PVE content will be sold in episodes basis so instead of paying 70 dollars for a full game you will now pay 150 dollars for a game over 2 years to finish the full story.
Garuntee they will go FOMO heavily on the PVE content so they can milk shills for every cent they have.
Sad part is thats itâs gonna work, you see how many people sold their souls for that 20 dollar kiriko skin (for those that dont know that was the monetization test to see if PVE can turn bigger profits)
Wait there is ending planned for the story? They dont do it like the usual, never ending thing so they either pack up before any conclusion or making infinite more chapters to make more cash?
This makes no sense. WoW was a fully fleshed out game on release. Most of the vanilla content came on release day, not post release. Thatâs the point youâre not getting.
I really hope not, because thatâs an easy way to kill PvE campaign. Older episodes will have population issues and newer episodes might get population issues as well if less and less people buy each new one.
I hope they sell them all as a lump sum payment. The chart be damned.
I donât think theyâve fully explained the release schedule, but they have confirmed itâll be divvied up into chunks and released over time. The size & pricing of those chunks have not been elaborated upon, I believe
Expansion is not the same thing. Half Life 2 had expansions, but the full base game was released. The Sims had multiple expansions,but the full game was released. Diablo, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Fall Out 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man, all these games had expansions, but the full base game was released.
This version of âgamingâ is nothing other than greed. Iâm 36 years old and have been gaming since I was a kid. You put out a full game, I buy game, and the transaction is over. Period.
And how we know it wonât be like that with this PvE?
Who said it will be half of a campaign, and then we need to wait for other half? What if it will be 3 or 4 separate campaigns released one by one?
We do not have official sources on this anywhere. All of this is just speculation and fearmongering.
Then treat it the same here? Full game is PvP. PvE will be bunch of expansions. We donât know how exactly it will be released⌠We donât know anything for sure. Speculating that âit will be this wayâ is baseless.
If the content is good then it would be great to get one PvE season instead of buying some cosmetic bundle. Maybe the horrid store prices are there to make the battlepass and PvE prices look palatable in comparison.
But the full base game of PVE is something entirely different. If they released a full PVE campaign and then added DLC expansions later, I have no problem.
If youâre gonna release one chapter/mission at a time, thatâs corporate greed and itâs âgonna be a hard no for me dawg.â This version of âgamingâ is anti consumer and Iâm not just gonna eat it and smile. I suggest others follow the same or it only sets precedent.
Then maybe we should wait until we know something more? Like some official info from devs, or actual release instead of just making assumptions that are baseless?
Depends⌠If they charge for each part released like that? Yeah that would be just dumb⌠But if they release it in 2 parts, and by buying one you get both? Eeeeh, I can see that working (again depends on the details, and we do not have them).
All I am saying is lets just wait. Unless some one has actual details, from an official source.
Because we care about the players and connecting people, we shall get rid of LAN mode and render internet connection mandatory.
We shall sell you Starcraft II three times to make it available more quickly.
We shall cut all availability to Warcraft III, a well beloved game and force you to buy again the newest âsuperiorâ version.
After years and years of not caring, we suddenly feel the urge of releasing a fair product for Overwatch 2. Trust us, this is not going to be a scam.
That particular repented serial killer has been seen getting out of the house a bloody knife in their hand by multiple witnesses, a bunch of fresh corpses in the living room and trying to flee the country.
But sure.
After taking us for fools again and again, Blizzard suddenly changed. Innocent until proven guilty.
