Pay To Play?


Recommended Posts

It's not a pay to play game. 

Buying the game for its original price to then play it, isn't what pay-to-play refers to.

 

Pay-to-play tends to refer to games that force you to do additional payments if you want to continue the game and extremely limit all content to payments.

This is not one of 'em.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the trial on Chrome, but I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Is there no longer a trial for the Chrome version, or has there been some sort of misunderstanding regarding the intent behind the trial itself?

 

Don't starve is full game, like the type of games you'd typically find sold on Steam, XBLA, or PSN. The trial is (was? I can't check if the Chrome version still has a trial, and I'm pretty sure there has never been a trial version outside of Chrome) intended to just be a demo. You play it to get a small taste of the game, and if you like what you see, you buy it so you can play the full version. That's how it's always been.

Not only did I buy it late and had to pay full price, but have no special title or reward either. That written, I bought this game once, and have the full version and all the free updates for  months I have played it since it was bought just once. 

 

As noted, it's a pay once, NOT a "freemium" or "pay to win/play" game in any way shape or form. 

 

Even the (future) Downloadable content is optional, and the company flies in the face of conventional game maker "tradition" actually listening to game player feedback and incorporating updates from said feedback for FREE for six months since the game's release. 

 

 

Respectfully, many a "AAA game company" releases a game not completely done, full of bugs and any "updated corrections" are THEN released as "extra premium downloadable content" which is (more often than I like to admit) really the feedback and bug fixes that community had made vocal...assuming the companies even LISTEN to their community base outside of "releasing the next game in their lineup" as "feedback." 

 

 

So have no clue what you meant when you listed this as a Pay to Play Game. besides mentioning an old no longer used Chrome release.
