You know when you take your car to the shop for a tune up, then when you get home you find out they brake something; You take it back to fix what they didn’t do right, But not only did they fix what they messed up but they also throw in a free extra like upgrading the part they broke. Its good for public relations and repeat business, a way of saying sorry.
Before I get to my point, I would like to state, I like the core of what the game is suppose to be.
Brink made many promises, most of them never came threw. I’m not going to list all of them, but some that come to mind are, “amazing bot ai” “tearing down the walls between single player and multi-player” “in-depth story” “massively customizable charters and weapons” etc. Even taking such statements with a grain of salt, it really feels like it falls short in these regards considering this is not a cheap game at $50 or more depending on your region you had to buy it in.
The bugs that many players have to deal with are quite numerous, and depending on some peoples very expensive hardware, completely unplayable as of yet. Since it’s software these users can’t get a refund as if buying a broken hard drive and returning it and that seems unfair.
My Idea, give something back to the public, something like “hey sorry we made some mistakes, here’s some DLC or something.”
Don’t label me a TF2 fan boy when i say this, the highest price TF2 ever had was $20, and has roughly the same amount of content back when it first launched and even more now. And as I recall far fewer and smaller bugs.
