Crysis Dx11, Seth-anate your customers....

Hello all, I am Glad this topic has been opened

It would seem to me someone new is in charge at Cry, NOW this maybe old news or news we have not heard of but something has changed with the Company, New business ideas of Going F2p only in the future is just plane and simply wrong, if you look at and i will caps this just so we all know that im not just talking hot air, EVIDENCE AND STATISTICS that we the customer/consumer. do not like free to play there is no drive to earn titles, weapons, Armour, trophies, skills, loot, gear, anything it all becomes effortless when you can simply PAY for the item that the thrill of the chase is gone.

Now i know this is about Crysis3 being dx11 only let me get back to the topic.
i have worked in video game stores up till about 2 years ago, when i decided i needed to start earning some money. and during that time i learned a few things about customers habits,

1 when they have fallen in love with an ip they love the IP the way it is. and going forward
you have to change everything and yet stick true to the original concepts

2 when a new concept is introduce into the loved IP it alienates the fan it pushes them away if it is not implemented properly

and 3 if you have an IP that you want to make changes too, NEVER take it to a place where your original fans cannot get too it

they will be disappointed in your company your ethics and your business practice.

i think i read a quote from someone a week or so ago which i think suites the company well

"f2p, dx11 only ?, ByeBye Crytec it's for YOU, not for ME.

it will be interesting to see how well Crysis3 will sell on pc my gf works in Game UK and i have asked her to update me on how it sells, purely for interest not that i will do anything with that information it is just to see how right or wrong i am

Thanks for reading :D
