Close out of Steam and reopen it, if the error message still occurs, submit a report ticket and purchase some more Cells. That should work
Some people have disposable income. It's quite nice.
I want to remind you that this isn't F2P game, it's fully payed and caping microtransactions like auric cells into something that you already pay for is a ♥♥♥♥ thing to do.
You can't rely deny it, because licensed stuff isn't even purchasable with shards that you gain in game, and perks from those DLCs are needed to counter killers and survivors. Unless you want to struggle with additional challange in that toxic community when they tell you EZ at the end of the match after beating your ass with their purchased stuff.
Then the only other option would be to include no licensed characters at all, as there's no way that Behaviour would have been able to afford to pay for all those licenses before launch.
I think that it's a massive, massive overstatement to claim that all games contain less than half the content that they 'should'.
The devs paid a fortune for those licenses. It was never likely that they'd give the content away for free. :D
Wait for them to appear in the Shrine.
Yes or no: are you opposed to paid expansions for games? For instance, WoW's many content packs or The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine?
No one is forcing me to pay for microtransactions, but I am forced to put up with the consequences of them. Publishers put them in the game expecting people to buy them, so they take steps towards making you buy them. For example, start the game off with less content and piece meal it back to the consumer making more money. There are sheets that tell publishers how to sell micro-transactions and it makes us consumers look like nothing more but cattle. Years ago, this wasn't normal, it's been normalised because people drop fat stacks on pixels in a video game.
Those packs add a new experience to an already complete game. In this instance, DBD only has 5 killers and has much more DLC killers on top of selling you micro-transactions. It's pure greed.
Edit: If you use your disposable income to support an anti-consumer business practice, you're actively making the game industry worse and worse.
It's all gamers fault that they catch that trap, but why more conscious gamers must suffer because of it?
I don't really know what to say since people above me nailed it perfectly.
Do you know Destiny 2? Do you know Battlefield? Did you play newest MK or some other game that feels like you just drown your money into demo version?
Search for the gun, someone forced them! If they can't keep up, they shouldn't go for licensed killers. I think they have pretty nice original killers, and it probably make the game seem bigger with licensed ones but you shouldn't really contruct a badly placed pay model for it. If i must wait a weeks for some useful perk in the shrine that was added into licensed killer DLC i just give up.
Mhm, cool. And until then?
Im in opposition to low effort content, not many hours expansions. DLC for Blood and Whine costs me less then Stranger Things DLC and contains more, just addition to a finished product.
Define 'complete'. If there's more to add, then by definition it can't be complete- Blood and Wine could easily have been added as a bunch of side quests in the main game after a year's delay.
I do, but they're not 'all games', which is what you claimed. You have some real work to do if you want to prove that.
"Developers should not use their profits to expand their products."
Have some patience until they do?
I see. So it's actually a matter of scale rather than opposition to DLC and microtransactions per se. In other words, it comes down to the same thing it always does- what you perceive as being worth your money.
It's only a crap business model if it doesn't turn a regular profit. Making money means that something about your business model is working, and thousands of hours of market research show that microtransactions often make a company a crapload more money than simply selling a base product for a one-time fee.
Also, I'm not defending them. I'm just trying to point out to whoever it was I've been arguing with that this whole microtransaction ruckus is a matter of perspective.
