Higher price for new DLC

[the 1st wasted]

In an attempt to convince TWI to create a new ethnically divers DLC including new voices, would you be willing to pay a higher price?

I am thinking along the lines of characters from Pakistan, India, China, etc.

Depends.

I'd be willing to pay more for a new DLC, but probably not for another pack of player models I'm never gonna use.
Maybe if you add the fat, drunk German bastard I'm in.

But, of course, the DLC shouldn't cost more than the actual game. ^^

I think the present DLC is fine. It's inexpensive enough to be a perfect birthday gift, without being something massively game-altering.

They should have an Indian tech support guy character. On his shirt will have tripwire's forum address/"Go *****(FemaleDog) There" and on front of shirt will say "Not available, Thank you come again!"

Well it really depends what's in the DLC. It shouldn't be game-altering in anyway, it should be cosmetic purposes only. I don't know about new voices because TWI have already stated on multiple occasions why they won't include new voices into the game (performance issues and the current engine).

I love this idea.

I wouldn't pay more for the _current_ dlc unless the packs were really good.

As is, i've bought about 7 paks of the DLC for friends and most of them only have 1 that I like. I perfer Mr. Foster and year, that's who i'm using.

If it was a bit more then just player models then i'de do it but s of now, probably not.

I wouldn't refuse to buy one though if they upped the prices and I liked the content.

I'd spend

lets say 5 people run killing floor development... dlc costs 1 dollar, lets say it took 5 hours total to make the dlc. lets say 100,000 people buy dlc. that leaves 100,000 dollars for the staff to split which comes out to 20 grand for each employee which comes out to 4000 dollars an hour if my math is right, if it isnt dont mind me its been a while since my last math class. now these figures might be a bit off but they are a good representation regardless. they do paint a picture. paying more for dlc just to do so is stupid even if it does support the company. i paid for 3 character packs i think just because i bought them with killing floor thinking they werent just skins, looking back i wouldnt have paid for them again but i dont feel like i wasted the money because it was only 2-3 bucks.

I think your estimate of 100,000 purchases is a bit far-fetched considering the average daily peak player count is around 2.5k. Nonetheless, they could still make some nice money.

for sure which was my point. my numbers were purely an example.

Except for the dodgy spelling of "mum" i thought that was a decent post.

But seeing as my good mate Olivier gifted me the last 2 DLCs, i'd be willing to pay for more, provided it's not on a weekly basis.

Re-Higher Price for DLC

I wouldn't mind paying around the $5 Mark if they were a little more unique then they are now. Maybe even more if there were gun re-skins as someone mentioned above.

Where I come from, we use ''mom'' not ''mum'', ''friend'' not ''mate'', etc.

If it comes with new voices, then they would have to pay the voice actors, recording studio costs, etc, the Devs have mentioned this several times in other posts. That is the justification / reasoning for the higher cost.

P.S.
I like your Avatar.

I SAID MARK IT ZERO!!!

cheaper more frequent dlc rakes in way more money than more expensive less frequent dlc. this has always been true its just easier for a company to justify a price increase when they see how their profit margins get affected they usually aren't patient enough to wait for the more funds over time approach usually. if something costs literally "pocket change" people will buy it just because it was cheap and when the next dlc comes they will buy that too for the same reason people rarely think of how it can accumulate.

thank you. best movie ever. by far the best work from john goodman and one of the best for jeff bridges and the rest of the cast. everything was perfect for the type of movie it was. and the end was ****ing priceless

That is a valid point. I would just realy like to have an Asian guy for when I play as a zerker.

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Undedd Jester]

7 quid? that's like, half of KF's price.

i'de pay like 4-5 CAD for it depending on how many there were in the pack.

If the pack was large though, i'de think about paying 10.

I always felt I only payed
