    When your sneaky microtransactions completely tank your game sales and you don’t back down.

    Fucked up that they’re calling it “paid DLC” to buy fast travel tokens. DLC implies content, not simply basic functionality.

    The option of starting a new game We are looking at adding a feature to the Steam version of the game that will allow players that are already playing to restart the game. We will announce more details as soon as we can.

    Was this problem exclusive to the Steam version of the game or something?

    It’s all stuff that came with the Deluxe Edition, and was made DLC so it could be bought separately I guess if that’s your jam. Says right below the Deluxe description - “Items in this set can also be purchased separately”, so everyone should have been aware since it showed up on Steam.

      Yo… That’s not the point. Roping off features that are typically an expected part of a ($70!) game to squeeze more profits from your customers is fucking slimy and greedy. If you aren’t angry or at least disappointed by this, you are part of the problem

        It’s exactly the “point”. Nobody is making you buy anything, and the price of the “DLC” items is the difference between the regular and deluxe edition. It’s not like they are charging anyone more for missing out on going deluxe, and if you got regular and only want the camp kit it’s $2.99 instead of the upgrade $10. It all seems reasonable to me, nothing is “pay to win”, and it’s a single player game. If you “cheat” your only ruining it for yourself. Plus modders have already found ways to dupe stuff too.

        And I guess if being reasonable instead of crying because a reviewer didn’t read about the game they were given for free, so be it. I read what I was buying and I’m opting out of the made up drama.

          Digging in because you know you’re wrong and in a corner. Classic move.

          You are in the extreme minority defending this behavior and you are 100% on the wrong side of it. Get absolutely fucked for defending these practices
