Unless you don't mind the risks associated with being disappointed, maybe you should hold off until actual users start reviewing and depicting their experience with the game.
These I"M NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE OF THIS posts are the equivalent of a 3 year old temper tantrum...no offense. |
well sometimes true
It really depends if you are saying it for dramatic effect or just actually stating how it is.
In actual fact if the boxed edition requires steam I couldn't be bothered either. That's not some idle threat to impress people on the boards its just the truth.
As an example with D&D 4th edition I made the decision not to get invovled quite early and have never seen any reason to revise it. At the time I was heavily involved with the Wizards official campaigns had written a number the of official published modules published for Living Greyhawk so a lot of people accused me of throwing a tantrum and claimed I would give in eventually.
In actual fact I was just stating a fact, the new 4th edition D&D (which is kinda based on PC games and WoW rather than traditional RP games) was designed to get a constant turnover of young teens with moneyed parents interested. They would would buy all the books and then 6 months later move on to some other interest making Hasbro/Wizards much money but destroying it as a viable long-term gaming system.
I see UBI's attitude as very similar, a viable long term player community is not important to them, the only concern is short term cashflow and sales.
So be it
