Sad about DLC paywalling before 1.0

[Rallianto]

Bought the game as soon it hit EA, been following on YT since the start and played all versions of the game.
Always been speaking positively about the game.
But I was disappointed to discover building pieces being paywalled. Building pieces of all things? I love building in this game, but I am not paying extra, even before the game has released, for building pieces.
Its a real buzz kill.... Not really hyped for 1.0 because I dont even get the entire game, unless I pay extra. What a way to show thanks to people who financially supported the game = pay more or miss out on full version 1.0

I can't find anything anywhere about DLC with building pieces for this game, only the soundtrack.

Can you elaborate a little?

Ah, the 'building styles' DLC for 1.0. I thought you were talking about something else, with mention of 'before the game has released' and such. Cool, thank you!

I think the game would sell more if it contained everything. Stardew Valley never paywalled Ginger Island or specific furnature styles.
I stopped playing Dave The Diver since everything got paywalled and DLCs even time limited, cant even buy them if you wanted.
Put as much content into 1.0 as possible, so it can compete with all the other survival/crafting games

I mean yeah if you're against DLCs, you're against DLCs. I'm not interested in arguing about your opinion, lol.

I was asking because I thought you were talking about something I could get now (and I couldn't find it to get it). that's all. You've confirmed it's the one coming at release. No more questions.

Thanks for posting that. I'm behind on Len's Island. I been waiting for bow and now seeing this news is a let down. I agree this should be included. Give people a workshop to add more content as well. I am not and was not into this with the understanding they'd do this. I will update my review accordingly when this happens.

I still think the game overall deserve a positive review, but its s sad development putting building styles behind paywalls. When buying early access you expect to get access all content up until 1.0 at the very least.
Game is not out yet, and they already working on DLC 🤷‍♂️
Game is good, but this is sad.
Just offer good value and people will buy... Or, milk your audience with endless DLCs like Dave The Diver and self destruct, that game is completly broken now

Oh wow! I had no idea it was going to be paid DLC. Rallianto makes a great point, how in the world do you have DLC available at the moment of release!? It'd make a lot more sense if they included the build styles in 1.0 and then made newer styles later on as DLC. A couple of bucks isn't too bad but I'm really struggling to understand why this wouldn't be base game.
