lmao
I believe it because that's literally what happened already. So the one coping here is apparently you as the little corporate shill trying to shun me for voicing my completely valid complaint, for "reasons".
"afford to"
Remember when you were able to buy complete games? But please, make even more excuses while the gaming market goes even more to shit.
Yeah, at this stage you're just making shit up. I already proven that their major expansions don't go past the 50% mark. And yes, welcome to the world of poor people. If you think I can constantly shell out hundreds of bucks for games then you need a fucking reality check. That's literally weeks of groceries for me, literal survival.
And the mental gymnastics & thin veiled insults continue. Maybe go and troll somewhere else.
Remember when games were so complex you could run them on a calculator? Remember when "Free Content Update" didn't exist? When "Hotfix" was a bunch of patched files of questionable origin distributed on forums? Times change, development costs change. Are most gaming companies nickel and diming the customer? Absolutely. Does Paradox' DLC policy encourage their devs to salami slice deliver content? Also absolutely. Was Cities Skylines negatively impacted by that? Looking at how they sliced up the DLC so you could pick and choose, as well as the workshop being a thing: No, I don't think Cities Skylines was negatively impacted by it. The cosmetics DLCs were thematically self contained. The radio stations were for people willing to spend extra for little in return (sort of a donation). The major expansion were self contained in the feature sets, you don't need to buy any additional DLC to fully enjoy an expansion. Don't think you'll like the Campus DLC? No problem, you are losing nothing by not buying a game addition you don't like. Yes "addition". The base game was good when it released. The only problem with it today is that we know the DLC exists. The reference frames back then were: SimCity 2013 and SimCity 4 and Cities Skylines landed in between the two: Vastly Better Gameplay than SC2013 but worse than SC4. Vastly better graphics than SC4 but only on-par/worse (depending on who you ask) to SC2013. The game back then wasn't "incomplete". Nor do I expect this one to be. From what I can tell via Preview footage from the YouTubers it's a complete, self contained, product. There will be DLC but from the feeling I have right now, not because they intentionally made a core gameplay loop worse with the main goal of making it DLC content.
where? cuz last comment chain I checked you were full of bullshit with that claim. Although I'm sure you'll make up another one to "be in the right"
uhuh
I'll think of the likes of you when the gaming industry finally implodes.
