let's see what happens in a month time.

Yes some characters (i.e Yasuke, Oda Nobunaga) are real though the game is obviously not historically accurate. It has become normal to disrespect/insult white culture/history/Christianity (like attacking the pope in AC2) so these devs thought the same for Japan. They can change races, genders or whatever politics they want.

Unless it is personal to you. Suppose it is India, they make Ram black who destroy Hindu temples, deities. or if they make a movie where Sachin is black and non-binary. It is just a game or movie. Who the f**k cares? Freedom of speech has it limits.

Again stop spreading misinformation. You cannot destroy shrines in Ghost of Tsushima.
