Wait until they sell your ***, your opinion might change.
Huh?
The KF community has been whining for a female character for years and a separate company has ponied up the money to develop, build, and release that feature. Do I particularly like that Iceberg is requiring a full purchase of the game? Nope. But is this TWI's fault? Nope. But that isn't stopping what looks like the majority of the KF-verse complaining about TWI and their "money hungry" actions.
So I'd like to thank the KF community for their behavior and to point out that such reaction is sure to prevent ANY OTHER COMPANY from developing similar features for KF as well.
I don't follow.
People have a right to express their views if it's done in a respectable manner.
are you mentally handicapped? how do you not understand that it's not the features everyone is mad about, it's the distribution method, so if anything, they won't try to pull crap like this again.
poosh said:TWI, you've raged the community like a noob, who naded the Scrake.
It's more like this.
Are you? How do you not understand that this thread is about people misunderstanding the situation and accusing TWI of ripping of their customers and making them pay full price for a single char. That is not what is happening
Because it's really hard to understand that you're buying Killing Floor. And you're buyin the 6 DLC character packs. And you're buying the female character. The Gold Box is a full game plus DLC. That's what people are buying if/ when they buy the Gold Box.
I just don't get how some people with the game are "ok, I'll just buy it and gift the other stuff away" and others are "omg, I already have that ****, I'm getting ripped off." Gift it or don't buy it. Either way, more female characters are on the way in the future.
As you said: premium price to HAVE IT NOW. Cheaper price to wait and buy it later. Like choosing shipping when you buy something online. You can pay $30 to get it tomorrow or the day after, or go with free shipping, but wait 1-2 weeks.
Of course they do. This thread is about people BLAMING TWI or ACCUSING TWI of doing this to rip off their customers. Which TWI isn't doing.

Case in point
Of course the female char will be available in a DLC at a later time. Making the new stuff available for a higher price in a premium package at first is a standard business practice. So you can't download the new chick char immediately. Waah. You'll get over it. Iceberg is simply trying to maximize the return on their time and investment.
I'm guessing that TWI entered into an agreement with Iceberg that minimized their possible losses. Iceberg separately created and developed the char on their dime and TWI gets paid for their testing and other services with new licenses. That way TWI has to put up an absolute minimum of capital up front and they can see how this arrangement will work and if it turns a profit. If this experiment does turn a significant profit for both companies, then look for TWI to contract out additional work for requested features. Of course if everyone complains for every wrong reason and continues to call TWI the greatest evil since one hour martinizing, expect TWI to say screw it and give KF the attention every other game company gives a three year old game based on an old and obsolete gaming engine.
This could turn out so well for EVERYONE yet many people can't get over the immature disappoint of (GASP) NOT GETTING A FEMALE CHAR IMMEDIATELY and simply strike out at the company that is actually making this happen. "I WANT WHAT I WANT AND WHEN I WANT IT AND HOW I WANT IT IF I DON'T GET IT EXACTLY THAT WAY THEN I AM GOING TO COMPLAIN LIKE TWI HAS A GUN TO MY DOG'S HEAD."
It is nothing like that. There are so many differences between buying a car and wanting new headlights (WTF?) and a new char first available in a full purchase of a game that I'm not even going to start to list them.
Im interested in RO2 at all, was not earlier, and even more im not now. Im here becouse of KF, becouse i like THIS game not other products of TRI. And as long im still liking KF i dont give a crap what others say about it.I fully agree, they've suddenly become the worst dev in history according to some but that's not my view.
