Selling expansions sets is not Milking
We may debate whether they should continue selling more content for this game or make another one from scratch instead, but i my opinion, this RPG is basically Pathfinder on your PC. When it comes to tabletop RPGs, you tend to buy the supplements you find interesting amongst those that were published. Only Wizards of the Coast lost me by feeling the need to reset their setting with the 5.0. I stopped caring about D&D. "Through the Ashes" is a good example of what i mean. You basically play different characters in a different campaign. And actually, i wouldn't mind Owlcat selling a whole large-scale new campaign as a WotR add-on. This may actually end up being cheaper overall for the customer i am. These DLCs are proper expansions to the game, like "Tales of the Sword Coast" was for the 1st "Baldur's Gate". Same kind of scale, same pricing. This is an add-on policy that has existed since long before the word DLC even existed. Internet was just starting. This has existed for tabletop games, too. We spread our hate of DLCs along the years because of the kind of disgusting practices Electronics Arts is a specialist of: overpricing the cheapest crap, selling pay-to-win sh*t, crooking kids of their money, or cutting parts of a game to sell it in bits for twice the price, as they did with Dragon Age: Origins. Let's use our brain and understand that everything english speakers want to call "DLC" is not a EA type of scam. In the case of this one game, these are actual supplements. Not a base game that is sold bit by bit to cash on it. The game is a full experience even without any DLC. They create new aventures and buying those is actually merely about remunerating the work they did since the game shipped. Whether you find these expansions worth it or not is up to you. Hence, you can buy them or pass. It is not a pay-to-win. In my case, i consider purchasing this second season pass, too, because i simply like that they are ever expanding my beloved playground.
Is this helpful to you?
