In-App Purchases

[Metallicus]

The game description says it has ‘In-App Purchases and I usually don’t buy games with this tag. Why do we have to pay for the game and still have more charges? I don’t like this profit model.

You can buy cosmetics... It's just appearance...
They give every new piece of new content for free by using this model.

Thank you. It doesn’t sound too bad. I have purchased other games from companies like Blizzard that were predatory. I will never buy another Blizzard game.

How much does 100 Epoch points get you? Grim Dawn just gives you a whole bundle for like 3 bucks.

Because the game is live service game which is going to be constantly developed for years with new content, you can't expect from them to make new content and not make any money out of it

It's predatory, but there are worse examples. It's wise to be wary, but in this case, the initial cost isn't very high and the amount of content is well worth it.

If, however, you suffer from something like gambling addiction that makes you an easy target to predatory monetization schemes, then it still might be wise to avoid.

They would be better off making DLC and charging for it there. The ‘live service’ model sucks.

Lol yeah like $70 for a freaking horse in Diablo

Well apparently it doesn't suck since it works and everybody uses it, you don't have to buy the game if you don't like it

I probably won’t as there are too many red flags for me. It seems too much like a Blizzard game with the in-app purchases and the ‘game as a service’. I personally don’t trust these models.

You're right not to trust them.
