Legit question. Why should it be free?
Developing features and updates to a game costs money. I think it makes sense to charge money for that in some way.
Why should the air you are breathing be free? Other living creatures need air too so start paying.
So you think developers should be working for free? Or publishers should swallow the cost of developing updates because...why exactly?
You see, this is exactly the thing people mean when they say gamers are "entitled". You need a reality check from time to time, that things cost money, and developers/publishers are not your friends, and don't owe you shit.
you would have a point if this thread talked about actual content
How is day and night cycle, or anything there isn't "content"? Just because you don't like it or don't need it doesn't mean it doesn't cost resources to implement. If you don't like it you don't buy it.
>If you don't like it you don't buy it
That has worked well since horse armor right?
Well, what is the realistic alternative in this case?
Why should they make it free when it costs money to develop?
Because following your line of reasoning everything should be sold separately, from every element of the map graphics to every single game mechanic.
That's not it at all, you misunderstand my reasoning. You get all that in the package when you buy the game. I'm talking about everything that is developed AFTER the game is released.
That is because in order to continue updating a game and adding whatever content to it, costs money.
Everything up to release also costs money. Do why not just release an unfinished, broken, feature-stripped beta as your "retail version" and then keep selling basic features you were expected to work on during development as "extras"? Oh, wait, that is exactly what Paradox does, and it's exactly the kind of practice your moronic logic leads to.
>I deserve to receive money for showing up at the office
no
Nobody said that though?
if you don't count cosmetics content, then it shouldn't matter to you at all if it costs couple bucks or not.
like it or not, it still costs money to make that stuff that you don't personally count as content.
just ignore it like normal people do when they see something sold at store that they've no interest in. instead of going full moron about "I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS STUFF BECAUSE IT'S USELESS, BUT I SHOULD GET IT FOR FREE ANYWAY"
>hm yes stuff that is considered basic in any strategy game should be sold
enjoy your 5 bucks shader 🙂
Equating air to video game dlcs, it's chuds like you that don't deserve video games
the other side of this is "who is paying for this shit"
pigs will get burnt just like with imperator then come back for euv, others will learn
I can't wait for controller support DLCs!
Kek, could you kindly buy my game, but i will separate every asset to DLC?
>contrarian attention seeking post

No-one here will engage you fairly because they're all poorgays.
Regardless, shit like this is exactly why Paradox has a bad rep. People don't mind paying for things they feel are adding significant content to the game - I don't play this game but I assume that would fall under things like new buildings, factions, systems, etc. If Paradox were a smart business, they would garner some good will back from their customers by also releasing QOL updates like this for free for everyone. This is just an adjustment to content that already exists in the game.
They should be sending a message that they care about existing customers as much as their whales who buy every piece of shit they release, and that paying for DLC funds development of not just new and shiny things but improvements that everyone can enjoy without being nickel and dimed.
this is cosmetics though. the day/night cycle has no gameplay effect.
Okay? I never talked about cosmetics in my post. Like I say, this is a QOL change that every user could enjoy as it affects existing content.
you don't even know what QOL means you fricking moron
that's cosmetics
Tell me what the acronym QOL stands for
Quantity Over Load
how about you tongue my anus Black person
QOL is related to GAMEPLAY and making GAMEPLAY easier to manage, smoother and less convoluted, like interface tweaks and shortcuts/macros
the OP is about about cosmetics you moronic Black person baboon
>No-one here will engage you fairly because they're all poorgays
Don't pipe up third worlder.
Now this actually makes a lot of sense, and I agree with you.
However, still for whatever reason Paradox chose to charge for it anyway, and I feel it is still well within their rights to do that.
But saying they are wrong for charging for it, shaming them, and expecting it to be free is coming off wrong and "entitled" to me.
Because a fricking day-night cycle is a basic fricking feature games like Sim City 4 have in base game for FREE
That's like making a game where you ask people to buy a DLC for physics, real time shadows or anti-aliasing
mario has jumping, so vic3 should have jumping too
No, your argument is more like insisting a new Mario game should require you to use a Amiibo to play as Luigi.
why shouldn't it? assuming Luigi is cosmetic only.
it's not feature in this case. it's just cosmetics.
you've some artist in your payroll that has no job to do currently so you're paying for them for doing nothing.
so you put them work to do stupid shit like cosmetics and sell that. maybe someone buys that maybe not. still better than paying someone for sitting on their ass whole day browsing facebook.
Paradox is not alone in this, other strategy game devs have this type of behavior, for example this one sells "game engine upgrades" that are essentially glorified patches. Publishers of simulation games are even worse, selling you vehicles one by one at exorbitant prices and even their community is shite with paid mods out of the ass
Paradox map games had day and night cycles since they went 3D, obviously for free
They can do whatever they want but as a customers they can frick off if they think they can sell features that should have been in the game day one to me
These remind me of needing to buy all map packs to play ranked games in Halo 3.
no they haven't. that's only hoi4. it has hourly ticks. the others usually do daily ticks, so a day/night cycle is literally impossible to implement. vic3 has i think it's 4 ticks per day, so they can do it.
Because they pull DLC like this all the time, then the next game is mysteriously missing those features just so they can sell the DLC again.
>Why should it be free?
Who said anything about free? It should be part of the $60 you pay for the game.
it shouldn't because paradoxdrones deserve being milked to the last cent
When you do moronic shit like this?
You just made the entire game free.
Bang up job.
Holy shit mutts are bred and born to be paypigs and nothing else
He right though. You can nothing but an emotional appeal.
logically you should've killed yourself, the only thing thats stopping you is emotional appeal
There is other games that do this and they don't cost $600
my Black person, how the FRICK is it free?if you pay 60€ for this shit its very fair to expect it to have those basic ass features included in the game at day 1, and if they arent the devs could at least have the decency of making qol features free on update (again those features are so fricking basic its outrageous the simple fact it wasnt in the game day 1)
Someone call day/night cycle anon, he'll cream his pants
Isn't that game where "communism is OP"? Apparently communism is not op when its time to exploit redditors who fail to understand why piracy is a matter of necessity at this point. They always first shill them leftist values, then wrap it in monetary exploit.
>larian doesn’t do DLC
>also can’t do day/night cycles
>somehow this is 11/10 worthy whereas selling a product to willing customers is 0/10.
DLC Quest was supposed to be a parody.
Didn't they alerady do that for Cities Skylines? Unless you bought the After Dark expansion you had permanent daylights.
Wouldn't surprise me if they did, city builders publishers are only second to racing games publishers in how much they nicklel and dime their audience
>You get all that in the package when you buy the game
What package? How about i only give you the most barebones game in existence and sell you basically everything afterwards piecemeal? That's what you are asking for by the way.
I'm not asking for anything. I'm telling you why it is like it, and I'm legitimately curious what justifies it being free. Or learn what exactly are you proposing in this case if you don't think it should be free. Because the complaints just don't add up to me.
>How about i only give you the most barebones game in existence and sell you basically everything afterwards piecemeal?
modular games sound like an interesting concept tbh.
i guess if your going to be autistic like you are expansions arr a piecemeal extension and should be free
just pirate it if you want it so bad? what's the problem?
That's what dlc unlockers are for
Most of the time you dont have to even download anything because they're right there in the files
Some moron... actually defending cutting out day and night cycle and selling it in this thread?
Seriously? This is something that was freely in game since at least the early 90's
This HAS to be contrarianism, no living person should be this much of a bootlicker.
should you get payed for the extra work you do or no
None of this goes for the devs, they are paid in hourly wages. This is just skimming milk at this point
Exactly, this is basic shit, like having a main menu, or a UI that is not just times new roman text
anon... where do you think the money for their wages comes from?
From their employers, like any normal company. Software guys see none from this kind of moronation, and they are not the one pushing it
>From their employers, like any normal company
And where does that money come from?
From the magical skyfairy that will make you reply until I cant , so you can do a "gotcha" and somehow feel that justify cutting out a basic function form a fricking game
How in the everloving frick can you justify something that was just a thing in the last 30 years?
Next you gonna say, animating characters is a privilige, and the game that comes in a price of 90 dollar, if you dont pay more, will be with still images.
it's a map game, anon
>None of this goes for the devs, they are paid in hourly wages
guess who pays devs
stop talking out of your ass moron
A day-night cycle is not "extra work", it's a basic fricking feature tons of games have FOR FREE
Would you like to pay a DLC for traffic simulations too?
You should learn how to speak English, moron.
Payed is the new normal now. Language has evolved and adapted to make the ESL inadvertently correct because this is what English speakers use now too.
Games had day and night cycles in the early 80s, the difference is that you bought the game once and got basic shit like day and night cycles for free.
how do you know it was "cut out"
Because unity and almost all game engined comes with built in day night cycle, as its industry standard
alright you have no fricking idea what you're talking about mate
Oh excuse me, someone who thinks day and night cycle is a FRICKING PRIVILIGE TO HAVE INA GAME
Fricking morrowind had it in 2002 frickhead, how do you justify that?
its a map game, anon.
You underestimate how stupid and proudly ignorant the elite has managed to make their american cattle, they would defend their own torture and mutilation
Oh wait, they already do that too
millenials and zoomers replaced god with consoomerism
It's just female behaviour becoming more prevalent.
It is bait.
least israelitey paradox dlc
imo this is imperator rome again
they are just releasing shitty season pass dlc packs asap
excepting "time to move on" blog post after that
go and cope at this shit
https://steamdb.info/developer/Paradox+Development+Studio/
Can't you pirate it?
Idk what Victoria is but all I hear is that it's a complete fricking disaster.
Tell me what Victoria 3 is and everything that's wrong with it.
I wonder how much they can gut out and sell off as DLC content. I imagine the majority of the game.
Rasterized chuddles now need to pay for a day and night cycles. Us raytracing chads are eating good lately.
it's a map game, anon.
good job choosing an image, op. this is actually funny.
>get sick of paradox israeliteing with DLC
>use creamapi
>paradox launcher now says it cannot communicate with steam, but if i click ignore i can still play
I guess my steam account will get killed soon.
Valve doesn't give a shit
It's not worth it for them to start punishing people to satisfy some israeli devs
well as long as my anime girl flag mod doesnt break I'll just ignore the error messages
