Trying to supress the fire on the Brazilian community. People are quite angry
It is the sole thing of timing
Wolfenstein: The New Order gets an expansion pack announced after the game priced $20 for about 10 hours of content. Many fans get excited and have no doubt that it wasn't cut content
The Witcher 3 announces two expansion packs priced $25 for 30* hours or so of content BEFORE release and people get concerned it's cut content and get upset.
Fair enough. So I went to read your previous posts on this thread so that you won't have to repeat yourself.I am tired of repeating myself, we are going in circles here, I have said all I have to say on the matter, take it as you will...
Alright. Not getting much out of this.the white knight has fallen, the dream has ended, and so another fairy tale ends
it's not the deed itself that rustles our jimmies, it's all of the marketing done beforehand which had us believing that CDPR would give us the full game upon purchase
for example: http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/01/26/the-witcher-3-dev-on-making-a-stand-against-paid-dlc
and as long as all of you sheep keep supporting this, they will have the means to keep giving us games for which you will have to pay additionally to have a full experience
you can call it whatever you want, I still have to pay extra money in order to experience that content, the mask does not remove the object's properties
What I'm getting from this is that CDPR are locking away content. But don't you say yourself later that...day 1 expansions/DLC, and the fact that they do not come out at that date does not dictate the provided title
Wait, do we know that content is locked, or do we not know?we do not know if the content is cut from the game or not, nor will CDPR confirm it if it were to be true either, so it is pointless to discuss that, at least for now, until we get some solid info on that, either way all of this is subjective for the most part, and all of you are free to do with your money whatever you want obviously, I am just trying to get some people to think about the subject since it is my strong belief that these practices are bad for the consumer, it is a fact actually, but the way you go about it and the ways you can comfort/justify your actions to support those practices are subjective
doesn't imply anything, it's just a ticket for future content. everything else depends on the developers.

Still not understanding the point.
Me neither, honestly. The only thing I got from this, is that "pass" is a totally weird term for any of this.
because it is an anti consumer policy, and you as a consumer should care about that, because you are the one letting it happen
umm what? You seriously think they should make all that content for free and give it to us for free? I take it you are very new to PC gaming and was not around in the golden age when expansions were big and made with high production values and nothing like the DLC we get today, and we the gamers back then loved having expansion packs. There is absolutely nothing anti consumer about this, if anything this is an entitlement issue from you.

Which is it?
You're suggesting that products which are going to be released in half a year from now are already done, and that the content is locked away from us. You have done nothing to establish this and have done nothing to refute the very reasonable beliefs that if something is not yet releasing, it's probably because it's not yet ready. And that if new content will be worked on for half a year, it's understandable for it to be charged for.
Alternatively, if the products are not yet made (a scenario you don't seem interested in accepting, even for discussion purposes), you don't explain why it's bad to charge for them once they are made.
$20 - $25 for 30 hour expansion pack in retail is about right. $25 for digital, ya, no. $10 - $15 for digital expansion pack is about right.
Well $25 for the expansion pack and a Cyberpunk 2077 trailer. Might be worth it then. Am I really at the point where I'm imagining paying just to get some Cyberpunk 2077 news. Oh God please let me stop thinking.
On that note. Why releasing this expansion pack info now before the game is out. Is this a diversion from the main game. Like will the main game be shit. There is a downgrade thread everytime there is gameplay released. Is this exapnsion info to get us off that 15 minute gameplay. Where is the downgrade thread this time, oh, new expansion packs, what downgrade. I need to stop thinking. lol.
They can make all the plans they want. Short term. Long term. But in telling us the plans and the timing of telling us. The game is not even out yet. Most of the gamers have not even bought the game yet. And now their plan is for us to buy expansion passes now when the main game has not even been released. Ya. we don't need this shit now. End of May or even close to when Batman is released, perfect time for this kind of announcement. And when the main game is out then they can look for more money from us.
Typical gaming industry move to get as much money out of gamers before the damn game is even out.
