As far as I can tell, they never actually said that. We inferred that from what they did say, and they let us believe it.
It turns out chapter 4 was added because the chapter 1 schedule slipped and they wanted to push out all the stuff they planned for the age.
That would be great, but it’s evident that the suits at Funcent don’t think it’s a money-making strategy.
That post is a nice digression, but it’s a digression nevertheless. Tencent’s influence brought the current monetization scheme to Conan Exiles, and the financial goals dictated by Tencent are what drives the current development direction.
Is it Tencent’s fault or Funcom’s? Who gives a damn? Live service games and consumer-hostile monetization suck regardless of whether they’re governed by western or eastern “philosophy”.
