It’ll be out in 2026, and Starbreeze are being upfront with the fact it’ll be a games-as-a-service-type game.
I’m wondering why WotC are so committed to making plans that are so anti-consumer?
You’d figure they’d want to build back good will after the last year, but every move they make seems to just dig deeper into the “fuck you, give us more money” pit.
Q: why WotC are so committed to making plans that are so anti-consumer
A: fuck you, give us more money
I think you nailed it.
When the rest of Hasbro’s business is tanking, they need to exploit the one property that is still making money.
CEO doesn’t care for d&d or nerds.
Because shareholders are the real customers.
I don’t want to make a “lifetime commitment” to a game, I’ve already tried that with my ex-wife.
GaaS, GTFO.
I can just play legend of Zelda through Skyrim. Or I’ll just learn actual DnD and not have to subscribe to shit.
I would literally rather pay humans to attend my games than GaaS
Try Solasta. D&D ruleset, 4-player multi, 3 campaigns from devs and tons of custom content since there’s an official campaign builder tool
I love Solasta. It doesn’t have quite the same narrative depth and player agency as (the first half of) Baldur’s Gate 3, but I think it’s a far better simulator of tabletop D&D. The mod support is awesome.
I guess I’ll be up front with having zero interest in playing a GaaS game lol
Nooooo, I have enough after payday 3
Don’t forget what happened to Overkill’s The Walking Dead
