So they finally done it! Thank you Taleworlds!

[neopnk]

Thanks to users such as me who kept asking for change.. Instead of licking their egos, now they're announcing the War Sails Expansion & also new Base Game features, while they are not everything we wanted they are at least something.

Good work for everyone that asked for change! And good work Taleworlds, for now.

You are silly.

Im honestly a bit boggled why all of a sudden they take a little time to add a bunch of new features at once.
Not that Im complaining , but it really is a surprise that Im quite curious for the sudden change.

I believe I can explain. You see.. there are people who use mods. And updates/patches break mods. The people who use mods go into a frenzied rage when this happens. Devs feel some sympathy for those people, so they dont do updates as often now to lessen outrage. But now other people are raging that there are not enough updates.

Hope that clears it up.

From TW's announcement, they were working on another DLC alongside this one that had a singleplayer (narrative maybe?) focus. However, that didn't pan out for them, so they cancelled it. The features that were intended for this DLC are being incorporated into the base game for free.

Since they're charging for the DLC, it makes sense that it should be loaded with stuff to better justify paying for it.

They adding new features as a desperate marketing strategical move to bring back some of the old players that left the game and with luck have them bait into purchasing the new DLC.

I think you just (cynically) described every DLC ever.

Not every game needs to rely in such scummy tactics. While we could argue its happening more often, we still have some solid games that did sell fully developed and polished and sold DLCs not to bring back their player-base

So Taleworlds (or another company you don't have a positive opinion of) adding features and charging for it is a scummy tactic/desperate marketing strategy?

If another game company studio does it, it's not a scummy tactic/desperate marketing strategy? These companies are just releasing paid DLC for the heck of it, not because they want to bring back their player-base and sell more copies?

If you don't like Taleworlds, ok, cool.

Just because you can read does not mean you understand. And looks to me you either not understanding or you just putting words on people whose criticism you don´t like nor accept.

Certainly possible. What I infer from your posts is that you do not have a positive opinion of Taleworlds. You see them releasing a DLC as a desperate attempt to make money and get players back.

Do I have this correct?

What is an example a company that has released a paid DLC with new content/features that is NOT a desperate marketing strategy, or scummy tactics?

No gammer will ever have a positive opinion on any game (regardless of dev team, Publisher, etc) that sells an unfinished game (just one example of many issues that a game could face) and fails to its community.

If you a gamer you should know what games are out there that didn´t need to use scummy tactics to bring back their player base. Not going to feed your game. But I get it, you defending a game you like. You are just trying tooooo hard.

At what point did I defend this game? Please point out in any of these posts where I have defended the game. It seems to me that you are now 'putting words on people whose criticism you don´t like nor accept'.

All I said was that your reasoning can be applied to any paid-DLC content. For all you know, I agree with your reasoning. :)

At every single point. You defend the game on a passive aggressive manner in every single one of your posts and replies. But I feel you man, I really do. Again: you trying too hard

Ah, so you cannot actually point out where I'm defending the game. :) You do love your projection though. Best of luck to you!
