For those of you who play DOW2, it seems that every time Relic adds a new faction, they release a new expansion. For the original DOW, it had 3 expansions, first they added the IG, then 4 more factions in DC, then 2 more in Soulstorm (which was short lived).
I guess now they've learned they're lesson, so they've decided to do it one at a time. Imagine Relic releasing 5 more expansions! I'd really be [b]milked dry![/b]
Thanks a lot Relic. I'd prefer they update the original game with more stuff instead of releasing so many expansions. And make it cheaper too.
inb4 no one is forcing you to buy, but I'd hate to keep on playing an outdated version.
stop reading my earlier comments. Scroll down.
relic should make it so we can buy hats for our commander

Because patching in a new faction + campaign takes just as much work as making a new weapon for TF2, right?

Yeah, but don't you wish you wouldn't have to pay so much every time?

They've actually got it all done. They're just releasing them one by one to milk it further.
[editline]19th March 2011[/editline]
Anyway we paid quite a lot for the original game.
That's what the game market is today, milk milk milk. That's how it is because it's the most profitable. Same type of deal with Day 1 DLC bullshit (and DLC in general, really.) It sucks, but it's not gonna change for the devs who are on that buisness bandwagon.
They didn't add 4 Factions in Dark Crusade, can you not count or something?
you know actually its just new units with new weapons. Kinda like TF2 updates.
And no one gives a shit about singleplayer
This milking is bad for them, because it might work well initially, but people will get sick of it soon.

The milking is actually great for them, and bad for us who know better. The reason this bandwagon has been around for ages is because people are actually dumb enough to tolerate it, pay for it and hence support it. They're not gonna change it.
wait, they had chaos rising and retribution finished when they released DoW 2

i mean all they do is add levels and one new enemy why do they keep milking it

Uh, that's your fucking problem.
Relic is a bro-tier company.
Ok how about you say that about something like Nintendo or Square Enix, and leave poor Relic out of this.

Yes, 30 euros is really gonna bankrupt me! Dearie me, whatever shall I do?

Yup. You think they start working on it after releasing something? Trust me, they've finalised most of it, just waiting to be released and milked.

jesus christ
why trust you? you've said it, now show us that
I'm pretty sure they haven't finished it all, and yes, they do overlap development cycles, that doesn't mean they get all that done. You've no idea what goes into a video game
shut up
It isn't, I play Singleplayer because then I have a guarantee that I'll be playing a challenging, thought-out game rather than against someone who found out that if you spam Ogryns you can win.
In other news, evil corporations make money.

yeah but you gotta play multiplayer sometime.
Not everything is ready to ship, but they have probably finalised most of it. Just needs polish.
I'd rather they'd take time to produce an expansion pack that includes more, instead of shipping them one at a time.
It's not like they're going to work their asses off for hundreds of hours to release free shit. They're a business, not a butler giving you everything you want.

like you do. They can recycle old DOW stuff. Update the textures, models etc. Abilities, just rename existing abilities from other factions, which keeps it balanced. A few particle effects and sprites here and there.
Easier said than done, but its possible to have 6 more factions by the end of the year. Just not 6 more expansion packs. Maybe 2.
So shut up. :D

I bet if I made a thread that Relic should release more expansion packs, most of you would disagree.
Its just my blunt, impolite and direct style of writing, you've gotta excuse me for that.

They just released Retribution, which is a standalone version with all the factions to date included, for the price of an expansion. Talk about fucking ungrateful.
you really are completely fucking clueless as to how the development process works, aren't you
They release new factions in expansions because making 8+ factions takes a long time.

its a conspiracyy!!!!!!!!1111
Honestly, I could care less about milking dlc as long as they release some content for free, like LittleBigPlanet. Also OP doesn't know how game development works.

most of you don't get it right now, maybe its a communication error on my part.
anyway, you'll understand soon enough. Just don't be too late.

Retribution is 6 brand new campaigns, in my book that's pretty good value considering Blizzard is going to charge us 3 times for the entire of Starcraft 2.
