So it's finally happened. The end has begun.

Closed

This is what we joked about when DLC started. Paying for patches... It's finally happening. T_T

Edit 1: Apparently according to some people the description was written by a monkey and the fixes are actually free and not part of the DLC in which they are listed as "Key Features".

Edit 2: For those that didn't notice, i was not saying the maps should be free, i was taking about these:

Prediction and Latency Fixes – We’ve carefully examined and enhanced player prediction and input latency!
Different Crosshairs – Choose different crosshairs and scale them!
Spectator Cameras – New spectator cameras include first person view and chase cam!
Dedicated Servers – Host and create your own Dedicated Servers with SteamCMD!
LAN Support – LAN Play now available
Reworked Art – Easier to see in the environments with major performance options!
Dynamic Mutator Options – Dynamic Mutator Options allow you to choose specific Mutators to be turned on/off during a match!
Custom Server Browser – Browse currently available matches!
Competitive Options – Slew of options are now available for extremely competitive players in Custom Matches. Define your way of playing!
Tons of other fixes since launch! Come join the most intense FPS on the net!

Basically a bunch of patches.

Not bad enough the game is utter bullshit with a broken match system that finds players and matches but takes hours to connect the game, if it even works at all, now you have to pay for a duel system that is probably more broken bullshit as well

I'm amazed that EA or Activision weren't the first to do this. THQ must be really desperate for some cash...

Didn't THQ have to lay off a whole bunch of workers? I thought I read something like that. :/

THQ Is entirely fucked financially. They laid almost everyone at Relic off and had to cancel their MMO's. Dawn of War and Saints Row didn't make up for the retarded hand writing tablet for consoles thing they invested stupid amounts of money into. They might have good titles but they make stupid business decisions.

They're turning the expansion into an entire game in a desperate cash grab. I wouldn't call that a good thing.

Not from what I heard.

They were gonna release the expansion this year but decided to make a full fledged game, doesn't seem like a cash grab, the 30 dollar expansion seemed like one though...

Aaaand, Nexuiz goes on the list of games I'll never even pirate. Sorry, your code doesn't get to run on my system at all, THQ. Not while you pull that shit. You don't even get to use me as a statistic in your inevitable piracy statistics whining whenever you decide you're not making enough money selling something with zero replication cost.

Don't worry, THQ might go bankrupt soon. They're currently under investigation and were recently served a class action lawsuit by former shareholders. That and their plummeting share price isn't a good sign.

That's... not exactly something to be happy about. THQ has done some great games. I just question how anyone thought this was a good idea.

Actually, you are wrong, that only provides the DLC content, all patches and everything else is free.

Kinda false advertising on the DLC then. Under key features Tons of other fixes since launch! Come join the most intense FPS on the net! Kind of sounds like they are trying to convince people that they need to buy it to get the fixes.

What about the other ones which are fixes or enhancements but aren't exclusive to "Duel Mode DLC"?

Not sure what you are asking but all of the fixes/enchantments are free, the only thing is DLC provides is the Duel mode content and a couple maps.

You spread false information. All it states is that the game has received a couple of patches since release.
There is no patch included in this dlc.

I'm not spreading false information. I was just passing along the information in the description of the DLC. It is not my fault that they got this guy to write the description.

You are providing a misconception which is about as false as it can be. The patch is already in the main game that is written on that dlc page.

I've said it for a long time now. The more people buy silly, useless overpriced DLC the worse developers are going to make it because "well if they paid that much for so little, lets see how much we can get for even less." Good job guys.
