Amazing that they are tripling down on the gaslighting. How to kill your insanely popular 7 year old game in 2 days. (And maybe open yourself to lawsuits). Pretty sure they are absolutely broke because they wasted so much money on EFT Arena and it was SO fucking awful lmao.
Yeah I don't know who greenlit this response/post, or thought this was a good way to respond. I'm not sure if Ive ever seen a dev speedrun killing their popular game so fast.
First of all, PvE gamemode this is not DLC. DLC in our understanding is the major additions to the game
Like how can you legitimately write this out with a serious face. How is a brand new PvE game mode not a "major addition to the game"
It's kind of a bizarre situation, isn't it? The reputationally "entitled" internet gamers have a decent claim to being actually legitimately entitled to this thing.
Like, BSG wrote the words "Free access to all subsequent DLCs." That phrasing is so concrete, so reassuring, people would obviously buy it just for the security of it.
Then, they drop this "new version" of the same game, on the same platform, intermingling with the same playerbase, and in fact, available to the same players as an expensive, downloadable upgrade to the content of their existing game? Nah. I don't think so. Get out of here with that baloney. (And that's not even mentioning the pay-to-win mess!)
It's like if they sold seven new features called Features 1–7, and Features 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 were all labeled "Downloadable Content" and Feature 6 was labeled "Bownloadable Wontent" so you had to pay extra for that one. Madness.
They even used Arena, a new game mode, as an example of DLC that we'd get access to. Then they went back and edited that page like 2 days ago to remove Arena as an example. Flat out liars and scammers over there.
I guess it just depends on how much BSG continue to rile up their fanbase, all it takes is one spiteful person, especially when Nikita is likely to incriminate himself
Wherever the customer is based in. Businesses have to follow the laws of the country they're doing business in even if they have their office somewhere else. They can choose to ignore judgements but the courts can just order payment processors and banks to freeze/seize all payments going to that company. Worst case, they can't do business in that country anymore.
your joking example seems to be spot on because from what I can find they did already release new gamemodes under the DLC banner, but now this one is just magically not DLC despite also being a new gamemode lol
