Blood Bowl 3 dev apologises for launch woes and addresses the "sensitive topic" of its monetisation strategy
Cyanide Studios has posted a lengthy response to fans unhappy at the current state – and monetisation strategy – of Blood Bowl 3.
With just 27 per cent of players giving the game a thumbs up on Steam – that's a 73 per cent disapproval rate amassed from almost a thousand players at this point – Cyanide outlined what «players can expect [...] as we move forward» as well as explore the «sensitive topic» of monetisation.
After thanking players for supporting the game, the team identified six main complaints: «the monetisation, the Brutal Edition, the game state, the server issues, the Faction Leaks, and the Blood Bowl team».
«The functionality of the game is our main priority, and rest assured we will do our best to address any bugs or broken elements as soon as we can,» the statement said (thanks, PC Gamer).
«We hope that Blood Bowl 3 will be a game that is ever-evolving. Even the end of the roadmap is not the end of the road. We will continuously add content and events. We have big plans and ambitions for Blood Bowl 3, and these initial stumbling blocks don’t change that.»
The post then detailed what we will be able to unlock «for free through upcoming features», before moving onto the thorny monetisation topic.
«We’d like to talk about monetisation and appreciate this is a sensitive topic among the community,» the team said. «This is something we tried to communicate ahead of the launch, but we intend to implement features allowing players to be rewarded either with cosmetic items or Warpstone through play as well as purchase.
»We know that we will probably not be able to convince all of you, but we truly believe that our system is fair, rewarding and optional and that’s understandable."
As for the Brutal Edition snafu?
