        It’s funny how people will chant “vote with your wallet” but when someone votes against business practices they don’t agree with using their wallet they’re all surprised pikachu about it.

        Charging per quest in a micro transaction scheme (which isn’t really micro at a $10 entry fee) is shitty and I don’t want to support it by pumping their gameplay numbers right after announcing it.

    Its worse than that. They added an entire questline, gave you the first quest, and then charged 7 dollars per quest!

      Howards gone off the rails. He’s a corpo hack. Always was, but now he can shed the leather jacket and McDuck dive into his pool of Creation Coins with no shame.

      $7, but you a only spend $10 at a time! It ain’t gonna be 10 quests or 5 quests. It’s gonna be like 3 or six so you’ll be left with $9 in coins and feel like you’re wasting cash if you don’t spend another $10 to buy some other creation club shit.

      God I fucking hate the premium currency tactic.

        Who knows? It’s an early access paid mod, meaning they only did the first two quests, and promised more.
