That one line seems like it might in reference to that incident with Spacebase DF-9. Sounds like a useful warning. I always wondered if funding development through EA sales were allowed. I guess it is, at the developers' own risk.
@stealthmaster86: Still my point stands. It has reached messiah levels of fanboyism and it rubs me the wrong way. EA has done some good stuff for the costumers as well which gets swept under the rug as PR moves and this kind of stuff is awesome on their part but it creates this skewed image in the minds of people that CDPR is out there looking out for the gamers. How many times have you read the ''CDPR is the only company that cares about the gamers'' sentiment? Like I said for gamers it's an emotional scale that tips extremely on the both sides depending on however they feel about various issues. Companies either truly care about the folk or they are money hungry, evil companies owned by Satan.
@stealthmaster86: Then why even bother seperating that from the free game. The only reason I can come up with it because then you can't call that ''Free DLC''. It's not free at all, you paid for that already.
They have been pretty generous with their content which, don't get me wrong, I appreciate but people hold CDPR to high regard when they give out free stuff and make EA or Ubisoft out to be the worst company ever when they ask money for their product. One of the top comments in the reddit thread about how CDPR is filled with genuinely good people and how they care about the gamers and some other bullshit. Typical gamer mentality, holding people and various entities to either extreme highs or extreme lows with no level in between.
@spitz1000: No they are not. But they know people like free shit and playing exactly the right cards to appeal to that audience. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but people seem to have this idea that it's bad for companies to want money for their products. Just because they give out free DLC does not make them a good company. It just makes people like them more and end up fanning the flames of the ''DAE EA'' circlejerk.
I mean think about it, isn't the concept of piecemeal DLC considered an exploitative method because you are just pulling stuff out of your full game and selling it in tiny pieces? If the DLC is free why even pull that out of the full game and make it free? It's the same thing done in the opposite way. But instead of making money they are getting goodwill.
