Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

My plan was to buy it on release, but the moment I read they would release clans as DLC the game was dead to me.

I'll check back in a year or two. Maybe then when everything is in one package.

Verbatim my thoughts as well. I dont even like either of the clans in the dlc, its the principle

Paradox was a company I was looking for in the past. Now, they became a hard pass since, what... City skylines 2? Or something...

The never ending DLC abuses and the drop of Linux support on top of buggy releases (and DLCs) made me do a 180 degrees with them.

It's kind of sad really.

They seems to fully turn the corner to oblivion with their handling of the debacle that was CS2. Just a failure from top to bottom. A far cry from the glory that original Cities:Skylines was. Now it’s just constant DLC’s that paywall basic mechanics. Surprised they haven’t made the games in monochrome and charge for DLC color packs.

what is the future of this IP? i feel like Paradox has fumbled this at every turn.

Dead. Well, they've did a rebrand on an internal team back to the name white wolf, but a rebrand doesn't mean anything. Maybe paradox will change going forward, but they seem to genuinely hate the WoD franchise so I'm not holding my breath.

oddly enough i think they actually love the IP, but are just legit terrible at managing it. maybe their ideas are just bad. XD

i'll stick with Onyx Path. they should have just done that.

Good to hear.

To save anyone from digging for more details – “making adjustments” was all the info that was given by a trusted source in a community message in their Discord.

Good. I mean, who does this? You're selling flight tickets before the plane is even built. At least wait until the game is released to gage if players even want a DLC.

Even still, you've shown your hand. Now players think that you were sectioning off development of certain aspects of a game to then later sell off for extra cash instead of focusing on releasing a fully built game. Terrible mistake.

You're selling flight tickets before the plane is even built.

I'm pretty sure that's actually happening in some cases.

[–] Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With the state of the world rn, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was the case.

Hear me out: funding a plane on Kickstarter
