[QUOTE="Jefe Bergenstein, post: 8863837, member: 31506"] Exhibit A: Every other time money bros start talking about how a brand is under monetized. Talk like that doesn't lead to consumer friendly pricing. Sure, sometimes I'm wrong and EA releases a game that doesnt try and suck the customer dry every time they log on, but that's more the exception. Every other microtransaction game slides pretty hard to whale/kraken hunting. Moreover, this will only normalize this type of spending for newer players. Mercer Effect 2.0. Moreover, unlike the other 2d VTT's, you're stuck using THEIR assets. So instead of creating your own art or finding an image online and plopping it into a template for free, you're now shelling out for every model, wall type, etc. They don't want to sell you a game. They want you laying out money constantly. The 3D model raises the price and limits the ability for the user to create assets. It also means we're going to have a slower rollout of content. What's the old saying? Good, Fast and Cheap? Pick Two? I'm not expecting it to hit that. This might be good, but I am not expecting it to be fast or cheap. [/QUOTE]
