Fortnite skins can cost about the same (uncommon suit is about 2000 which translates to 20 How much money does fortnite generate on skins Fortnight generates 'Fortnight Money' on skins. Basically it has turned Epic games into an industry powerhouse with so much money they built a new delivery platform for PC gaming and have been successfully bribing incentivizing many developers to move games to the Epic store.
They frequently clear over 100 million in revenue per month.

Dammit, people are so easy. Small wonder all the publishers/devs go for this kind of crap.

Because you don't know how much the shards cost in real money. For all you know 2k shards might be £5... Also micro transactions keep games fresh. I need things to spend my money on. The fact it's a paid game has nothing to do with it from my perspective. I'd rather have new stuff every week I can choose to buy if I want to then nothing at all. What would you have them do, keep releasing stuff for free? So by your definition once I've bought my car, every time s new gadget comes out for it I should get it for free because I bought the car? The game developers are working on the game constantly. It doesn't get released then the skin's magically appear. How would they get paid for their work? Are you angry cos you you're young and don't have a job yet? I don't understand the problem. Lol do you know that there's a such thing as DLC and expansions. You know meaningful content. Instead they want to nickle and dime the player base with new color schemes and logos that may cost a 3rd of the retail price. I'm angry because I'm young. Haha I'm 28 years old and work as an EMT. The problem is a 60 dollar game shouldn't be nickle and diming their player base.

You’ll just be paying to receive it quicker.

I personally have no issue with warframe, as it's free to play. If anthem was a free to play game 20 bucks for some skins wouldn't matter. Hell I spent about a 100 bucks on warframe once they released nekros. It's when a game is 60 bucks from the start when MTX becomes an issue, especially when the MTX could possibly be 3rd of the original price of the game itself.

I'm sure there will be some free DLC like guns and some odd mission and then there will be large paid expansions that are not "DLC proper" or some shit

Also...has many pointed out by other people this is a shitty tactic to make it look like they are listening to us or that we are getting a deal or something when the game is released
How do I know?
I worked for a company who this very same shit every two weeks
Give them no quarter, do not allow them to con you.

And are you aware there's tons of DLC planned for Anthem and it's all FREE! Yes free. So this is how the Devs will make their money. Key word "planned". That depends on how the game performs. MEA underperformed and despite any DLC prelaunch promises, all post launch content was canceled. The game could be bought for 20 bucks less than two months after launch and even that didn't generate enough interest. Battlefront 2 underperformed and all the promised post launch support suddenly went at 5x lower speed. The game dropped to 5 dollars on sale only a few months after launch. Just look at the road maps. We are not even there on content that was supposed to be delivered in mid 2018. At least BF2 is an MTX cash cow so it didn't get scrapped like MEA. Titanfall 2, which is an amazing game, got screwed by EA on launch and you could get the game for 5 bucks in about 2-3 months after launch and it's post launch content is barely worth mentioning. In a couple of months after Anthem launches you might also see the game selling for 5 bucks if EA is not happy with it. In about that time we can start talking about the free upcoming content. Let's hope there will be lots of it.

Cowards. Bioware and EA. Cut and run cowards. They WILL bail on anything they deem not profitable enough. It doesn't even matter if something breaks even or make a little bit of money. That shit ain't good enough. They will ditch your ass and scuttle your entire studio.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they managed to fix that in a week, because that needed a patch. They'd need to patch a 6 week old version. But for rolling it out to public it might actually be worth it.

Now if that includes a patch made in the last week, who knows. But it wouldn't be impossible to write a fix for the demo branch.

My internet is slow as hell. I would need to update the game asap to be able to play tomorrow evening.

Let's hope there will be lots of it. Very good points. It doesn't change the argument tho. The facts are, the skin prices are unknown. The developer has said there is free DLC in the works. Those are cold hard facts. You're speculating based on previous titles. I admit I'm a little worried, still though, my point stands.

I didn't get far enough in the test to know if there are snipers or guns with scopes, did anyone see anything like that? Honestly, some of the combat I went through leaves me with more doubt... I went up on a hillside, and lobbed grenades down on unsuspecting AI, who mostly just stood around and didn't seem to know what to do.
In another spot, I found a piece of terrain to hide behind and slowly chew away at the the armor of one of the boss units, and I couldn't seem to get shot by any of the enemy. Once the boss was down, all the subordinate units vanished, as it was the end of the mission.
The skepticism is real.
