Why is the price being increased?

"We would also like to let everyone know of an upcoming change in our pricing structure. As we continue to bring new content and improvements to the well-loved title, the base price of Hell Let Loose will be increasing to reflect the new updates and future content planned."

greed, probably

[Diarrhea Blaster]

Well the game came out 2 years ago, they keep adding new content, they're adding more new content for years to come, have to fund that somehow.

[Hylie Pistof]

inflation! nothing new.
and expected since they have bought the title and have to get that back in ;)

I honestly wonder if there is an acceptable way for a company to continue these live services games without increasing prices or selling cosmetics. Like these guys have a semi large studio that they need to pay for their work. All the stuff they add or take away takes time and people. People need to eat. Be cool.

They probably realized the 30 free weekends and new sales every other week didn’t help them with their funding lol

Every studio does it. Full priced games released finished are a thing of the past.

But to be quite honest, I don't mind that a game I buy can be updated for years to come at the cost of them selling cosmetics, as long as it doesn't become pay to win. You don't have to buy anything and it allows them to finance continued updates.

Will I buy something from EA or Bethesda from an in game store? NO
BUT, HLL is a great game and I don't mind supporting the devs and future updates so I may buy something here.

I mean I spent like $29 I think because it's on sale and I'm already uninstalling it after a few hours. If you hate yourself then this is your game. I have ♥♥♥♥ to do in like an hour and a half so why the ♥♥♥♥ would I spend a 3/4ths of that time dying to bombs and artillery?

This game takes the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ parts of Battlefield 5 and adds them to what would probably be a good milsim. 12k people a day disagree with me so it's whatever.

It looks and sounds great but that's about it. Maybe when I'm 70 and retired I'll get into it.

They must have high confidence in their future releases. After seeing 13.5, I don't share that confidence because that update was

[pipi long stocking]

they're trying to recoup the money that Team 17 spent on the IP for 'ell let loose.

I agree. Considering how amibitious and rich the upcoming updates are (that roadmap is exciting), they deserve more money, the workload is huge on their side. And let's keep in mind that this game costs less than boring broken AAA titles...
