Civilization V Receives Two DLC Packs This Month - briefly|
| (hx) 02:39 AM CEST - Oct,19 2010 | On 25 October, 2K Games will release a free 'Mongols Civilization and Scenario Pack' for all owners of hexy strategy title Civilization V. The Mongolian Civilization and Scenario Pack allows players to take on the role of Genghis Khan and lead the Mongol horsemen on the warpath. In addition to the Mongols, 2K will be offering the Babylonian Civilization Pack (previously available as part of the Civilization V Digital Deluxe Edition,) which allows a spot of roleplaying as Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnezzar II. The Mongolian DLC will be free to download. The Babylonian Civilization Pack, a part of the game's Digital Deluxe Edition, will be $4.99 to download.
The Mongols Civilization and Scenario Pack calls for the strongest leaders to ride with Genghis Khan and his Mongol horsemen to establish the largest continuous land empire ever seen. Rulers lead their civilization from humble beginnings on the steppes of Asia, until all under heaven tremble at the might of the nation.
Players can continue expanding their conquests with the Babylonian Civilization Pack as the Babylonian ruler, Nebuchadnezzar II (c. 630 – c. 561 B.C.). As King of Babylon, gamers will be able to expand their empire with advanced Babylonian Bowmen to rightfully earn the title of Nebuchadnezzar the Great.

Releasing it less than a month after the launch, means the publisher/developer was just too greedy and actually didn't implement it in the initial code in the first place.
This is getting ridiculous. Unless the DLCs are free of course, which is the way it should be anyway. A way for the developer/publisher to say thank you to those that bought the game. |

| Csimbi | (10:19 PM CEST - Oct,19 2010 ) | Well, this is the latest trend.
This way, they can create the original title from a smaller budget (and since it's cheaper, more people will buy in), but still get good value from those who like it and are willing to pay extra for additional content. Plus, the content is download-able, so the distribution costs are minimal.
Another benefit is that they can release the game earlier and forget about the additional content when the game seems to have failed.
Now, this all sounds nice and should be beneficial for all parties involved, but I do not see the prices dropping on the titles, so it feels like I am being ripped off... |

Heh. That's the problem indeed.
I still see games launching at 50 euros at Steam. They be the great service they are, but they are still ripping Europeans off. I wouldn't even complain if they kept the normal euro to dollar ratio. Fucking bastards! :P |
