EFAP #285 – Somehow... Extra Credits returned...

The guy who wrote the “Orcs are black” video is a consultant for Dungeons and Dragons now btw

The heavy, dead silence after Dev compliments Legal Eagle said more than Extra Credits ever could.

You know what they could do to reduce game development costs? Cut off all these consultancy firms that add literally nothing good to the games.

" My Playstation. My XBox. My Shitcube." Dune theme intensifies

I'm prepared to watch the video, with the swagger of young subarban orc from downtown Mordor.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate him claiming the industry did all they could to avoid making games more expensive, while citing everything they did to make games more expensive.

Extra Credits has gathered all the data folks, they just happened to forget to actually share it with us...

Getting angry at Dev's takes is the only thing that brings me joy in life.

Dev once again continuing the eternal cycle of giving the opposition inches and later wondering why they keep taking miles.

Making an entire video to "educate the smoothbrains" about the basic concept of inflation while pretending to take our side on how games have gotten predatory and expensive is so scummy. Now, back to slurping my Factor green goo...

For the record, I didn't MAKE AAA developers spend $200 million on a game. There's absolutely ZERO reason why AAA couldn't be making 20 million dollar games. That is NOT my problem. AAA games seem to be operating like governments with bloated budgets buying $2000 toilet seats.

Dev, the eternal inch giver. Ps I'm glad Mauler took Dev to task for his running defense of ridiculous house prices.

It's so nice how Dev showed up with own cross, hammer and nails.

I feel sorry for Patrician. He was trying so hard to keep the gang on task, when absolutely nobody wants anything to do with Funny Voice Man, and Dev was being.... Dev.

Fringy's "Look we've got an extra credits video to get through alright." about Dev's takes had such "We'll deal with you later." Energy lmao.

Dev not beating the Boogie-style shame fetish allegations

Oh boy, it's our old pal Extra Cringe

After listening to this, I can see why people consider Dev to be a lolcow now.

Dev is absolutely wrong about US and Canadian dollars being on par in the 90s. Every book I own from the 90s has 2 prices listed, one in USD and one higher in Canadian dollars.
