Greedy DLC practice?

[Divineblonde]

Why are you offering day one DLC that adds a few color options, voice lines and hero cosmetics? That could have been put into the original game. it's day one. If people don't stand up and say something, nothing will change. Its greedy and dumb. As a consumer I would feel horrible buying your game knowing that you intentionally with hold things simply to get more money out of me. I understand DLC months down the road but on day one? That DLC should be included in the game. There is no reason for it not to be.

For people who don't care for skins or voices, it's a way for them to get the game cheaper.

greedy would be if there is a gameadvantage bound into it, it is not

these things are an option to tip the dev

if you think your experience is reduced baceuas you have 5 colors less available i would suggest self reflection or therapy (this is serious, its not healthy to get annoeyed over something like this)

we did drop so low. skins are game content nowdays for majority of people.

I dare to call the logic of this flawed, as I can not see a correlation between greed and ingame advantages that is absent between greed and cosmetics.

That's a slimy spin on it.

Not sure if that's what you were going for with that but that's how it came across, at least to me.

yeah most other games do it with a soundtrack and i feel this is the much better way to do it then with colors

yep your criticism is fair i pull back my statement;
still i would not put this topic on witchhunt level but more on a shun

Just don't buy it dude? If people want to support the devs they can. It's there as an option if they want those things. I'd understand the rage if these were like paywalled quests that were released as DLC.

I mean, while I do not like release day dlc, I not neccessarily mind that in case of small developers. Like I said in an earlier comment, I prefer such dlc to be declared as basically a donation (see Secrets of Grindea for example, they sell a "Buy us coffee dlc).

The thing that amazes me is that noone seems to care that the chronicle edition received a price bump of 50% a few hours after release - without ANY explanation at all.

I think that's why it's important to speak up about it. Because now 90% of games like you say, don't include basic cosmetics in the game because they can sell it separately for more money. That development time is taking away from the base game, and putting it behind a pay wall.
