I also heard that the expansion also introduces a pay to win kind of mechanism where you can tame dragons and bring them back to blow everyone away. lol
 
It's genius. You get people to buy in early to the game, and then you can either:

a) Finish the game, which is a lot of hard work and gets you no additional dollars, or
b) spend that time getting dlc put together, sell it and make even more money.

I am just shocked that the minds at Bethesda didn't patch in a dependency on the horse armor somewhere in the initial quest, plus breaking save games. What you call a game-breaking bug, we call an underleveled credit card.
 
But at the end of the day, aren't we all still in development? Are we ever complete?

Well, actually I am. Sometimes I think I'm a little 'too' complete. I like to complete myself as often as possible.

AHEM... Yeah, the game. We're they going bankrupt and needed a cash burst? Are studios set up so as different divisions can keep pumping out stuff while other sections work on fine tuning the game?

I honestly don't know the company from a bar of soap though. I find the dlc issue ugly and tacky.
 
If your core game is incomplete and buggy, I don't know how you can feel good about diverting development resources to friggin' DLC. Haven't these companies recognized how bad it is for PR even?
 

Ark: Survival Ascended sold over 600,000 copies on Steam in two weeks.

Publisher Snail, Inc. broke the news in a press release and said the milestone indicates Survival Ascended will become a "promising expansion of the Ark franchise."

The title launched in Steam Early Access on October 26, 2023, and leverages new Unreal Engine 5 tools such as Lumen, Nanite, and more to incorporate advanced mesh streaming, dynamic lighting, and robust physics systems.
