Hey if its tinfoil then Ill put on my tinfoil hat, but I would like to hear personally from either the mods, or the company as to what they are doing when it comes to this deal. Not exactly, but 3 things that should be said.
1.Will conan exiles still be able to be played on private servers that were purchased, or will it be going to a live subscription service pushing everyone onto the same map?
-
Will conan exiles still have a single player mode, and will the promises that this company made be honored by keeping both singleplayer/multiplayer private servers running.
-
Will conan exiles still have mod support after this move is made, and will the maps within the game still be able to be modded, or is tencent coming out with packs that will replace mods.
You can say my accusations are crazy, but in truth many other companies who have partnered with tencent have done worse. So just wait when you have to pay a subscription. They try to push everyone onto the same map, and they may even make you pay for loot boxes to get certain items i.e ESO crown crates coming to a conan game near you.
It might sound like tinfoil hat craziness, but in my opinion no one should ever trust “games as a service”. If they would like to clarify this instead of keeping everyone in the dark then we can see if I am right or wrong. Although with all the cloak and dagger until release (you know since we are all just playing a glorified beta at the moment) would be nice since we can actually know what is happening to the game, and where content is going from here. I dont mind paid dlc’s as they are, but if they move out of cosmetic dlcs, and map dlcs while charging players a subscription fee for a game that is already dying I will be removing it from my steam list.
