im about to look way too much into a simple joke charlie said this because what this game company did was charge ridiculous prices for a game, without thinking about how it would destroy the business mr krabs keeps his patties cheap because thats how he makes money, he wouldnt make them expensive because he knows that would ruin his business, thus, mr krabs wouldnt pull something like this he sold spongebobs soul for 62 cents, but that was a very different situation, still hilariously exaggerated greed, but it was in no way a business decision on mr krabs part

Important Note: Some people dont know that you can buy specific breeds and such that cost more than adopting a cat or a dog. Reasons for those may vary but a main factor may be childhood related events or just there not being a animal shelter in town. Prices of such adoption may also be expensive atleast in germany since alot of brainrotted owners dont clean their dogs shit so normal owners also get taxed for that.

I'm a lead dev for a small indie game studio that has a small live service game. This is the worst attempt at overblown monetization for a game expansion that I've seen this year. There is no game DLC or expansion that is worth 250$. I feel badly for the community manager here, they're going to be used as a scape goat. It's higher up management that have made this call and so the community manager can either defend it and keep their job or call it out as what it is and lose their job, they don't really have a choice or a say. To put it simply, your players are never stupid. If they like your game enough they'll buy into many things, but any promise you made to your players at any point you will be expected to keep. It takes 1 misstep, 1 wrong thing said, or 1 poorly thought out plan executed to completely and permanently destroy any level of trust your players had and cause them to leave the community without second chance. If you as a developer or staff member for the studio are having to sit there and make excuses for something, or try to place specific labels onto things to try to make your community separate it, the people you are trying to convince will catch on to what you're trying to do and they'll no longer trust your word. I know first hand that maintaining that trust and relationship with your community is never an easy task and requires a lot of sacrifice on your part that they will never see or understand and it will likely go forever unsaid and unacknowledged, but that's something that comes with the territory if you want a loyal customer base. The game studios that are highly acclaimed and have loyal supporters are in that position because they genuinely care about keeping their word and they demonstrate this by consistently delivering upon it.

EFT has always had a high price range, its not like they have been selling the game for 30 bucks and all of a sudden released this 250 dollar bundle. (I went to their site to confirm and saw that they even upped the base, lowest price to play the game to $50. When I first bought the game, it was $40...) They have always been greedy, I'm more surprised at the fact that they haven't gotten flak for it much sooner. Them not getting criticism is probably the reason they thought this shit would fly with the community.

This. The game's still in beta. You'd assume any features and game modes added before 1.0 release would be considered part of the base game, not even DLC. By all current standards in game development, TECHNICALLY the base, $50 game owners should have access to it, as the game's still in development.

One thing that is not being talked about enough.

This tells me that they were prepared that this might tank the game completely, and wanted an escape plan.

Escape From Monetary Responsibility
@brettsteuartАй бұрын
The writing has been on the wall for a while if you take a step back and look at it objectively. A couple KZbinrs have done deep dives on their finances and they make terrible monetary decisions like arena and big extravagant events and I think they were really banking on arena being wildly popular and bring in a bunch of players and then they could slowly dribble in micro transactions ( which is something Nikita has said multiple times would never happen) their gamble failed miserably and this might be the final nail in the coffin if they don’t make it free for EoD players and drop that price by at least 100-150$. This might be their final cash grab before they abandon the project for good.

The CEO at a studio I worked at for awhile would pull us into a meeting to pitch ideas at us - specifically my team, the Community-facing team - to see how we thought players would react to certain things. We'd tell him they'd absolutely hate an idea, it was bad for the game, etc. He'd just shrug and start assigning tasks to people. Zero doubt in my mind someone high up is single-handedly orchestrating most of this and doubling down because of his over-inflated ego.

Eventually at some point when Nikita realizes Russia 2028 will have to get renamed before he gets to work on it he’ll consolidate that into a single player expansion for tarkov.

I've sat and watched him play for countless hours while he told me about different armors and weapons. It is a game that even me, who never played it, held dear because my husband loved it so much. Even after our son was born, he would wear him in a carrier and whisper to him about the game as he played. So many fun nights and sweet memories, and BSG is just shitting on its loyal players.
