Esoteric ebb I paid for the art and soundtrack. It’s a little extra and a little extra support. I also know if I want to hear the soundtrack, I will probably stream it of my phone…
Gamers, or vulnerable populations like gambling addicts?
This isn’t talking about gambling stuff, no. To be clear, there’s definitely a fuckton of money to be made off gamblers, but this is just about people buying appreciation “DLC” like soundtracks.
Ah. Definite rtfa moment.
I’m glad this comment has more upvotes than the first one has downvotes
Hey now, I earned those downvotes!
I haven’t read the article, but by the headline I can say: If I like a game, I probably will buy its DLCs even thought I know I will no play them, why? Just because I love the game and I want to help their developers. But if I know an developer is shitty why I would spend money on him? I believe is simply as that but I can be wrong.
I’m reminded of the full page of junk DLC that some anime games get, adding 30+ outfits and little charms for protagonists that already have pretty good default costumes, or even unlock costumes through gameplay. Sometimes they just give you a trivial number of expendable items ingame.
But I imagine some metric tells them to add those things, because some fans exist in this world that will throw money at a franchise beyond reason.
It’s basically a digital tip jar.
TLDR: Supporter packs and game soundtrack as “dlc” is basically free money
Honestly, if the game is too cheap and I end up putting more time than money into it, I’ll happily pay for the extras.
I’ve done exactly that. Or bought multiple copies to gift to people who may or may not ever play them.
Meh, I’ve been dissapointed by Cyberpunk music so dunno if I’ll buy any other music.
