![]() Sometimes both factors can coincide.įortunately in every patch they've released they have worked on functionality, added features, made improvements, and also added fun things as well. There's responsibility on the development/business side that is seeking profits and willing to sacrifice initial quality, there's also pressure from consumers to get games out quickly and inexpensively. My point was, there's a reason we are where we are in terms of game development and sending out games before they're ready. More people are playing now and HD, gameranger, and Voobly are still putting up good numbers. DE didn't really split the playerbase, it simply expanded it. It doesn't matter if DE was 100% flawless in every way, the playerbase was going to be "split" in some sense, because some people just don't want to spend money on a new version or have a really old computer, or they just don't like change. It's possible to affect change while still being overall positive about the game. I don't understand why you think in order for me to want change or improvements I have to wholeheartedly denounce DE and the devs and just trash them on forums. It's possible to simultaneously say "man I really like this game and am having fun" and say "there are bugs and issues with this game that I'm not happy with and would like fixed." It's not a dichotomy. You are way too sensitive and the fact that there's a contradicting opinion should not be considered "toxic". ![]() If you think my comments are toxic I don't know what to tell you. Just because they're profiting off of a game doesn't mean that it has to be an adversarial transaction. They don't have to a non-profit in order for me to be "thankful". It's awesome that people in this community are dedicated enough to keep the game going and that eventually led to a re-ignition of interest from Microsoft in the game. I'm not going to claim to be an expert on the whole handling of closing the Zone, but clearly they saw that it wasn't financially benefiting them and there wasn't enough interest to keep it going. What a bizarre way of thinking and low expectations towards something that splits a community and is called the "Definitive Edition". I'm still amazed by your reasoning, that because it is 20E it should be any less than great. However everyone would have loved to pay 40E for a release that blows everything out of the park, unfortunately this is not the route that they took. ![]() I'm not amazed by the quality, but this is often played off as subjective and "something you will get used to".Ģ0E is a great price, I agree. And you should have higher standards if you see the potential. DE is only now approaching equal funcionallities as those of rivaling platforms. I don't care that they spent so much on fancy stuff that adds nothing to the gameplay, this only shows how wrong their priorities are. Most people in the community have bought this game 3-4-5 times over the course of their life and are very eager to support it. The fact that you want to blame the community is ridiculous, the people that kept this community alive and are 10x more knowledgeable on how the game should be. Currently even with its low price DE has already made its money multiple times over. They have not put in the right funding to minimize their risk. How can any aoe2 game turn into a loss? HD was a total cashcow with which they could have funded DE all by itself, needless to say it was definitely an indication of how DE sales would be. ![]() Total nonsense, I know from personal conversation with the biz dev that they lowered the price because the product was not to their expectations. ![]()
