We get two for free anyway, so the starting roster is 10 demigods.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that:
- all connectivity problems are solved
- player base is high enough to provide fast matching
- all major bugs have been taken care of
- the game is reasonably balanced (which in my opinion it already is)
Also, we all enjoy the game.
In the hopes that GPG isn't abandoning Demigod in favor of supcom2 or something else, how willing are you to fork over your cash in order to get more DGs of a quality similar to the original ones ?
(US-Dollars. Assume the dollar remains stable.)
Note: According to GPG according to a comment, the development of a new Demigod from scratch is supposed to cost GPG $100,000 (source: he-said-he-said-they-said). It will certainly get cheaper if GPG streamlines their efforts to generate new DG content, but even so they have to earn money.
Acceptable price for new demigods:
- 1$ per demigod
- 2$ per demigod
- 3$ per demigod
- 4$ per demigod
- 5$ per demigod (this equates to 40$ for a gang of 8, costing as much as the original game)
- Even more !!
Also, what would be the most sensible way to release the new creations ?
Release format for new Demigods:
- Single demigods (release as soon as one is ready)
- Paired demigods (one light, one dark)
- 4 demigods ("typical" size of something you'd expect for downloadable content)
- 8 demigods or more (a full fledged expansion)
Updated Current result (#141):
Surprisingly this thread got revived and offered nearly 20 new identifyable votes.
Like always, the current result required a bit of an interpretation effort on my part: For example, a decent sized expansion gets interpreted as 4 demigods and a full expansion as demigods, however phrased.
The dislike of the downloadable-content model persists. Although it's not quite clear to me what the factual difference is between a 4-DG DLC for 5$ per DG and an expansion pack containing 4 DGs for 20$-25$. I suppose it's the fear of the legendary "horse-armor".
