Quote from: smilodon;416407This might be the way for a small but committed developer to go. Keep a game in development and continuously improve and bug fix, but periodically add a larger paid update. If an early access game actually works and is playable then what Ark are doing seems fine. At some point they should drop the early access tag and just call it a game, and maybe that point has already come if it's already a stable game. You could argue that Arma and Kerbal have used this approach with the exception of dropping or not using the 'early access' label.

I still worry that with 'Early Access' Valve have created a platform ripe for abuse and that they don't appear to be interested in policing the behaviour of the companies that use it. Ark clearly isn't on of them.

Agree with you smilo. I think Ark will actually ditch the tag one day, and there will be a story of sorts from what I can tell. But in the meantime yep I have no issue with this model. Needing some cash influx every now and then is understandable - it's up to them to make it worthwhile and not create a huge split between haves and have nots. Only if they end up doing that could there be a problem.


Re scorched earth and dMw, as soon as we have a plan in place we will let you guys know :) I am sure we will be exploring the desert naked together soon (that ones for you rogue).

I agree with you Chaosphere. I have played 411 hours in this game, so well worth the money. Last time I played this game was on 30-12-2015 though. But somehow it feels wrong to get a paid dlc on a beta or early access game. It means they spend time on dlc instead of the unfinished original game.

You could also say that some triple A games also sell dlc before the game is actually where it's supposed to be (bf4 is an example), but that doesn't make it right.

If you have continued interest in this game then please consider purchasing this.

At some stage it's *highly* likely we'll be playing this regularly even if we don't fully migrate to it.
