    I actually posted that, and more on the steam forums. Everyone just started a huge flame war. I never reported so any people at once in my life.

    imho the one problem with this is that at some point Uber had to release something like an addon for PA to continue developing it. They cant make free updates for years and years, at some point sales of the base games just are not enough anymore.
    So there were only 2 possible things that could have happen:

    A) Uber releases an addon
    B) Uber stops developing stuff for PA. PA at that point will be like SupCom is since GPG died: A game without developer supporting it.

    I think we're all actually happy that A happened.
    And with this we're actually again before this decision. At some point in the future A will hopefully happen again, because B is always the only alternative to A. And nobody who likes to play PA wants B.

    Good for you. I don't have any other game in my steam library I paid 90$ for. I have games where I paid much less and got free updates. I have games where the base game was 20$ and I bought some DLCs. I am willing to pay for games and for DLC, I am just not willing to pay this much for this DLC, especially after seeing that others get it gifted as a "thank you" for their contribution (which money-wise is sometimes 4 times less than what I paid). It doesn't make sense for me to pay more money in this situation.

    How many games do you have that where worth this kind of money?
    I got PA for 90$, which is a huge price tag. I only paid it because they didn't want to enrage the KS backers, which made sense at that time. Now they get this for free, I am supposed to pay another 13$. No, it is not worth it for me and I think this selective gift is just unfair. That simple.

    Nobody could foresee back then that KS backers would get free DLCs and that steam early access buyers are just second class customers for Uber.

    I can´t see how an DLC which costs 13$ saves the way for more coming Addons....as that would need time

    More importantly, it would need money.

    If Uber makes a ton of money off of this expansion that they just released, then they can afford to release more free updates to it rather than DLCs.

    Well ofc it needs time and I don't say there will be more addons soon, but over the long run it'll be all the same: If PA stays succesful and active you will see more paid content added to it at some point. No way around that.

    It boggles my mind somebody would not rejoice in joy to be allowed to pay Uber 13$ to buy PA: Titans personally but it's okay to be of a different opinion.
    What's sad is that it basically means your separating yourself away from PA's main player community because I am sure the vast majority of players will upgrade and I am sure a lot of fun with pa titan is ahead of the pa community.

    You never needed to pay $90. The game itself was never more than $40. Anything above this amount was to get access to the game before the release date.

    Sorry that I don't enjoy paying 103$ for a game + DLC (which partly should be in the base game and which others get for free). Yes I will not get back into the game, will not rejoin the ladder and not play any future tournament. But that is not that sad, there are other games out there. It just hurts a little to be threated that way after spending so much money and putting faith in the early access, while others are threated differently.

    i realy hate to say it but .. that´s ... your opinion ..

    yes THEY didn´t want to piss KS backers off ..

    however i personaly couldn´t care less if you buyed into alpha, beta or retail to be honest ..
    it was ultimately your own decision ..
    if i were in your position and hadn´t backed the game i would have easily waited till release for a sale and accepted the addon as it is ...

    why did you buy into alpha? why not wait?

    And your point is? I paid this amount to play at the same point as the KS 90$ backers. I needed to pay this money to get this reward. I got less commanders than they got (which is fine, I didn't complain about that). Now they get the DLC for free + the 20$ backers too. And I am supposed to pay another 13$? It never said that the KS backers get an additional DLC which I have to pay for.

    My reason for paying 90$ was the same reason as for many 90$ KS backers: To get PA early and play it early. Why do I have to defend this decision?

    So you paid a high price because you didn't want to wait.
    Your decision. It was clear you could have waited to pay a lower price.

    290$ here and in the same boat! People shouldn't expect free stuff when free stuff was never promised to them.
