Vampire: The Masquerade-udgiver forsøger at forsvare de to klaner der er låst bag DLC til $21

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 fik efter mange års udvikling og et studieskifte en udgivelsesdato under Gamescom, men selvom det er en god nyhed, så blev afsløringen overskygget af en lettere aggressiv strategi, hvor to af spillets i alt syv klaner er låst bag en større udvidelse til hele $21.99, altså en betragtelig pris.

Pakken hedder Shadows & Silk og er, sjovt nok, tilgængelig fra udgivelsen af separat eller som en del af en bundle til $89.99. I et interview med IGN forklarer udgiver Paradox hvorfor:

"What the team has done here is make these two clans accessible on day one, while still understanding that the original experience is going to be with the first four. You hear fan feedback and you're like, 'Okay, you know that they want these two clans. It's highly sought after. At the end of the day, business-wise, game development takes time. And [the two clans] is additional content that does get created. So instead of making it 'day 30' content, making it day one [content] allows it to be available for those players who have been asking for those two clans the entire time. And like I said, it's business. That just happens the way that it does, but it provides that access on day one rather than them having to wait."

Vi er ikke helt sikre på at den forklaring falder i god jord, men kan du forstå deres beslutning?
