Absolutely agree 100%

The coat could even be changed to match the newer Steel Legion shape, instead of the current Krieg veteran one, that flairs out ridiculously?

Helldivers 2. You earn super credits semi-randomly through various map spawns and generally it’s something like 20-40 of them a mission last I checked. You can run 10 or so missions to get enough credits to buy a single cosmetic set.

Sure, that’s not exactly the same dollar value, but that’s only because Darktide’s cosmetics are hilariously overpriced.

Now, granted, HD2 has warbonds to help finance stuff - but people who grind enough to earn cosmetics almost certainly grind enough to get the warbonds for free as well.

HD2 uses P2P for matches, which I think is a pretty important distinction.

I imagine that if we get to earn aquilas, it’ll be much more like Hunt: Showdown’s model where there is a discrete amount of premium currency that can be earned by a player over a period of time.

If Havoc makes Aquilas earnable my gripes will (mostly) be gone as I can always sweatswamp my way through those to get what I want for cosmetics ig. Like, I still don’t like the weekly decay rate/grind like it’s a job structure but it is what it is.

I’m still holding out hope for earning aquilas from Havoc…the use of the new “caches” verbiage stokes those hopes:

> Rewards:  
> Materials (Plasteel, Diamantine), Mastery XP, and weekly caches.

It’d be a big win…but we’ll see!

This is a point that I think is often not understood very well, and it’s worth repeating. I may be in the minority here, but I actually don’t think free aquilas are a terribly good idea. I highly doubt it will accomplish anything except force Fatshark to find another way of monetizing the game.

Also, making that rather basic point does not mean that you are satisfied with how the shop is run. I, for one, am certainly not. The quality is generally too low, the prices are generally too high, and only having three rotating pages worth of content is more than a little sketchy. I’m all for improving that, and I’ve said so repeatedly. That said, the game needs to generate revenue somehow. Just saying.

Now go ahead and shout at me all you want.

I think For Honor (from buggysoft). I don’t know the value of the currency that you get, but you can indeed buy or earn the in game currency to buy stuff.

dead by daylight uses dedicated servers, and probably hunt: shodown as well (dunno in the specific about that game though) yet these “live service games” they give the ability to earn premium currency and also giving the ability to buy stuff with real money just to support the companies, which is a win-win, and some of these games, not even skins, but actual content. e.g. in dead by daylight where you can unlock new characters that have perks and stuff. so it’s not only related to skins. but in the DT case, it would be only skins.

i understand about the costs of covering the servers, but renting servers for 10 years is below 10k $ so for Fatshark, is technically nothing imo.

the game sales already covers the servers, and not only anyway. (all future updates and all)  
fatshark earnt about $96,894,428.55 (gross value) $28,583,856.42 (net value) if we consider 10 milion copies sold for about 40$ approximately in these years. these are estimates, nothing of precise, but close enough.

they would only just gain by making aquilas obtainable, and also, increasing player retention in a good way.

buying skins it does still fund the game and company obviously but it’s not going to be a marginal change. companies usually shut down servers if player count is below than 100 people because no point in keeping servers on if there are no players at all, they would go in loss from a point of view. so it’s not that making aquilas obtainable, would make them less money, if we seeing all live service games that are giving premium currency by playing, it is actually the opposite, they make more money.

considering VT2 gifted many premium skins for free, it is obvious that Fatshark (at least one side of it) wants to provide joy to players, and that’s why DT should do too by making aquilas earnable at least. unless the DT team devs is different from the VT2 one, which would explain why skins in VT2 are usually high quality compared the DT ones. (some of them)

Not only this, but even their paid currencies are _far_ cheaper than the DT equivalent. On top of this, you get more value out the money you spend. As much as these stores are always icky on some level, HD2 definitely has the most generous one out of all the ones I’ve ever come across. If you pay ~10$ for 1000 super credits, that is one warbond, which itself includes a whole bunch of content. There are singular cosmetic sets in DT that are more expensive than that.

Make it make sense.

I can’t get a read on how much, and how consistently, you can earn in For Honor but yea seems like everything can be bought with earnable currency. Only exception seems to be a 2 week period where you can only get a new hero with cash.

You can earn premium currency in Hunt, but it’s pretty limited. And even then, there are still tons of skins you can only buy with cash.

I don’t know _much_ about server costs, but this seems off. Does it really cost so little to have 2-8k players (on Steam alone) running matches 24/7?

for a period over 10 years with costant 10k players (to round up) being costantly would be probably about 38k $ it’s a lot but from a company’s optic, not that much, considering how much they earnt. aws amazon instances are not that expensive in general. and yes 24/7 also, and there is also usually an auto-scaling functionality that adjust according to the current players online, so it would be probably even less.

> [@anon73549677](#):

yes, it would be good for (but not limited to) dedicated players, it is good to find a balance where people that actually play a lot the game can be rewarded by playing and/or be keen to buy mtx from the store, with the one they also earnt for free to conclude a transaction because they have some leftover from the aquilas earnt for free.

that’s also why I think it is a “win-win”! some people though, say it will actually make them less money. I don’t think so. It is actually in fact, one of the reason why companies give the currency costing real money, obtainable in-game through farming for free.

I think though, some people were afraid that if they do that, then we will receive “less updates” or “a different monetization” despite not knowing, that Dartkide earnt so much that’s pretty much set from that point of view about updates. it is just the company that make it look like it is thanks to the skins, if we get updates. it is one of the reason but not the only. game sales also helped a lot, as previously mentioned the number, they earnt much enough to develop constant update for the foreseeable future.

like all employees of fatshark for over 10 years? probably a lot.  
but servers remain still cheap to run compared, it’s not theirs just amazon ones

regarding employees, i don’t think all roles there have the same salary.  
i’m not sure how Fatshark handles salaries to their developers and employees.  
hopefully with the new game sales for PS5 will help for the cause and further development of darktide

all i have to say to your objectively correct statement is fatshark is not the friendly studio just this picture alone shows how greedy their are and aggressive the MTX store is.

their actively removing the content of those packs and selling each for more money. This isn’t a fair trade this is a rip off compared to the fair pricing of that screenshot. Even if that was the only thing working on release…
