And you come off quite arrogant and rude.
I know very well how game development works, in case you did not notice, my grip is that they announced it even before the game is released. Announcing 30 hours worth of extra content before you ship your game sounds ugly to me.
I am angry now lol? Sound like a lot of CD Project defense force here is in action. I am just a guy who doesnt appreciate semantics. I stated my opinion. You could very well ignore it, but it seems like a flock of people are really irritated that someone's opinion is different than theirs.
And like I said in my OP, it not like I hate the dev or the game (which I will buy). Yet it seems that I have to praise the lord in todays news. I simply dont. I have a very fine morning, dont know why people think I give more than 2 shits about a videogame DL... expansion. Seems it is much more important to most people here than me tbh...
It doesn't really sound like you understand development, despite your pleas to the contrary.
You don't just wake up a two weeks after launch and say, "Hey lads, let's make a 20 hour expansion." What exactly do you think is involved in launching a game a month before launch? Bugfixes and PR, meanwhile you have a ton of people sitting around doing nothing, unable to even plan an expansion because they haven't even launched - suffice to say, that is a poor way to run any company. Time must be optimised. Writers, and artists and a lot of the development workforce not in use near the end (i.e not patching etc) have to be kept on, else they lose their jobs really because there's nothing for them to do.
On top of that, they're hardly ripping anybody off - $25 for 30 hours of content. Most would pay $60 for 20, which is a joke, but because it's launching as the main game, and not under the umbrella term of DLC, the crowd are much less rowdier about it. Throw in the free (smaller) DLC and this as a package is a pretty solid deal.
If people seem frustrated at you or whatever, it's because somehow a full games worth of content at the price of $25 is deemed "a shitty thing" purely because you're so paranoid that you might be getting "cheated" out of content in the main game. This is not the way the gaming community should be reacting to somebody (I would say) using the DLC system in an ethically pretty good manner. The whole thing feels like a knee jerk to announcements of DLC pre release, without considering any context.
