And I have to wonder how much of this model might be because they've obviously taken a financial bath on Deathgarden. Which also makes me wonder if this might not be the new event model moving forward. Right now, DBD is the only cash cow they can milk.
I don't mind them milking DBD as a cash cow, especially if their primary method of milking us for money is by releasing more killers. I feel like pulling a stunt like this is a bad direction, though.
I was talking about stunts like this. I don't personally consider KIller/Survivor DLCs as milking. That's why I specifically wondered about "event model," in my post.
I immediately thought about the DeathGarden thing too...
Yeah, their Killer/Survivor DLC's can not be considered milking at all and their pricing is pretty fair... What bothers me is for the amount they are asking for a whole Chapter DLC (7$) you can't buy one complete "very rare" set for ONE character. So what this shows is adding a new fancy skin is more valued than actually creating a new killer, new gameplay mechanics, new survivor, 6 new perks and new map. Even if some (quite a lot, actually) of their skins are indeed awesome, ALL of them are incredibly overpriced... And 65$ paywall for getting all the REMAINING skins from this EVENT alone is ridiculous... That is more than what you pay for a whole triple A title, c'mon!
In my opinion, they would honestly benefit more from all the hype of having people actually sticking around for the whole 2 weeks and try to unlock stuff like crazy (EVEN IF they make it impossible to unlock everything unless you're playing MORE than 24/7) than making it so it takes roughly 1 or 2 days to get the whole set you can get for the whole event and then stop playing at all. Would be smart, would (probably) bring more new people to the game since this game DID grow a lot on a mouth-to-mouth basis, hence more people who potentially will spend money or cosmetics... An exponential amount of recquired vials to unlock cosmetics would be fair, I think... Some people were talking about 30/50/100/200 vials for unlocking full sets... I'd be down for that... Heck... Make it 30/60/120/240 or even 30/100/200...
