"First time?"
They released the rest of the kill zone stuff for free
Who the fuck is complaining? All the players I've played with think the armors awesome
I don't get the bitching. Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No. In terms of stats the gun is nothing special, the armor is quite good, but not essential. For a one time crossover, it's fine.
It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn't have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.
Yeah, I can see that one. Using dark patterns is not ok
I’m still a bit unsure how plausible it is to make a multiplayer game, keep it updated, and not sell content within the game.
The good devs restrict it to cosmetic options, but I can’t say I’ve moralistically stuck to that kind of perfection - I’m okay with new weapons/characters as long as they stay balanced against old ones. It becomes a sort of hazy issue.
Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No.
Will people buy it? Yes.
Will there be more brutally expensive items because of it? Yes.
Can you easily farm SC in the game? Yes.
Will people still bitch about the price? Yes.
