Season Pass : Undeliverable?

[Disorganic]

BBI/GX have this roadmap for deployment, but looking at concurrent player count and review score, If I were in the finance departments for either company I wouldnt be paying a single dev to deliver on this. Why push new content for a game mode nobody plays into a hostile review environment? doesnt make any financial sense.

If they refund the money for the pre-orders of the first season content, then sure.

Well, BBI said a few days ago that they are working on the July update, so.. I'd suggest waiting another week and a half before issuing any proclamations that we're not going to see Season Pass content on schedule.

A lot of people already paid for atleast some of the content. Financial departments don't like returning money because of refunds so i'm fairly certain the paid content will be provided. Also i'm fairly certain a lot of the paid DLC was already finished before launch.

Besides, based on what i have been seeing from the modding community i don't need BBI to deliver more content because there are already some really good mods in the works. Also there are already a bunch of great player made skirmish maps and it looks like at least one modder has figured out how to create wargames maps.

In my opinion, BBI just needs to focus on getting the core mechanics a little more polished.

They'll deliver it or be sued into bankruptcy. The only scenario where they don't deliver the season pass content is if they do go bankrupt first.

Sued into bankruptcy......nah they only have to refund 20$ and all obligations are met. and returning 20$ compared to investing further resources into the game might be a cheaper alternative for Take 2...who just recently acquired Gearbox. They are about this enterprise making money, they are going to do what's best for the bottom line as always.

Did they, I've been searching for any news at all and can't find anything, even on the discord. nothing but dead radio silence, but then they do say no news is good news.

It was on the BBI discord, and was x-posted in the Homeworld Universe discord by members.

On discord they confirmed that players without DLC can still play with those with DLC. I wonder how that would work when one has a new faction and wants to coop with someone without.

Such Home. Very World. Much 3, wow!

The same way as with preorder (buggy) Kushan carrier, it is just an additional salt and spices (units) to the same old soup.

It would work pretty easily.

If you don't have the DLC, you simply could not select the new faction fleets in wargames, that's it.

Currently, in the Core Content, if you didn't get the fleet command edition you cannot access the retro Kushan Carrier fleet for Wargames, same principle.

I think you don't get it because you don't have the game, those mechanics are already integrated into Wargames now. Also, in terms of announcements they only mentioned the new factions in connection with Wargames. I hope that they are also in skirmish, but I have not seen an express statement to that effect.

Alot of people dont have the game ,so thanks for the info.

You're making the assumption that most of the work hasn't already been completed. That said, I doubt very much there will be anything else beyond this first season pass.

It may not have been. DOW3 launched with a spoiler for the Necron faction. When Relic shut development down, they released completed DLC ( a couple of Orc units, for free), and that was it. There wasn't anything else ready for market.

What bugs with the Kushan carrier?
