    Well just like me. The new owner may take some time to sort everything out completely and may surprise the userbase with some sort of a 'Roadmap' where everything that cliffhangs from 1 to 4 Years back in time (etc.) gets sorted out and we all then know what is happening.... If this happens we all know what is going on. Maybe all those long awaited thing's were (absolutely by pure and sheer accident) held back because stuff like 'additional gas planet 2' or 'Multiplayer' or 'DV readout' perfecly fits into the DLC sheme. Soon we'll know what direction the ship is sailing.

    I can not actually confirm the today's costs of physical 'Boxed games' i just know what it's costs were in the late 90's. Lets say, the investment on that 'GTA' was the mentioned 265 million and the total revenue is (lets say to have easier numbers) 2.65 billion dollars (to cover taxes, hookers, beer, Steam shares what ever, it still grows) The interesting thing upon that all is, the remaining 90% of the incoming GTA funds is pure revenue cash for the investors pocket, in that case (gta5) a legal fair share to cover the risk of the 265 million dollar vaporizing. Back to KSP So.... .... uh ..... oh. wait.... i nearly forgot. KSP was 'Early Access' okay this was a bad example.... Customer took nearly all risks. What should i say ? 'okay i'm fine because all the money they got from million's and millions of customers around the World vaporized without the game gotten completed at all, long promised stuff (according to the wiki) like 'redrawing parts and assets' got dropped 'indefinetly' ? come on, no problem i give you MOAR money because this time, for sure, (reaaaaaaally) you promised and will use it for development.... really ? The more money you push into something thats not completed yet, the less work is being done because if the key to MOAR is delaying and delaying, one can endlessly ask for more money pointing at the missing gaps and ends, unless its not finished. I personally rather tend to say '[insert actual owner here] go into your golden Hall, sit yourself on your golden, diamond encrusted chair use your Emerald Keyboard and complete the ###### game.' Some holes wont fill up, regardless how much money is thrown in.

    Quite a little bit more than This or that would be fine stuff. Show the Customers what to expect in the Future.

    A sharp look on the List offers that the 'invested money' for GTA V is somewhat around 265 million Dollars. So lets come to 'the right numbers' with me trying to not be insulting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop#cite_note-3 Not only the numbers count it also count what the numbers SAY and one needs to read the complete text to understand what the numbers mean. in the article you are referring to it was written (referring to the top-seller Tetris) ' it was later popularised upon its release for the Game Boy in 1989.[1] The game has been ported to a wide range of platforms and sold in excess of 495 million units' GTA5 actually was SOLD 80 million TIMES. 80 millions multiplied by 59.99 (actual Steam sale) gives ehhh, no offense meant this is only a marginal error no businessman would ever care upon.... somewhat around 4.500.000.000$ (four point five billions) How much is this in Pounds?.Great i succeeded calculating that. Dont mind the ingame DLC and Shark cards. App. one can add 1 Billion$ top of that. so we have already passed 5 Billions. Besides that, Boxing a game and creating Media/Manual (they actually did print a paper manual) overall (once) costed around 2$ up to 5$ per Box. Costs for maintaining servers: lets say 1% of the costs for boxing it. So i was underestimating my assumption. it is 1000 times. ? 2000 times ? So there is absolutely nothing wrong with me if i say it is more than 100 times. you can only say to me 'you are wrong because it is even more than that' (if you still mind the numbers)

    keep fingers crossed for this. My dream: No bad surprises, game gets finally bugfixed and remains moddable.

    We had those but this was something different because the Money Spent was visible in your hands and you have to walk to the shops and you got something REAL. (more or less) Guess how much money you can make today if you have a complete 'Space 1999' sticker Album. There is a fundamental difference if you buy physical items or virtual ones. or not ?

    Good alternative point. Note that all those 'Pay to Advance' is behind any game sheme is in 95% of all cases strictly dedicated to the weakest, the youngest of available Users. Those who doesnt have the mind to see behind that sort of sheme. Well when i was young there was nothing like that around, but when i look around along my Son's friend's there are Plenty, who spend their 'monthly bag's money' for stuff like that. This is what those companies live upon.

    added: 1. 30 Years ago how many People statistically bought a Specific Game ? 100,000 ? 200,000 ? Hom many People buy Games Today ? 1.000.000-2.000.000 and up. (if the title is quite good) 2. The work in old time's was more of a work than today because in old times [look at my signature] Developers were expensive. 3. Coding got easier the last 30 Years. one single experienced Person can easily stuff together a Civilisation One in 2 Weeks with modern Tools. Sid Meyer took longer on that 4. Added: A specific description lacks seriousness if you leave out that the revenue of a game if you compare it with 'old times' if far than 100 times bigger, because the first 3 Points The game only has to be written once. and then can be sold a endless amount of time. without additional costs, except of maintaining Server structures for downloading. Jou dont even have costs for Tapes/Disk and packaging. ZERO cost. in old times that stuff physically existed in Boxes whatever. DLC was invented to harvest Whales (so those are called who buy everything, in Germany the Term 'Sheep' fits too) DLC was invented to maximize income without having any additional worth. DLC is never ever anything that could be consideren 'fair' or 'good business' This is the outcome of soul and mindless greedy and wheesly Business decisions. So are Netherland Tax models with Mexican Ghost Owners too. Its all about maximizing revenue. Nothing more. Its about grabbing the biggest possible amount of money without creating any equivalent worth of work for it. The New(tm) Investor wants at least 10 Dollars back for every dollar invested. Maybe more. Selling a 'rocket part' 1 Million times at a price of 2$ seams quite fair if editing and releasing that single part maybe cost 2 Grand this is what its all about. Nothin more. No problem, if stuff like this works, its fine, but no one should try to excuse Business behavior with 'oh this game costs so much in coding' If all of it got already covered by 8 to 9 digit Dollar Sales it already got. We more or less guess how many copies got sold and there IS a reason why you can not see how many copies are sold. So please line all up, its whaling time. Currently those Oceans are full of white one's and Captain Ahab stands Aboard and selling you some ingame stuff a million times again and again while pretending it was specially made for *you* because he whipped the hell out of the workers that coded it for the 2$ you spent on it. (who knows ? that maybe happened because there were enough ramblings upon working conditions :-)))) So Now there is a Investor. Investors tend to want 'MOAR' Dollars. The differece between 'gotten Product' and 'money Spent for it' is more shifting to the Investors side. This is all anyone need to know about investments.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooohhh come on, what should anyone expect ? They would even say 'we are all happy about it' if everyone gets sacked, because they signed a paper on that :-) Ever heard someone officially saying 'we are all unhappy about it' in the recent 10 Years, Worldwide, any Developing Company?

    Wrong. DLC dont pay the Bills. DLC was invented some years ago, as a way to press out more Money from da Kids, without enhancing Quality by just selling each bit separately. The Quality of the games would not enhance if 100 billion People buy the DLC. only the Wallets of the Shareholder will get better. A complete Game that once could have been purchased for 50$ now costs 500$ because it is sliced into 100 Pieces. Most People are just not enough enhanced in their mind to add all that together to realise that some games cost more than the Computer they are played on. Humans are dumb and the Developers just found out. The Game itself wont be any Better. DLC is not for Funding the Game, its for increasing someones Wallet. Some games even have all functions inside and you have to Buy a DLC to get some Bits switched to acess that function.

    Besides, we (and i can say WE because we are Father and Son) own both versions (i the PC and he the PS4-&$§$) I dont forbid anyone to ride the shooo-shooo train that i am not allowed to express my opinion about the Console version, but even if we dont had any version i AM allowed to express my Opinion. Sooner or later anyone should allow himself to let that shooo-shooo come to a Station so far, or it derails. (Or gain pitiful smiles) So i close my further replys to 'Them' (Lord or King), please go and assume something different to someone else. Im not in for that.
