In Response To: Re: THIS. (Cody Miller)

: I mean, the issue of DLC fragmentation being a non issue by free maps is a
: HUGE plus, but I can't help but feel that it could have been accomplished
: in other ways. They are not free either. SOMEONE is paying for them. And
: if you aren't that means someone is paying more than they otherwise would.

: I'm beginning to think that simply raising the base price of the game is the
: best solution moving forward. It's amazing we have had the $60 price point
: for as long as we have. Bumping it up to $70 could probably solve so much,
: and have little negative effect in the long run as people get used to the
: price. We're essentially already paying more than $60 bucks for our games
: when we buy special editions and DLC anyway.

There are tons of different business models, but if a dev/publisher is able to make, let's say... 99.99% of all of the content in their game completely free through the addition of cosmetic/convenience microtransactions, then I'm all for it. If somebody wants to pay more than they have to for whatever reason, more power to them, and I hope they get their money's worth.

Just look at Mass Effect 3's multiplayer. 100% free (well, you did buy the game, but you get two disks with the multiplayer on both of them) multiplayer that kept getting tons, and I mean TONS of content.

Look at Warframe. The game is supported entirely by the convenience microtransactions and premium bundles. I've never felt obligated to spend real money (but I've been more than happy to shell out some real cash their way for digital bobbleheads, huehue), but the option is there if I want to show my support, and I have, but I'm glad that nobody has to. That's the thing with Req packs. You reap all of the benefits and all of the content, because someone else was more than happy to pick up your tab. Win Win Win.
