 Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brennan today. We are having another discussion video. Some people call these rants They're not I swear These are discussion videos on screen now as some of my favorite comments from last time where we discussed the least favorite world Mine was obviously dragon spy, but if you haven't seen that you should go and check that out already But we ain't talking about least favorite words today We are talking about the possibility of Maybe not even a possibility just a concept of was a 101 being available on console Now I did a video. I think it was earlier this year or Late last year. I can't really remember the time frame But it was basically about was a 101 being on steam, which was a great possibility at the time because ever clicker had been Acquired since then there have been a couple developments on that case And might as well talk about them now on Twitter, there's this guy who I follow who Searches into the game files spores a whole bunch of things and there's Possibility that steam and was a 101 could be coming soon from what he's seen and what he's shown us From the game files. There's things that directly name steam and all that sort of stuff, but we're not going into that today If you want to find out more He's quite popular in the Twitter community But anyway on to what we're actually talking about was a 101 on Console now, I'm not a big console fan to be honest not really a fan of that Sort of stuff, but this is something I've seen on reddit a lot and a lot of people have been asking for it I kind of want to know what you guys think, but I'm gonna let you know what I think first Um Personally, I don't see the point of it. I know that it's really really hard to get all of the consoles to kind of work together and I know that when Mojang tried to do it for Minecraft that it failed a lot, especially PlayStation But that again could have been because they're owned by Microsoft. I don't really know I haven't really like heard about much of that in the way of things but Connecting between all of these different platforms is definitely difficult Sony who I believe own PlayStation generally not the best at letting cross platform Ability there's a word for it. I can't remember the words right now. Words are not my thing today Um Yeah, they're not basically really good at letting people do that. There's yeah from what I've heard It's not like easiest thing to do and then again just converting everything over into The Like to console as well is not the best so I don't think I would personally like that I think it would take way too much time away from The development of the game not that they're doing much but Well, so I don't want to sound like make it sound like they don't think I don't think that they do much because they do But not that there's like much going on too much too Like too great at the moment like as soon as Imperial Part 2 is finished I do think they're gonna take a wee little bit of break step back a bit Definitely continue with the whole enhancement of the First arc making it look better and feel better And I'm excited for them to do that and I think that if they do that and then work on the marketing It can make a great game again make was a one-on-one great again So yeah, who knows that's all up in the future, but I don't think that taking time away from creating the graphics to be better is Probably not in their interest best interests at the moment in my opinion Taking that time away. It's just not probably what they should be doing. I think they should be really focusing on First maintaining their audience at the moment because I know there's been a lot of talk about people quitting and blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah Who knows what but then again that also could be because it's like just like there's no big updates at the moment And probably won't be until October and then people come back again this possibility it happens a lot but maintaining an audience for the game is crucial especially as it's not the biggest game we're not I'm not gonna sugarcoat it it's not the biggest game but it is also not the smallest game in the world but I don't think that they should be taking a hundred percent of their time to develop console when their marketing is still kind of slow they're not the best again I live overseas so I can't like comment on TV commercials that you might see in America but I haven't heard of any going around I know that I sometimes get ads on YouTube which is a surprise for the game but there's not much like advertising that I actually get and I don't see much many people talking about the ads of wizard 101 so yeah I don't think it's in their best interest steam I think would be far better for them to go than console because it takes a lot less of their time and effort to do steam then it would to do console because console they have to kind of like rewrite everything and like fix it for like controllers and other different platforms that is not Windows and Mac and Linux so yeah whereas if they release it on steam they can get a huge increase in players hopefully and not have the whole issue of rewriting absolutely everything yeah there's gonna be a couple things that they have to rewrite and they're already like starting to implement that for some reason who knows possibility of steam in the future I wouldn't doubt it so yeah that's kind of my opinions I don't really think it's a great idea for them to do that but then again it could be what they want to do I don't see for me personally I would not go to console just for wizard 101 I probably won't go to console full stop but that's just me I haven't really like grown up as a console sort of guy so yeah not really a possibility in my mind and it definitely wouldn't change and I don't think many people would switch over like some of them they would and I can understand that because they prefer console and whatnot and look my favorite games on console now yay I can play it there but I don't think that the draw of that will provide them enough reason to do it financially when we've already as the community we already criticize them enough for a bad marketing decisions and bad decisions in general and I don't want them to be criticized a lot like they get criticized a lot and some of it is justifiable and others are just ridiculous but I'm not going into that today and I think that it would be borderline waste of money in my opinion and also there's the whole debacle of different laws in different countries obviously they'll have to sell it as like probably more of a physical copy and then you get a whole into a whole bunch of different laws since it's not just in the US anymore it's in every other country or if they release it to other countries and some countries have a more strict on gambling which technically packs come into the gambling category because you don't know what you're gonna get or you know what you're gonna get you don't know the chances of getting it so they would have to release in a lot of countries I know China does this and I think Australia as well but I'm not really like up to date with this and I'm pretty sure the whole of the EU do this as well you have to release the drop chances of everything if you're quote-unquote gambling away so it's not gambling otherwise you can't have it I know China is a big issue for this so like for these professors will pack with stereo law back you would have to know the exact probability of getting it for absolutely everything otherwise is gambling which I don't think they're gonna be able to do that because this is a packs are probably where they make a lot of their money like most of their money other than membership because who doesn't go for packs like there's like mounts in here that everyone wants a gorgeous whole pack go for the mount don't get it like a billion time spend so much crowns on it and boom you finally get it but everybody has to do that again with the wisteria law pack like there's pigs in there everybody wants pigsy you spend crowns for pigsy and if you're lucky you get it first time like me otherwise you don't and you keep spending crowns you spend and spend and spend and spend and you're basically just gambling all your money away and that's how it works but in some countries that's not quite the best to do and some countries don't like that there's laws against it which is not really cool but that's how it goes so they would have to take into account international laws and not just the US laws which I don't think a company as small as Kings I will probably look into which is again another reason why I don't think console would be a thing but yeah what I want to ask you is what do you think about if let's say was a 101 comes to console would you play it this is the first question would you play was a 101 if it was on a console and what do you think about was a 101 becoming a console game as well as on the PC like what do you think the dynamic between that would be how do you think it would work what do you think about it like what do you think would you play it and what do you think about it being on console if it came on console do you think that would do it I don't know you tell me anyway thank you for watching next time we will be doing another discussion not around these not runs these discussions I like I have to say that I get I get roasted too much in the comments otherwise people would just like constantly telling me I'm just ranting about time stop ranting stop it you don't do this anymore but yeah anyway thank you for watching you're interested like and subscribe and if you're new here press the little bell and
