Should be free.

[SLEDDOG AFTERBIRTH]

Just think about it for a moment. The Witcher 3 offered their Next Gen update for FREE!

You guys are buying the same game again for almost full price...and STILL dealing with these janky frame-rates and crashes all over again and just lapping it up.

What a bunch of masochistic Plebs.

EDIT: (after reading some comments) > It's a next gen update for the exact same game but put behind a pay wall at the full price of a new game. If not for free, this is at the very least WAY over priced, Change my mind.

witcher 3 update is barely even an update though, just tacked on bad ray tracing to an old engine. this game moved to a whole new engine.

As I a said inform you xD
ASA wasn't launch to make money. Plus it's more than just upgrading from UE4 to UE5.
The entire code is being re-wrote + there are tons of new features and the UE5 technologies are very recent so as everyone is learning of to use them in an efficient way it's not simple devs.

So if a person owns fifa 22, he should get fifa 23 for free ? thats your logic right now

Does FIFA 22.5 exists? No for a reason, this does though.

Yes, the upgrade licence is free....but the company needs employees to do the upgrade, to make the changes in the code, etc.
And these employees want to have money every month.
So an upgrading a huge game like ARK to the new Unreal version is NOT free ;-)

I have no clue how the company is doing this for "the Isle" game, but if you are not the only one employee in a company it gets very expensive very fast...

The industry is in terrible shape, but what consumer rights have been violated here?

The best part is, it was announced as being free to ASE owners. Now it costs $45. lol That alone should be enough to motivate people to give their money to a more deserving studio.

i'll wait for the £5 Explorers edition on CDkeys :)

That's sound logic though. The industry trained you well into accepting to pay several times for the same game...

I think here is something like: "If you have Fifa 15, you sould get Fifa 23 for free". Ark have 8 years old.
