Here’s how the clan selection screen looks at the moment:
Guess it’s “Patient Gamer” for me on this one.
Me when I see a game release
A wise man I see.
DLC at launch that isnt just like a stupid cosmetic but actual gameplay is so trash
Cosmetics are the same abuse.
Nope. Voting with my wallet on this one. Paradox can fuck right off with scummy practices like this.
DLC on launch? lol no
That’s not dlc at this point, its just a paywall
If this was added after launch and actually added new content, yeah sure (maybe), but at launch? No thanks, I just won’t buy your game at all.
No I wont, since I dont support this kind of scam.
Paradox won’t stop doing crap like this because they still sell plenty of DLCs. Stop buying.
Not defending Paradox’s scummy business practices in any way, but by and large Paradox games’ DLC usually came after their games have been out for a while. What’s happening with VtM:B2 is a whole other level of shit.
Paradox DLCs also classically add a ton of content every single time. Sure Stellaris kind of sucks as a new player because there’s $260 of content, but it’s perfectly playable and even good with only the base version and then you pick whatever new content you like as you want more of it. Rimworld has the exact same strategy and I don’t see people complain about that. They release a complete game without any obviously missing parts and then keep bolting on cool new extra parts for the next 10 years.
All that to say, yeah this is kind of out of character for Paradox. Which does have me concerned about this.
Not to mention, if you’re playing multi-player, only the host has to have the dlc and everyone playing gets access to it.
Yar har har and fiddle dee dee, see shit like this aboard a ship I’ll be 🏴☠️
ಠ_ಠ
Or… I know this is a crazy idea but, you could just not buy games from companies that pull this shit.
It’s been in development for so long that Imma give it roughly the same amount of time before I purchase it. They’ll have everything sorted by then.
Hahaharrrr
Haha, nice. But people always pay it so this sort of thing will keep happening, as it has for a decade or more now 🤷♂️
In their defence, and I hope, in the case of the first game, each clan was an entire new storyline and it was awesome. I might buy it, if the base game is on special in 2 years for 30$ and the DLC is 10$ on special
