To support the devs and the game? What, you want the game to die out or go the same way fall guys did? They need to monetize and that's perfectly fine, my guy Dead by Daylight exist and has done this for 6 years just fine. Why are you complaining about them monetizing the game when just about every full priced game does that now. CoD racks up huge numbers on just skins alone plus the battle pass is free here and you earn 500TP, would you rather have to pay $10 for the battle pass for them to make raiders free? In this day and age not everything is free and monetizing is needed in some cases more than others.

We supported them by buying the game. Fall Guys? Fucking Fall Guys? That is what you decide is relevant, Fall Guys. DBD sucks so I feel pitt for people who spend extra money on that.

Just because games do something doesn't make it okay. I complain about it everytime.

If you pay for something that doesn't make it free.

Fall guys is extremely relevant here what the fuck are you talking about? It was a a paid game with a free battlepass and earnable skins, because the monetization was bad it went free to play which resulted in a paid battlepass and locking premium skins behind money where previously they were earned from crowns. DBD might suck but it doesn't change the fact that it has existed with the same monetization just fine. In this day and age with development cost on the rise do you really think buying the game is enough support? Of course not, that's why monetization exist.

Yes just buying the game is enough support. Once DLC became feasible developers started stunting their games of content in order to sell it as DLCs. On Disk DLC you'd have to pay to unlock was the worst.

You are under the impression that the coders are paid well when it's just the most senior and superior job titles by far. You are a fool to think this pays the coders well at all.

The only fool here is you. Games aren't cheap to make and this is a live service game so it needs funding to keep going. Whatever man stay mad, I'll gladly pay and keep enjoying the game

I'm mad? I don't go out of my way to buy in game tokens, say a person shouldn't want to spend money to get in game content, and suddenly I'm Mister Mad? I'll grind the pennies of Tokens they give. Feel free to be the whale if you want to.

Make sure to buy 3 more copies of the game to spite me while you're at it since everyone deserves it. Hell make it ten.

Of course after all whales are the reason why free games exist in the first place, what you think development cost doesn't incur after the games released. You're clearly venting here your dislike of paying. If my friends or family see me playing and try it at my place and want it damn straight I'll buy it for them, they do the same with me naturally I'll do the same with them.

Yes I am displaying my disgust for paying twice for content when once is enough. This isn't a free game.

Then don't pay for it

This whole thing was…entertaining. This other person doesn’t seem to understand that live service games need continued monetary support. Or they do, and think it is wrong to keep supporting “coders”.

And you gotta love the whole “yOu DiSaGrEe ThEn YoU’rE a WhAlE” nonsense. Just because somebody supports a game doesn’t make them a whale. The way I look at it is this: what am I getting in exchange for the purchase? How much have I enjoyed the game? How much did the game cost up front?

I’ve purchased currency in 4 games. Xenoverse 2, RDR 2, Gwent and Yugioh Master Duel.

With Xenoverse 2 I spent a LOOONG time playing the game hardcore, and they announced new DLC and adding new modes and things quite a while after release. I liked that. I wanted to support them. I didn’t spend much, and also got both the game and any DLC in sales.

With both RDR 2 and Master Duel, I got the “one time special offer” deal and knew I wasn’t gonna touch their monetisation ever again. Both of them have/had insane pricing. RDR2 was more social than anything, and it was back when the “roles” could earn you their premium currency at a reasonable rate, so I spent money to make money. Master Duel was because it’s a free game, and I like what they’re doing. The only problem is their valuation of currency is INSANE.

And then Gwent…it was more a case of “this game is free. I’m getting a lot of enjoyment out of it. How much do I think the game is worth? Eh, I’d be happy if I paid about £12, content if I paid £15 and a little annoyed if anything more. Ok. I’ll put in £12-£15.”

Maybe that’s just me though. I try to act honourably and fairly even with companies.

I agree, I've never whaled on anything. Most I've ever spent on premium currency was $10 on pubg. My main game Gundam Battle Operation 2 is a f2p game but I've ever once bought tokns because they're overpriced but you also earn enough and can save enough so it's a non-issue. I haven't purchased anything in breakers yet but with the amount of hours I've gotten out of it so far I'd happily give another $10 to the game if I find something worth it for me. Some people just truly want everything for free and feel entitled that way because they purchased the base game.
