I’m sorry, but could you direct me to the loot boxes, dlc and pay to win options for this game I seem to have missed them.
I dunno if anyone here played Ark, I did, I drank that koolaid on day one. THAT game did in fact do all that you listed above, which is probably why I am far more patient with Dayz. Ark never delivered in their promises and to this day when they rush their updates and hotfixes out they almost always break the game. I’m ok waiting on this team trying to get it right. Adding content to the game that already existed in previous iterations is part of that testing process.
I paid for this game as well, and at no point do I feel entitled to make demands from anyone. I knew what I was getting into, especially purchasing it during game preview. Ark single handedly made me gun shy about ever buying a game that was in preview, but then I remembered Elite:Dangerous, I got that in preview and it was a long road to where the game is today but the game is solid and did deliver on its promise. Some of these studios don’t have Microsoft $ behind them, and while you cry about paying for the game maybe you should look at costs associated with making that game, they need the $ to finish a project we are lucky to have on Xbox, for quite some time it didn’t look like we’d even get this game On console.
