no dlcs

[B00zyCruze]

so it seems like we wont be getting dlcs, not even a blood pack. pharaoh tanked and CA might have abandoned the project. it was a scam. condolences to anyone who bought the Dynasty edition. I like the game and I really felt like with Dlc it might have been epic but this is what I get for being optimistic and ignoring the red flags and my gut feeling.

Here - I didn't even review it to see if it mangled anything, did it do okay?

Here is the corrected text:
"Yep, this right here. They could drop this right now with little to no legal action. For there to be any legal issues, a customer would have to actually try to sue them, which isn't going to happen. At most, people could get refunds through Steam if they dropped the game without releasing the DLCs because of Steam's policies. They most likely already have the DLC finished because we already know that there are files of a DLC already in it. So, CA's plan is to most likely do as little effort as possible and spend as little money as possible to release the DLCs they already have made. This way, they can make their losses they are already going to have with this game as small as possible. It's just the smart thing to do. They are already going to lose money, so why not try to make that amount they are losing even smaller?"

based on what friend? how you know there will be no dlc? is this a troll post?

[Lord]

There probably will be some produced on a "tight budget".

Pharaoh DLC: The Search for More Money

Available for pre order today

[TonDon]

I hope not.
Because it's not just about a game, it's also about the credibility of the company from our perspective as players.

[Lord]

On a scale from 0 to 100, what do you think CA's current credibility score would be?

I expect a blood DLC announcement in the next week or so.

Why do you "expect" an announcement of a product that has never even been mentioned?

They are selling editions with DLC, as they are a EU company/country they are legally obliged to fulfill said content. So unless they plan to refund everyone like me that bought it or get fined by EU/losing AND THIS IS important subsidies - they will be releasing DLC because they've sold it. This isn't like the US where you can just abandon products and "get sued", messing with EU regulations especially when subsidies are involved is a lot nastier since its not a civil case.

per the comment that they "should have released DLC by now" I'm glad they haven't and most companies don't release dlc 2 months after a games release unless its skins. Thats not how game development works and its only been 2 months.

Honestly this is just another hate post. some of us actually LIKE Pharaoh lol.

They're not a EU company. Having a branch in Sofia doing the dev work doesn't change that.

Sega as the publisher are actually ultimately responsible for the release. And, they're certainly not an EU company. (for reference, 'SEGA Europe' is based in middlesex UK)
But, failing that. Even if you was to sue CA for some mythical wrong doing. It's a UK company. Which, is also not in the EU.
The Sofia studio is a branch of CA, but head office, development direction, management team all based in the UK. It's the UK CA that is in charge here and ultimately responsible for passing the software to Sega for release.

But, even then. As pointed out above. It's all covered in the EULA, you don't own the software, you buy a license to access it. CA could drop it tomorrow with no legal come back. (although, i don't think it will)

I don’t buy this. When you buy the game you are entering a contract, and CA need to uphold their end of the deal, regardless whether it is a contract for ownership or for a license. Also, when the UK left the EU, it did not immediately junk all EU laws as that would have been chaos. I believe most EU originated laws are still in place until, if and when, the UK government sees fit to replace them with something different.

You think EU laws apply only to companies headquartered in the EU? Do you also think non-European tourists are exempt from European laws while in the EU then?

Because that just shows you have no idea what you are talking about.

Here is the deal. No blood DLC and a mention of failing to provide promised DLC would be the ultimate killer of CA. It would literally remove all credibility. Plus let's face it they know how much the blood DLC matters. It will come.

No, if you read the EULA, you are paying for accessing to the game, you don't owning the game. At anytime they can remove the game or not release dlc if they want.

That's not how consumer law in the EU works. And Sega as the seller is bound to EU law for EU sales. Where they're headquatered is entirely irrelevant to that, by conducting business with EU consumers those transactions are covered by EU law.

EULAs can't overrule EU law, this has been consistently ruled. EULAs can't negate advertising either, that would make it false advertising as the EULA isn't easily accessible before purchase. Thus only the material available on the store page is considered legal advertising. Not interviews, not EULAs and not any rumors. If the store lists access to DLC, the DLC must be provided. The timeframe is flexible but the end result is not.

I'm pretty sure CA has already lost all credibility to his customers

I think it was when they stop supporting 3K is when I lost all confidence of CA the game had a very good launch & dlc sales were ok not as good as Warhammer but it was clearly making money but they dropped it because it wasn't enough now look it it's holding a healthy population that's almost half of Warhammer3 even though it's a dead game they didn't even do half of the potential DLC's they could have sold.
