Arron114 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Its a few quid that aint it for what was essentialy marketed at a free game. its now close to £100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dauntless Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Honestly the pricing on this game is mental. It costs £75 for all content in the first 6 months only! PC games normally cost £25-30 and you play online forever for free. I am willing to bet that after those 6 months there is another pass for the next 6 months for another £75 and then it goes on.

Runny Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah, that's nuts. I was expecting DLC to be reasonable. But instead you have to pay more than a full game to make this a full game. Oh well...still gonna try it. Maybe I'll be singing a different tune once I actually play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free + Microtransaction-ish model is great but this is pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yea i was dissapointed by the pricing from the start, they did say they were going for "microtransactions" kind of model, but there is nothing micro about this "macrotransactions" =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Chimpanzee Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yah I think I may only buy one pack and leave it at that. Still thinking though. Not sure how likely these will all be on sale since they feel 99$ is such an amazing price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluWolve Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What do you mean the pricing is bad? It is excellent value, considering by buying two premium civs you pay $50 AUD and can get the full 1000 GS, plus at the moment you get the first DLC free. It is $125 AUD here in Australia for the season pass which you get the two premium civs already out, the first DLC plus there should be another two premium civs and who knows how much extra DLC. I admit that might seem a bit expensive, but for the amount of content you get it is a pretty sweet deal. Or if thats too much for you, you can just buy one prem civ or play for free. Some people just complain about everything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theratis Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Some people just complain about everything.... Some fanboys defend just about everything I mean come on, even the decorations for your capital city are $7.50. If I want plants and statues, that's $15. This is stuff that should be $2.50 tops.
