Pledge Packs Are Going... With A Sale!
-
it's being too sensitive. DS has limited funds and they need more. a cash grab would be 50%+ off. they're only offering up to 20% off which isn't much (at least on the basic packs).
-
@Jetah Reading my mind xD.
-
Cash grab with some lipstick plastered on the pig is still a cash grab.
-
i lol'd and clapped my hands when I read your comment!
-
@Pluto I would still kiss that pig then?

Hmmm.
-
sounds like you'll never buy anything then if you've 'lost faith' in DS after a small sale while removing the packs.
-
Mostly. They will only get a little sale here.
People like me, that waited to see what alpha 1 photage looks like and maybe a few new faces.I doubt it's over 10~20k. But we can check the founding later on.
Such a "sale, before we stuff this greatly reduced prices on vip and stuff into the trash bin. Cause it would hurt us in the long run" is normal xD.
If i am wrong, i will fess up 10 bucks and print me a shirt with.
"Pluto was right, its a cash grab!"
-
Nah, I’m still interested in fractured. I just can’t trust putting more down on it. I suppose they have my funds, but it is a slight regret at the moment.
There are also many projects out there I am interested in. Oath, dual universe, even star citizen has more faith at the moment. All of which receive my continuing backing. It may not mean much, as I am one person... but it does add up over time.
Anyhow, unless there are real arguments out there... you guys have a good one.
-
@Pluto I'm in Dual Universe too. But SC ... they got your trust?
Literally the worst CEo and Dev works i have seen in indie studios in a while.
Outside of the Tree of Saviors fail.
-
They have more of my trust than Dynamight. They’ve done some shady stuff of course, but it’s somewhat on the right track.
-
@Pluto Can you point me to the shady stuff DS has done? I will list the shady SC stuff in my head to get a measure of shady level.
outside of the foundation, invite a friend to profit from them sheme xD.
-
@Greenfox
yeah i'm not going to continue the argument with pluto because they seem to be salty because of 1 small sale. i do wonder if they rage quit games that have cash shop sales after they purchased something.@Pluto
if this gets you salty then dont play the game and request a refund. cause you know DS will just put a sale on the cash shop and you'll whine about that too.
-
Both projects have had cash grabs, which is why I equate them. Development blunders on the SC side could be considered shady, but they were largely brought about through absolutely poor planning. Literally the worst I’ve seen in a long time.
-
I don’t, I’m actually fine with both those options. They could even put all of the Kickstarter items on the cash shop. As long as it is done with equality in mind.
I’m not a “oh, I backed on the Kickstarter so I want exclusive stuff only for me” type of person. I do believe that a Kickstarter, or crowdfunding campaign, should not allow for cheaper acquisitions of the items found in the Kickstarter. More expensive? That’s their prerogative, but cheaper? No.
As for post release items, they can do sales and anything they deem necessary. Heck, if I buy a cosmetic for $10 and it goes half off the next day? No big deal. But on crowdfunded items? Hard no from me. Could the sale bring them down to the price of the KS? Of course! Just not under.
-
@Pluto Not talkign about the dev plunders on stuff. But shady stuff. What shady stuff has DS done? I'm not trolling you, just want to know. Cause i don't see anything except a way to spread the word for free, with promise of possible free stuff (which you can get by just idling too, i'm 125 level in foundation).
-
I think you misread my post, or I put it poorly. CIG is the one with shady cash grabs as well. Which is why I equate this current situation to them.
Edit:
Re-reading my comments, it appears I am slightly more than just perturbed haha.
-
@Specter and @Canterbury
Thanks
-
@Pluto
it's a clearance item. after this i doubt we'll see tiers as good as they are. the lifetime carpenter is gone so that's a good perk going.
-
I am kind of with @Pluto on this. I don´t really care about it (probably because the pack I have still costs the same) but when you think about it... I would not call it a cash grab, but having to pay more on something because I bought it earlier while not having any advantage of having it earlier? WTF?
If something is already available, I buy it and it goes on sale 3 weeks later, then I can at least say "I payed the extra price to be able to play it for those 3 weeks". But all the pledge packs with Alpha 2 access or lower? You paid more for the exact same thing (you don´t gain anything for having it earlier) just because you pledged between Early Bird and this sale. Just seems like a "punishment" for people who did pledge in that timeframe, unless they upgrade
