Thread: CoH2 DLC Prices Revealed24 Jun 2013, 22:09 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2013, 21:38 PMGrund ...DLC in general is bad business, this is not an MMO with dedicated servers that need continual maintenance... CoH has been running for 6+ years. It costs money to create and support the infrastructure for the online system, not to mention all the patches. Without an additional revenue stream there is no incentive for a company to continue supporting a game once it will no longer make them money. CoH1 did not have a team dedicated to supporting the game after the launch. The patches that we got were the bits of time here and there that were available. CoH2 has a live team who's job will be to create new content and patch existing content. They'll be doing that more or less full time (as I understand it). That's a pretty big benefit to us (the players), the question is: will the cost be too high? In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 DLC Prices Revealed24 Jun 2013, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2013, 14:54 PMPorygon WTF? That expensive? Microtransactions cannot exist when credit card companies are involved. They take a minimum out of every transaction, which means every time you buy a song for $.99 on iTunes the credit card companies probably take $.20-$.30 out for themselves. This is why Apple will not process your transactions on the same day. You may notice that you'll get a receipt for the transaction in your email 2-3 days later. Apple is hoping you'll make several purchases within a few days so they can make a single large transaction instead of multiple small transactions. This is also the reason why so many companies convert money into a "points" system. You can buy 1000 "points" for a single transaction of $10 and then spend them on things in very small increments without the company losing a ton of money to the credit card companies. It's an unfortunate reality because everybody would probably make more money on these things if they were cheaper and more 'impulse' buys. The upside is we get more content, the downside is that payable content ultimately splits teh community into "haves" and "have nots." Relic is trying to walk the line where the haves and have nots can actually play together without issue. We'll see if it works. In: Lobby
