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.
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 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
Remember the Battle Royale called The Culling which was released on March 4, 2016? Well, the Culling’s developer, Xaviant has announced that the game will shut down in May. However, the offline mode will be still available after that date but the Battle Royale and offline features will close.
Sadly, the reasoning behind Xaviant’s decision of closing the Battle Royale is that the player count was really low which lead to problems because you need money to run online servers and maintain them. Xaviant also announced that if any team is interested in making something of The Culling, then they are more than welcome.
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.
So in other words, this game needs to be culled.
