Could you provide a quote of the descriptions that you find objectionable? I would be happy to give that to Rick. We certainly don't want the store description to be a misrepresentation of the game. As for the price, that is largely set by Microsoft and Sony for their respective stores. If the price is still $30 then it simply means it is still selling well at that price point and so that is the price that they wish to sell it at. I'm sure that eventually it will fall in price as most video games do.
Companies rarely converse with the public about how to conduct their business. They give press releases to inform the public about what they have decided. The comments in the video were to simply re-affirm the press release that was given 10 months ago which has not changed. They could put out another press release and say, "ditto" but there is no point. You can simply re-read the still-in-force press release that was given. There is nothing really to converse about. They have stated clearly that they will not do anything other than get the PC version finished. After the PC version is done which is approximately going to be the end of 2021 they will explore the possibility of bringing the full game to console. The big question is what consoles will be the current consoles in the year 2022.....?
Developers set their price point for their games not platforms, i talk dailey to game devs i know for a fact that is true. 30 dollars is set or should be set by the publishers, the sites still list tell tale as publishers when we know its obvs now funpimps, you should know as well as i do that half teh people watching content on YouTube and twitch are console players of course they see a great pc game and then think amazing, its on console too! so they buy it and what do they find! that the game hasn't had an update in 3 years? that it doesn't have half the content that's elsewhere? at very least i think something should be added that the console versions contain content up to 2017 only. i get so many comments form fans wondering feeling tricked that there is no mention on teh xbox or psn store fronts that the game is not teh same as pc.
I can agree that it may be better to indeed work towards a new version of the game on next gen, however my main point stands that console players shouldn't have to pay twice (more expensive versions too) just to receive the same game? at the very least if no future updates are forthcoming there should be some intent by funpimps to agree to free upgrades or heavy discount for all owners of 7 days now, as indicated by rick the console versions are still selling well, its misleading by proxy.
Its clear that the funpimps are happy raking in sales from console on a game (they have made money off the last year no?) that is not advertised as it could or should be. and very clear funpimps are happy to fleece another console generation asking them to pay what? another 40 dollars by then, on the full version of the game they should have received. at very least funpimps should be doing their best to looking into smart delivery on xbox or as said hefty discount for all owners of current gen consoles versions, it borders on triple a douche that they simply are gonna make everyone pay again.
We all know telltale screwed it all up, but end of day 7 days is now soley fun pimps responsibility, and any future sales i am sure will be harmed by not trying to do their best for console players, you spent a lot of money supposedly getting ya rights back, not to update the game with content as had been expected but to sit on and charge players again for old rope, its such a shame, as said there is potential to cut deals with new publishers, talk to microsoft or psn get the ball rolling now on ports to next gen so you could potentially go gold and sell full game (discounted or free for current gen owners) with crossplay as rick said, but at same time instead of waiting even longer.
anyhoo thanks for replying, i appreciate you all care about 7 days, but honestly what the community needs is more understanding from devs themselves, i dont think one statement last year is good enough, especially after the stupid statement months back saying form joel on stream "to buy a pc if you want to play" after so many players were hoping for better news. stranded deep managed to get there game out, so there is indeed presidence on making things right despite all that has gone on.
Read the petition and what is being asked is mostly unfeasible. After what happened with Telltale, the smart thing to do is not do the same thing again and expect different results. Console gamers would be better off with a port of the finished game instead of yet another port of a previous alpha version. Lets be honest, if the pimps did port over another PC build to current gen, those players will just want more PC features continued to be added...
I think the best compromise and more likely to be successful is wait until the PC version is finished to do another port and then offer existing owners of 7d2d on console some type of limited time discount to purchase the new game on the new generation consoles.
well yes console players do want teh same content when they have payed more? surprizing that? ark, conan, dayz, stranded deep, citadel, memories of mars, long dark and many many more manage to keep console versions updated, 7 days is not some master mind game that is so complex it cant happen? you can get ark ona switch for crying out loud lool
but yeah a discount or free upgrade is a move i think console players could get behind
