Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. I will only pay what I am willing to pay, not what Firaxis would like me to pay.Civilization VI offers new ways to engage with your world: cities now physically expand across the map, active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, and competing leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race for one of five ways to achieve victory in the game. Wanting the maximum discount you can get is not "loyalty", it is self interest, just as wanting to maximise profit is. Firaxis are not interested in my custom whilst there are more lucrative opportunities. I bought deluxe and have no intention of buying either expansion until I can get it at 50% off. Firaxis are simply focusing on maximising their short term profit.
CIVILIZATION VI DLC SALE FULL
If you have not bought any DLC so far then even if Firaxis do a good deal for you it is unlikely you will pay the full price for the new expansion anytime soon. So what evidence is there for Firaxis to conclude you are a "loyal" customer and worth pursuing?Īs I commented in my previous post, the gold edition is clearly intended to get new players to buy everything released so far, realise the game needs more, and pay full price for the new expansion. But you have not gone on to buy anything else although the civ + scenario bundle and R&F have been discounted in sales for several months. It is called capitalism and is the economic system in effect throughout the world we live in. I paid full price for Civ V and its expansions but swear I will never do that again - so I won't touch R&F or GS until they drop to a 50% discount.įiraxis exists to make as much money as possible for its owners/shareholders. To me, it doesn't feel like an apropriate way to treat your fanbase, nor is it logical pricing.ĭon't get me wrong, I have no liking for the way Firaxis price their Civ games. I paid about 60$ just for the base game upon release, and now i'm expected to pay 40$ more for the rest of the content. Mind you, players who only now buy Civ pay about 40$ and get the base + rise and fall + civs. I would have expected Firaxis to act fairly towards their loyal fanbase who bought the base game at first, instead of pulling a stunt that forces them to pay the same ammount of money for less content. It isn't like it costs twice as much just because you already have the base game though and if you haven't bought any DLC before now why should they do you any favours?
So they want to move new buyers straight to wanting the new expansion and aren't that interested in anyone who hasn't bought the DLC already. Not much though.įiraxis/2K are really after selling the new expansion, that is where they make the most profit per unit assuming no-one buys the rest without a sale discount. Gold is actually just less than the civ and scenario bundle + R&F, by less than 2 euro in the current sale.
If you own the base game - you need to pay more to get just the DLCs. Microchip님이 먼저 게시:The case is that Civ 6 Gold Edition costs LESS than just the DLCs (Rise and Fall + Civs).
