''The Culling has recently entered Early Access, but there’s one major issue the store page fails to make clear.
It’s core core concept is simple enough. Players are set loose on a island and tasked with killing everyone in sight.''
Interview with Josh Van Veld of Xaviant about the return to Xbox One, Monetization and what's changed within the game for this release.
Disgraceful business practice. The game deserves to fail and it's guaranteed to. You keep patting yourself on the back there Josh but this game wont be making a "comeback" a third time.
You know what's bizzare - their monetization makes lootboxes seem not that bad. I mean, at least you'll be playing the game. Maybe that was the goal?
The idea is out there now, so everyone needs to start watching out for it. If it ever shows up in another game, the community must come together and make it clear that gamers do not want it. It’s the only way we’ll all be able to continue enjoying our online games like we always have.
Sad as it is, you already know someone is going to be dumb enough to defend this pay per match nonsense.
What's next? Pay-per bullet, pay-per ammo refill, Pay-per distance traveled?
I won't even say anymore in gest, don't want to give them ideas
LOL, I've been screaming this since the introduction of MT. This is what you get when people spend billions on cosmetics and xp boosters.
Yeah, anyone with common sense could have seen stuff like this coming.
But the problem is enough people kept defending MT and making excuses for them. Even as things got/get worse, you'll still find people defending it.
I keep telling people, your words mean nothing, your wallet means everything. People need to speak with their money and not their mouths.
The Culling: Origins is getting relaunched on Xbox on May 14th, but with a new pay-to-play system for online matches.
"pay to play", that's some serious anti-consumer garbage right there. "the new monetisation approach is curious." yeah that's one way to put it.
Wow, that is some next level scummy and dumb honestly. How is the player base ever going to grow with something like this in place? This one deserves to die.
What the f... That is absolutely outrageous and I really hope this fails. FFS
And this is exactly why developers need to stop trying to rush things through steam. Leave out one bit of info and the while thing backfires completely on them.
It has "very positive" for user reviews on Steam so not sure what this article is talking about.
