An Update on Our Road to 1.0

As far as i understood, are this cosmetic Coins a Premium Currency. And while i get where you come from, as someone who prefers to have a once-time premium price and than buy optional new Expansions like Diablo 2 era, i still have to point out that they plan to keep working on the game even Post-Launch. And with competitors like Diablo and stuff, it’s really hard to finance future support on game with this buisness model, especially since Path of Exile is such successfull. In someway the need to able to finance their future updates, and cosmetics are the best way for a f2p game. And at some point they also mentioned they don’t want sell stuff like stash-tabs, which is even better so no pay-for-advantage stuff like PoE.

But Last Epoch isn´t a F2P-Game…Premium Currency is even worse; it´s as predatory as can be (if that´s really how the devs intend to sell their MTX). And it´s not as if this old Diablo 2-Business-model isn´t working anymore. Grim Dawn for example is pretty succesful with paid expansions…and a ton of free content as well.
I know the reasoning behind the MTX… future support. But what does that mean ? That all future content will be free ? Sorry if I´m a bit hesitant to believe that.

Sorry if I sound like an old record…but once again a very promising game becomes much less interesting to me because of its business-model.
