Why is this game packaged with Resident Evil Re:Verse and not standalone only?

[GamerForLife]

Why can't I just buy Village by itself? I don't want nothing to do with Resident Evil Re:Verse as it looks to be a multiplayer game for the most part and I don't like multiplayer games all that much if at all for that matter. I keep hopping that they'll some day just offer Village as a standalone game and then I'll pick it up.

If you buy RE Village then RE: Verse will appear in your library as standalone
-but you can hide it and even keep it uninstalled-

i did the same thing with RE: Resistance, which was packaged with RE 3 Remake.

No big deal actually...

You can entirely remove games from your library.

Nah, that probably wouldn't work since they're tied together. With bundles you usually can't remove one without removing the other. You meant "removing" via the help/support tab and clicking "remove from my account", right?

I am pretty sure you can remove just Re:Verse and keep RE8. At least before confirming the removal of Re:Verse it says

"If you proceed, your account USERNAME will no longer own the following products:
Resident Evil Re:Verse
View in Store"

Just tested it, yeah. You can't do it with REsis, it'll also remove RE3 and the pre-order DLC if you own it, but VERSE appears to actually be separate, for now anyway. May change once it actually releases. Remember it's still a bundle and there's a good chance it'll inevitably be tied to RE8 for good. I think the only reason it seems to let you remove it right now is due to the fact it's not released yet.

I rarely see anybody complaining about this.
If you don't like the multiplayer game being included then you dont have to install it, I think its actually nice that you can get 1 additional game to your library.

I don't think anybody should do the manual deletion from steam support page, since if you want to play it someday in the future you won't have a way to get it back to your library without buying again

Uh no, that's not how it works. I know it says "permanently remove", but you can literally go back at any point, look up the game on the support page and click "it's not in my library" and restore it. There's no way to actually remove a product for good. "Removing" it is basically just "hide in library" 2.0. The only way to actually get rid of a game is for the game to be refunded, which removes the license key and any association with your account.

To add, "removing" a game from your account will also take 1 off the "games owned" badge and remove the XP for it.

Similar to the way that nearly all the FPS games have an extra multiplayer mode with the main game.

Even the 90s FPS games like Half Life and Deus Ex had multiplayer modes.(Even some 2D RPG games like Nox had it as well)

It's bundles because it will be the best MP RE game done by Capcom so far! But it will still be really bad overall and no one will play it.

Besides, with averaging around 2K+ players for Village daily on steam and numbers seem to be dropping after holiday sales. No one is going to care about RV when it does come out.

I sure wont be installing the game again for it. Capcom should scrap it all together. It has such little fan support. Take those resources and put them to better DLC or RE4R.

I cannot imagine they got honest positive feedback regarding RE Resistance, according to Steam reviews it has a wonderful 32% Mostly Negative rating (a terrible rating in other words) and then they turn around to try and make the same type of game....but "better"......but I'm under the impression like only 2% of users actually care about that type of game. it's an astonishing example of how out of touch they can be. I would have been very appreciative if they put the time/effort into DLC for RE8 rather than a separate game all together like RE Verse. I have zero interest in ever playing RE Verse and it's also a bit bizarre they are not giving any real updates (that I know of) on it's progress or release date. this game is going to be a year old in a couple months and the best they can tell us is "2022" for a release date for Verse lmao someone(s) is dropping the ball on this whole ordeal

REsis was downvoted from day 1 for no real reason. The game was an alright MP game, but not only had performance issues, but later on was ruined by the players and the developers who did not know how to balance the game. The first 3-5 weeks were great and there was no reason to leave a negative review on it besides the initial queue times for the mastermind side or simply being salty over how bad RE3 was.

Also, again, Capcom used no resources on either REsis or VERSE besides money. REsis and VERSE were both made by a third party. Capcom is a multi billion dollar company and them not funding those 2 games wouldn't have given RE8 more budget, it's not how the industry works. Capcom isn't a small indie dev who has to turn over every dime twice, they spend money on what they want to spend money on. If "market research" says they should invest in a spin-off then they'll do that.

Don't ask me what their marketing and research team is smoking though, Capcom's been out of touch for the past few years. They put a date of death on REsis and had VERSE in development in early 2020 already. They knew people loved RE7's and RE2's DLCs, yet neither RE3 nor RE8 got any DLC. You could make the argument that those MP games are the "DLC", but people who generally play RE don't care about PvP games.
Capcom simply put has no idea what they're doing right now. RE3 was mismanaged, REsis was planned to die only 6 months after release, VERSE will be the same and RE8 was heavily mismanaged too due to "focus group" feedback and how RE7 was received. It's a sad sight to behold.

most of those reviews came after its update that threw balance ouy the window and resulted in counterintuitive play. it used to be positive

I think they should have had an achievement pop after the first 5 minutes or so of Resistance so this way there's a clear indication of how many RE3 players even went that far.. I assume less than 1/4. Making Multiplayer RE titles is literally throwing money into nothing..

[keybox]

100% multiplayer RE is a waste of time and money... put those resources into making the games better. Or make an actual, real multiplayer RE game if they're sure the concept works...

This time on 'people complain about free ♥♥♥♥ that doesn't make the game cost more'...
