and insightful commentary mojo plays
games smarter for this list we’re
looking at some of the moments where
game developers showed that they care
more about the customer then
establishing greedy business practices
that isn’t to say that developers that
aren’t included on this list are
terrible or that these developers aren’t
guilty of other shady business practices
or simply recognizing moments where
developers and publishers made business
moves that display a player first
number ten mass effect extended cut
ending DLC Bioware the Citadel it’s my
home
Mass Effect 3 was a great game but that
ending could have been a lot better we
weren’t the only ones who were
disappointed though as thousands of fans
expressed their well good disappointment
to put it gently instead of choosing to
shy away from the issue or tell fans
it’s better than nothing
Bioware released an extended cut of the
ending oh and it didn’t cost players a
cent an easy way a developer could have
solved this was to announce a sequel or
let fans stay angry but Bioware took a
more proactive approach we can face them
number 9 handing Sonic to a new
developer Sega
look lots of people love Sonic the
Hedgehog and all but since he made the
transition from 2d side-scrolling to 3d
auto running most of his games have been
kind of bad it was a pretty bold move
and for second to hand the license over
to a completely different developer for
Sonic mania but the results speak for
themselves
the most interesting part was that the
team was composed of people who had made
Sonic fan games and ROM hacks but Sega’s
open-mindedness paid off and Sonic mania
became one of the best games of 2017 and
probably the best Sonic game we’ve seen
in years now who here is excited for
Sonic mania plus a break community first
psionics
rocket League is a couple of years old
by now but it still remains one of the
best competitive games to play with
developer psionics continuously adding
new game modes arenas and cars to
customize many players can’t help coming
back again and again most players would
run at the sight of a microtransaction
system but psionics utilizes one that
technically helps the community purchase
is made on crate keys of being used to
fund community events and tournaments
rather than putting all of that money
into the studio’s pockets it’s nice
knowing that the money players spend on
keys for cosmetic items is being used to
number seven approving a fan game for
steam valve corporation ah Gordon yeah
you are
we just think a sample down to the test
chamber we’ve boosted the anti-mass
spectrometer to 105 percent some of you
might know where we’re going with this
I mean much has been said about
half-life 3 and how we’re probably never
gonna see it luckily we still have
half-life 1 & 2 though the first game in
the series is pretty darn dated by
today’s standards well leave it up to
the development team known as crowbar
collective to fix that creating a remake
of half-life called
Black Mesa of course this could have led
the team into legal trouble but
shockingly valve actually allowed the
remake to be published on Steam no
strings attached well Bravo valve that
is an awesome thing to do especially
considering Europe already ludicrously
number six solving micro transactions in
warframe Digital Extremes for a long
time
warframe was plagued with a problem
regarding limited time items and micro
transactions basically the items that
were once limited time only were being
repackaged into overpriced bundles
thankfully developer Digital Extremes
addressed the issue back in February of
2018 running a live stream to discuss
the problem and ask players for a
solution a developer asking players how
they want DLC to be packaged in priced
inviting the community to reform that
system with them now that’s really
something you don’t see that often this
is a prime example of player choice not
loot boxes you’re just saying if you’re
new to warframe and you’re tuning in and
you’re seeing stuff that looks
unpolished this is this is how we do we
show you what we’re working on number 5
free titanfall 2 DLC Respawn
paetynn poll 2 delivered on the promise
of the original and then some not only
were we given an exhilarating
single-player campaign but all of the
major DLC for multiplayer was free
the only DLC you have to pay extra for
are war paints and a few different
chassis designs for once we got a $60
game that actually felt worth the value
new game modes were added more Titans to
kid nasmyth and more executions to
humiliate our opponents were keeping us
busy we just hope technical pre-sales a
bit better pilot this situation could
use your skills I hope you’re up for
another trip to hell Cooper number 4
doom version six point six six in
software and Bethesda Softworks 2016 s
doom was one of the best games of the
year and a major comeback for the
franchise on top of that the DLC added
some extra goodies to a game already
packed with content more multiplayer
maps extra game modes more weapons and
more snap map assets to play with what
we weren’t expecting was that a little
over a year after release Bethesda
announced a final update version six
point six six PAL propria this update
would make the DLC free to anyone who
bought the game plus the game’s price
was cut in half well 30 bucks for all
that they really wanted people to be
number three shunning nuke boxes
amidst all the hype for monster hunter
world there were a few concerns about
the game regarding certain game
companies recently pushing sleazy
marketing mechanics like loot boxes when
asked by GameSpot about loot boxes in
monster hunter world series producer Rio
Zoet tsujimoto stated that the game
already has a system like loot boxes
he’s not wrong either as the monsters
dropped random items of stop we want or
already half which is something he also
brought up
he added you’ve already kind of gone
looting as a core gameplay aspect
without having to shove a micro
transaction version of it in you’re
preaching to the choir buddy and we love
it
number two free expansions for shovel
Schull night is not an expensive game
for a title that’s less than 20 bucks
you could easily lose hours playing it
finding secrets battling the order of no
quarter and popping those difficult
in-game achievements and trophies so it
caught a lot of people by surprise when
developer Yacht Club games announced
that shovel knight would be getting a
hearty helping of DLC furthermore all
owners of the original game would get
all DLC for free before the game was
rebranded as shovel knight treasure
trove shovel knight was practically
perfect already so young Club had no
reason to make any free full-length
expansions but we are not complaining
this is like having an extra steak with
number one refunds for paragon epic
games it’s tough out there for MOBAs one
second that the new kid on the block the
next battle royale games are taken over
the world Epic Games is other title
Paragon has suffered from fortnight
success you see as well as the continued
popularity of other MOBA games this led
to Epic Games announcing the shutdown of
Paragons servers they could have left
things at that because many companies
shut down their games but the company
went a step further offering refunds to
those who had spent money on the game
players could even get that refund in
the form of B bucks for tonight’s
premium currency allowing them to buy
battle passes and maybe a few cosmetic
goodies okay that’s not necessarily the
nicest thing that’s a bit scummy but
anyway let’s keep going they also
released 12 million dollars worth of
assets to the Unreal Engine marketplace
completely for free paragon may have
been fun while it lasted and Epic Games
