Sigh...
That's why we keep gaming for 20 to 30 years. I can't even tally how much $ I've spent on games since 1985 starting with intellivision. Not quite a new car but maybe a 57 Chevy.
Of course, it only works if devs put a lot of effort in the game. In these DLCs and the base game itself. Not the STO way.
On top of that, hardcore trekkies specifically have spent a lot more on a lot less, so they'll likely insta-buy each and every DLC.
This isn't a pdox developed game. The game has it's own devs who are owned by another bigger software house.
This game is for a complete niche market it. Even if successful to the devs I doubt it could ever generate enough sales to have dlc for years.
The only pdox produced game to have non stop dlc was cities skylines. They actually produce a lot of games that have normal to 1 dlc.
Have you never played EU4 or HOI4, the amount of DLC these games have is insane.
Those games were created by the in house paradox development studio.
This game is not. It is only produced by paradox.
Huge difference.
I severely doubt the game will sell that much to become a DLC power house. And what would then happen is either the devs have to abandon other projects or Paradox contracts out a different devs to do DLC.
All depends on behind the scenes shenanigans.
The Ladies of Star Trek Swimsuit DLC-Sold! Take my money!
However, you must deal with Captain Janeway at every turn who wields the almighty Plot Hammer as well as the Star Trek Voyager Reset Button(tm).
The former negates all your advantages and forces you as the Borg Queen to make hilariously bad decisions to make Janeway look good including but not limited to failing to send sufficient forces to deal with threats, not using even basic viral screening when assimilating new drones and blowing up your own ships for no reason
The latter instantly reverses and repairs any damage you do manage to do on a regular basis.
Can the Borg overcome the writer's pet?
Janeway Swimsuit DLC- Take my...oh wait...
Ok fine!
Any Borg DLC presents a lot of issues, because they are so powerful as a virus hive. To do their faction in a grand strategy, that any timid reduction of their capabilities would be met with division. They would work in game as a Beehive mechanic, a virus that would simply overwhelm the other factions. They would be superior in every way in combat, diplomacy would be a boring irrelevant theme to them, where is the balance. They would plunder resources, their is no need for a tech tree and if you had one, they would explore to enhance vastly superior technology that no other faction could possibly match. They would create deterents, road blocks, but never stopping the borg.
You would have to build such a coalition within the game to balance things that they can simply adapt and overcome.
Why the Borg were never implemented in many games as a faction.
Great in theory, but executing it, not so easy. People demanding Borg be a faction to what, overpower everyone? How powerful they once they start simulating key characters in the game or destroying a key ships and crew. Any victory they gain your tech. I am sorry there is no trill in playing the Borg just to beat everyone else. There would have to be a lot of limitations that I don't think Borg fans would find appealing. One thing to do what BOTF did and have a Borg incursion or face them as a dilemma or growing problem to solve as one of these factions, another to fully implement them into a fair faction. There is no stopping that cascading virus.
Love the Borg all you want, but from a gaming implementation. A lot of issues.
I mean the Federation between TNG and future Disco had 150-350 members. And the way they colonized probably thousands and thousands of planets.
But since all the other powers in alpha were mono raced the Federation has self imposed nerf.
Ds9 had the Defiant and projectile rifle. So I see no reason in universe that they couldn't come up with anti Borg tech.
TNG showed the Borg just enough. By Voyager it kind of destroyed it. I've only watched Voyager in its entirety twice. I cannot stomach the show.
There has been no mention of them on disco. Which I barely tolerate.
I'm behind on lower decks, SNW, and Picard. First two I enjoy Picard very mixed feelings.
