It's fine. It actually comes with a free level 90 as well, which typically is priced higher than what this expansion costs. Not a bad deal all things considered.
This is a "why you shouldn't freak the fuck out on twitter 101". Now, no matter what he does to try and hide it his name will be associated with all of this. All because he had a tantrum on Twitter and was a fucking moron.
Honestly I mostly feel bad for the rest of the people in that company. They basically got fucked because of what this one dude did. Imagine pouring countless hours into a project only for it to go to shit because your braindead owner decided to give a death threat (serious or not) to the head of the largest digital distribution platform on PC.
The thing is too I could be a bit more empathetic with the guy if he wasn't continually trying to dig himself deeper and deeper into a hole. At least Fish ended up deleting his twitter.
Maybe they just think it's a more interesting game to cover? Not to mention with TI4 there is a ton of excitement about the game right now.
And anyways just because a game is popular doesn't mean its popular among enthusiasts or people who cover games. WoW was (and still is) really popular, but most people who play a lot of games seem to have stopped playing it or caring. The same thing may have happened with league.
I just don't really care. The pros far outweigh the cons for me.
Plus I remember, as a kid, sometimes losing my CD Key to a game. That sucked. I did eventually organize stuff better -- but even then it often times involved just taping a piece of paper with the key to the CD.
With digital distribution (steam, in this case) all I have to do is remember my account. It's super fucking useful.
And really, in the end, I don't really give a shit if in 20 years this stuff crashes and burns. Worst case Scenario is I just pirate the games I had owned that went under.
I mean, Far Cry: Blood Dragon was technically a "total conversion" mod for Far Cry 3.
I feel like I'd much rather support interesting smaller projects like Blood Dragon that don't require the main game than something that does though, if i'm paying for it.
