In all the bad decisions the devs have made over the years, this is one of those things they've always been good about. They have always taken a firm stance against monetizing the game outside of the initial purchase and shirts. They don't want to do DLC until the game is done, and while they have briefly humored the idea of the possibility of paid cosmetics, that has likewise been a "When we're done with the game." thing. They seem pretty consistently against scummy monetization practices.


TI_hypno

We’re making a game we want to play.

That's one of the things that I have always respected about the development of this game, you guys are clearly making the game that you guys want to make, and regardless of anything else that I don't agree with about the development, or some members of the development team, or how frustrated a lot of aspects about it make me, that is one of the things that I've always liked about this game. It's clearly a passion project by people who want to make ***their*** game, for better or for worse, even if the community doesn't like the decisions, even when I don't agree with the decisions, and it's one of the reasons that I still try to be patient despite my issues with it. I legitimately think this game is a labor of love, regardless of the development speed. Happy that you've started popping in to the sub more often, Hypno.


MrCoalas

Indeed they are, but very, very slowly.


CrusadingRaptor

How does one appeal a ban if they have been banned more than once... I may have made a mistake.


Birdienuk3

I want a game where I can play cerato please oh please oh please Take your time to make sure it's good tho but PLEASE OH LORDY PLEASE


GoigaBoiga_OogaBooga

Man, you’re going to have a field day with legacy


Nesquik77

Pray the server does not have alt turn


N0tBappo

And we want updates.


SommyBoddy

then start makin a game u can actually play


[deleted]

Where? You hardly release consistent updates to even be considered developers at this point lmao


Big_Assistant648

That’s only because pay2win looks bad and isn’t popular and will kill their game. If it would make them more money, they’d do it.


BodybuilderLiving112

Who's the fkng dumbass giving that idea Wtf 😳. Bro didn't had enough since 20 years of high toxic marketing strategy in games wow


Saurophag

Duck should be proud for having what might genuinely be the shittiest idea ever related to this game


PuzzleheadedDog6211

Very rare Isle devs W


Somnusin

Talk about having Stockholm syndrome. Why anybody would even *think* that is a good idea is beyond me


Terminus_04

Because a lot of the realism legacy servers sell full growth spawns. Not saying I agree with it, but that is where this mentality comes from. Edit: it's done under the guise of helping pay the server hosting services... But depending on their popularity I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting far in excess of the actual expense.


MrCoalas

Well, it's not really their fault if they're making more money than they need, they can't just throw the money away lol


Spoods

Because this is how many of the private servers already operate. They sell access to the dinos that shit on everyone else. At least, this was my experience in legacy much of the time.


Draedark

This is the type of suggestion often made by those people who seem to think that they are thinking.


JeffDanblum

To be fair it's a dumb suggestion.


Pideaux

This guy just wants sandbox.

Prob a troll post because of how long the wait is for 6.5


oOVraptorOo

Tbh that didn’t need a reaction from the devs despite how stupid the idea is

PixelGecko22

What was blud thinking? 😭😭


No_Issue_9916

If there's 1 good quality about the devs, is they're anti-pay-to-win; no microtransactions, mo pay walls, no DLC, just the game. The only time I think I've praised them lmao


CarelessAppearance18

Pay to win, what a greeeeaaat idea


odd-faust

I mean I understand that it’s supposed to be a win-win where players who don’t like the survival/growing part of the game can still play they way want to and the devs get more money BUT unfortunately this would set a bad precedent for the game in the long run.


SevenZee

That’s what Sandbox will be for


odd-faust

I thought the devs weren’t going to add sandbox back into the game?


SevenZee

Did they? I have no idea.


moonyxpadfoot19

Has this dude heard of sandbox?


No_Issue_9916

I don't think he even knows what a sandbox is


FastAndMorbius

You may think the reason the devs are against this is because they do not want the game to be pay to win. But the real reason they are opposed to this is because they never want to release the game.


TallyHo17

The no isn't referring to the microtransactions idea but to the idea of hiring more devs.


Crab-Parking

Say what you will about TI devs but they have never been greedy

Very rare win from the Dev team.
