Space Age DLC is a Cash Grab - It Should’ve Been a Standalone Game

[desarso]

Listen, Idk how broke you need to be to think that $35 is a cash grab for such a quality game. Also, original players already have the game, so if it makes no difference for us if it's standalone. The logic makes no sense.

This is surely satire?!?!

This is surely satire?!?!

Some people like to complain on the internet. The polite thing to do (much like real life), is to laugh at how silly it is.

I have an opinion, not the opposite opinion of OP but of a complementary opinion. I have the base game, but I feel like Wube robbed me of the game I paid for. You see, my only enjoyment of the game is online multiplayer with strangers. I don't have many friends playing the game and I find playing it solo very boring (may have to do with that I'm on the autism spectrum). Since SA was released, almost no (quality) vanilla servers remain, and I have no opportunities anymore to play it.

I felt somewhat similar when the blueprint were introduced, before them i felt like the game in multiplayer was player discussing to solve a problem, but after blueprint were introduced, many servers became ( to me ) "filling the blueprint someone with 0 knowledge of the game picked up on the internet and plopped randomly on the map".

I hope you will find some remaining servers where you can enjoy the game, hosting a game myself and not allowing players joining to import their blueprint allowed me to somewhat continue playing what i like with random strangers and i'm doing this with Space Age more often than joining random multiplayer server.

i dont think think space age would work as standalone game. like at all. are you interested in space age, but not have factorio. why dont you play factorio? as per opinion of the developers it costs what it cost because that is how much it is worth, and factorio can be very time intensive so you better think so too otherwise you are wasting your time and money.

is factorio not your thing? now you know to not buy space age. and now you have spent exactly zero bucks on factorio space age so why are you complaining
