Greetings, I am new player of Pathfinder Adventures (and partnered twitch streamer that wishes to stream it on PC) and I have serious questions about PC release business pricing/model you are pushing for upcoming release. Game as of now, is really good f2p app with the gameplay, that pushes you to play/farm more and more to unlock more adventures, heroes, decks, and treasure chests. You have microtransations, which works really well for those who want them. You play to get more gold, more progress, your character development, for the sake of trying unlock more gameplay elements. With recent blog post, we learned, that all mobile users who have payed for bundle or basically unlocked content with time and effort in mobile app are going to be forced to not play PC version at all because you have to buy it again for full price that doesn't do anything. What if that person wants to play PC client instead of mobile now that it's going to be released? That person is going to locked to pay for the same game twice or pay for something he already have earned in his account. The bigger problem lies within idea of "Buy it on PC = unlock everything instantly". It ruins completely your business model of microtransations in mobile app since accounts are going to be mergable and a new player can just buy PC release, unlock everything and then play on mobile with never caring about in-app purchases or farming anything. What's the point of mobile purchases then? And even bigger issue, and turn off for me as a gamer, is the fact that you get every adventure, hero, decks, even ALL premium treasure chest items on the purchase of the base game. What's the point of playing then? Quickly complete all campaigns and that's it? So to get access to the product first, you are forcing for PC customers to buy and unlock "win" button right away. This is so confusing as a business decision. Imagine other games that have a lot of unlockables, had them all available and unlocked and purchase, this is unacceptable. I was planning to stream PC release, but knowing that I will have to pay to unlock everything on the spot (and "win") and lose all gameplay interest and value of replaying/grinding is totally a huge let down. I will tune in during Q&A stream, hopefully my post will be reviewed and replied to. Thanks in advance.
