TaLeWorLds could be in a real tight spot now when it comes to popularity among it's consumers.
They (Armağan) created a real gem, out of every existing pattern, gamers fell in love with the game franchise, with Armağan, and eventually with the company, which became people's champion.
There was only software engineering and 3d modeling involved at first, no substantial previous experiences in bussiness management, a branch that does not always go hand in hand with being popular with consumers. Especially when your target groups are used to being pampered with low prices, vast modding community, huge forum community and a direct contact with the primary developer, the sole owner of the company that made our loving franchise, who still takes into account community feedback and suggestions, in whichever amount someone thinks that is still the case.
Now as a private bussiness owner myself, a 80-90 employees circa ( as Taleworlds has now) of my own i could consider as nothing less than as a crown of my entrepreneurial career, as would any other rational man and woman who has ever owned a bussiness of his/her own.
That would lead to some structural changes, an thus a slight change of course in bussiness management in order for the company to still work properly.
Taleworlds has it's hands tied for even trying to do what every other company is doing and not only getting away with it, but making BILLIONS of dollars in the process.
To me, putting myself in perspectives of both consumer and Armağan, we don't have the right to demand anything yet we haven't paid for, and Taleworlds will suffer huge concequences if it turns out dishonest and incorporate paid cosmetics into full release, if they weren't previously officialy announced before it goes on sale with a full price in Early Access.
Everybody has a choice, we to make an informed decision of buyng EA or full release, them of being honest or dishonest about their product, but every decision will have it's concequence.
I personally have no reason to distrust Armağan and Taleworlds, because i was never previously dissapointed by them.
All i am saying is that we have NO RIGHT demanding a single thing here, as they have no right demanding we buy the game.
Even if you were being lied to, buy the product and then after a year microtransactions kick in, that's your consumer risk as in any other industrial branch-buyng a product that will serve you well for the money. And as in every other product you buy - you win some, you lose some.
That's the risk i am willing to take anyways.
