Theoclymenus: Hang on. Is this a DLC or a standalone game ?
If it’s a DLC - for a game released in the year 2016 - then just (how can I say this politely ?) f*ck off ?
I never the bought the game to begin with, partly because of the genre and partly because of the “no discount ever” adopted by the devs / pubs (whichever),
And now this…
Is it actually possible for this industry to become less creative (artistically) and more corrupt (morally) ?
huan: It's a game that started a whole GENRE. Game where you can sink 1000s of hours and not feel like you wasted that time.
Game getting free updates and bugfixes for the whole time since release. The DLC adds about as much content as the base game has now and is priced accordingly, and you DO need base game for it.
It's fine if you don't like their pricing policy. Or the game itself.
Lack of creativity, morally corrupt? You have no idea what you talk about.
Well, I haven’t played the game yet (or Kingmaker, although I have purchased both here) but I was under the impression that they are like Baldur’s Gate ? In fact, if they’re not, then I may regret buying them….
But it’s the “business model” that I object to. Don’t string out the completion of a game over ten years or so …. it’s just such an awful precedent. Especially when the games being released in this way are not all that good anyway.
P.S. Factorio is not a “genre-creating” game. That sounds like an enormous exaggeration.
