Well in a game a lot oriented towards multiplayer it can bring some problems. Will the dlc only usable when your opponents have it to ? In a game where you can play 5vs5 it wouldn't be very smart. On the contrary, if it's usable all the time, won't it give too much advantage over those who didn't bought it ? To be on the same level as those who will buy dlc we'll have to buy it too ?

Does someone know how it will be handled with SoaSE ?

It wouldn't work like that with Demigod. You'd be able to play in games with all of the content, you just wouldn't be able to use it unless you paid for it.

It was just talked about here and there.

I am all for it as long as long as things are balanced correctly.

As described in the post linked by Chirmaya and xthetenth's post, no problem. Granted, I'd like the bundle as early as possible, but that's just 'cause I'm impatient.

Wtf?

Hate those little boosterpacks. A few years ago it was a matter of course that the developers supplied their community with extra content which was free!

Did I really pre ordered a game which is made by an EA like company? I hope not.

I'm a fan of micro-expansions, then I can cherrypick just the parts that I want without having to buy everything. The trick is making sure the price and the amount/perceived value of content match. Originally, if I recall correctly, Bethesda messed up and over-charged for horse armor in Oblivion and later it came down to a more reasonable amount.

I'm also a fan, as Kitkun is, of releasing bundles at some point.

When was free extra content a matter of course? Hardly ever that I can recall and certainly not a "matter of course". Though Stardock does have a history (GalCiv I/II and now SoaSE) of providing a lot of value after the initial purchase, I don't expect them or any company to keep adding significant new content in for free.

i'm willing to pay, for, maybe $3 per demigod, or well 3 for $10 plus some other things but not if we only have 8 to start with.  Should be getting more than 8 for the $45.

I'm a fan of micro expansions, but i think there is a lot I can get for free, and i don't like overpriced ones.

I don't care if a Demigod costs $100,000 to make.   their not worth $10 each or something because of that.

So at the end (in 1 or 2 years) you will have paid around 120$ just for one game?

If they will really put out new demigod just for money, I will sell my copy of Demigod. EA policy ftw

 I don't know what to make of this. Wasn't this suppose to be a project for competitive play ( tournaments etc. ) ?

 I don't like the idea of having to buy demigods only to be able to know their weaknesses and see what they are capable of. For a competitive play, having to buy the armies of the opposition doesn't sound too good to me.

 I should be able to know each demigod in the game to be able to make a decent strategy with my clan. Having to buy all demigods to stay competitive.....

And what if I want to use all demigods? In game mode, where you get random demigods (don´t like lame ap mode) you will get sooner or later all demigods.

I don´t want to focus on only a few demigods.

Well, I will just cancel the pre order. Didn´t know that Stardock is part of EA.

An expansion pack would be nicer. It looks less like ripping people off.

But one pro of microtransactions is, indeed, you get to choose which demigod to buy.

Still don't like it though.

Maybe I´m "too fastidious" by other companys which are releasing free content and not taking $ for each new unit they are implementing with some patches.
