- The main reason for this changes is that we want to speed up the development of new content for Gremlins, Inc., which requires additional budget. The dev team behind this game depends on the revenue that we get through sales, and every extra bit allows us to commission more art, more music, as well as to progress faster with the code of the game.
- In conversations with the community, we heard for a long time that having played for 100 hours, for 200 hours or for 600 hours, the extra few dollars don't really matter if you're interested in supporting the project by purchasing its DLCs. On the other hand, those who don't love the game that much, will not purchase the DLCs no matter the pice.
- We expect the actual numbers of copies sold of these DLCs to decrease, while maintaining the revenue or seeing it increase by 10-15%. Let us be clear: we do not expect that we will double the revenue – this is simply not how markets work. But we do expect a moderate increase, which goes a long way towards helping us move faster with the new content and features; and most of these features and content we release as FREE updates – available to every player.
With this announcement we wanted to let everyone know about the change a little bit in advance, so that this adjustment doesn't come as a complete surprise. NB: once the price is increased, DLCs will not go on sale for the mandatory 30-day period.
If you already own some of these DLCs, these changes will not affect your ownership; you collection just becomes a little bit more valuable. We appreciate the support of our player community and remain, as always, committed to further improving this game, whether this is about ranked ladder, AI bots, new cards, or re-balancing of the existing mechanics.
Our goal is to keep developing the game until we eventually are strong enough to proceed with Gremlins, Inc. 2 – which will incorporate all the insights, discoveries and the good parts of code from the current project. The faster we can move on the way to this goal, the better off is everyone!
