Holly hell, so this is the norm nowadays. I'll never again buy or touch anything Klei makes. I don't care that it's just a visual thing, but this is one of the lamest and cheapest way to expect to make money out of a game. Awful. I mean, the alternative is that we be at the mercy of the market to decide the price of skins... Spoiler Just Winona's body piece goes upward to $20. $12.99 for skins sets for 12 characters (maybe even more in the future) is insane. That's almost a dollar for a skin set. Now imagine if you had to buy every warrior skin off the market. Something tell's me that's going to total maybe just a little over $12.99. Just maybe. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This worries me for different reasons. $12.99 for 13 skins (heads, dunno if there are body pieces included). So about $1 per skin. If these skins are marketable they'll go for around $1. Up or down a bit. Which kinda makes the $2.99 unviable for Klei. Seeing as they drop as well it seems like they would be marketable.

Devon Aster Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Whaaa..? Did an email announcement not go out for this? The last one I got was for the Xbox preorder =( . Haven't kept up on the news for quite a while, as I'm not a fan of DST and don't own other gaming consoles. Just happened to see this referenced elsewhere. It'll be interesting to see what the Hamlet DLC will have in store! I'll have to make sure and put it on my Wishlist! Might check out the Shipwrecked beta stuff as well. It's been a bit since I've played in that mode. Good to see single-player getting some love again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillvr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 29 minutes ago, Shyrokaya said: how ? By "playing the beta" they mean the shipwreckedbeta branch. Here's how to play it yourself: In Steam, click on Library > Games. Scroll down to Don't Starve. Right-click and select Properties. Go to the BETAS tab. Type in the beta access code "shipwreckedbeta" then click "Check Code" After that click the "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" and a dropdown list will appear, then select "beta - new update for Shipwrecked". In that same Properties window, go to the Local Files tab and press "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache." Your game will be updated to the the new branch. Launch and play Don't Starve. I hope that helps, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty normal to have no e-mail about this, the most recent thing is forge in november (so not soon). SW content is still in beta, Hamlet for DS in next year, email are better for things that will come soon. (next weeks, things like this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleBreathing Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Will the Hamlet DLC be free for people who own Don't Starve + Reign Of Giants DLC + Shipwrecked DLC + Don't Starve Together ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I don't think so. I also don't see why it should. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 @Devon Aster, you can follow Don't Starve on Steam (top right-ish, below "Store Page") and receive news updates in your Home/Activity feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillvr Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hello @TroubleBreathing, welcome to the forums. Afaik the Hamlet DLC will have a price since it's a DLC akin to RoG and SW although the devs haven't released any information about pricing, expect it to be around the same value as the other DS DLCs if not more. Cause if it were free, they would have already said so like how they've actually done for the other free content (i.e. shipwrecked and the forge). If however you are looking for handouts of the DLC simply because you have every other DS game, personally I highly doubt something like what happened to DST before (where buyers of DS before a certain date gets DST for free) to also happen here. Feel free to wait for a response from the developers themselves if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but I rarely keep Steam signed in and open. On the other hand, I check my email at least a couple times a day, which is why I've remained signed up to receive news that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) @Devon Aster, yeah, I'm a bit confused by their choices in communication recently. Winona was announced via email, but not here on the forums, now this far greater announcement is kept on the forums and Steam instead. edit: I mean, yeah, they already said that Winona was coming, The Forge and Hamlet aren't available yet, and they probably only want more dedicated players in the beta for feedback and bug fixing, but it still seems a little weird to me.

The one thing that's immediately available in this announcement is the beta of the Shipwrecked content, and it makes sense that they'd want to announce that to people who are active on the forums and therefore probably already in the habit of giving them feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainmcd Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 @Rellimarual, yep, I edited my comment. I still find it weird that there was no (pre-)announcement for Winona or XBox on the forums, it's where I look first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahlsen Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 This is a really big surprise. You know I was reading articles about how the video game industry is slowly transforming into a big gambling machine with only money in mind through psychological exploits and the likes, I hope you guys realise that you're at the other end of this sad spectrum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fimmatek Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 What I'm really curious about is: why Don't Starve: Hamlet ??? RoG, SW and Together are all names that reflect a main property of the game/dlc and speak for themselves. So why is this new world Hamlet? Maybe it is the name of someone (an ancient, a pig, or something else)? Or Wilson will die for the good cause? (Oh wait, he already died in the trailer...) Will there be some other similarities with Shakespeare's drama in the storyline, a role, an action or a scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
