Rome 1 came out nearly a decade ago, games have changed a bit since then. This games are more expensive to make and companies always want to maximise their profits. It's shit but pre ordering games and stuff like that only encourages publishers to do more of this shit.
FYI guys, Green Man Gaming is currently offering the preorder with DLC for 25% off.
DLC shit with Empire? What DLC did it even have? Some scenario crap and some special units, IIRC. Who cares?Also, just gonna mention this again for the benefit of anyone currently considering preordering:
Thoug I did make a solemn oath to myself to never buy another TW game after some DLC shit they pulled with Empire.
Don't forget the Indian factions being on a DLC.
That falls under "scenario crap". Wasn't it on a separate campaign?
And yet, there you are. Which is why publishers and devs won't stop this nickle and diming bullshit for stuff that should be in the game in the first place. Because people are still willing to pay for it. I can't wait until they make consumers pay for patches (even more than they already are I mean). I give it 5 years or so.
Yeah, but empire is where they started DLCs. The Indian factions was reasonable because u couldnt really fit them in to the main campaign but the extra factions and unit packs is a bit much.

I think a little sooner.
That seems like an idiotic thing to do, PR-wise. Would have been a hell of a lot better to include Ranger mode in the base game, charge 5 more dollars for the game, and give preorders a 10% discount to make up for it. Pretty much the same result but much less potential for drama. Same goes for RTW2, really. I don't get why they don't just include all the DLC shit in base game (or make them free DLC like Pontus if adding them to the release version is difficult at this stage) and give preorders a discount. It's a way more up-front way to achieve the same effect.
