I don't think anyone knows when that backlash will get large enough to stop the slide. The companies will keep pushing that way until the backlash they get is more than the profits they might make. The later being undeniably more profitable as it enables obfuscation of true price.

AAA gaming is currently in the midst of changing from a pay-for-single product model (the norm pre-online distribution) to a pay-per-piece-of-product (DLC/mobile type) model. I would be surprised if CA we so blatant as to release individual units as DLC. Lets hope it doesnt get to that, especially if they get down to special units and elite units only being available via purchase which throws out the multiplayer balance. Obviously mine is somewhere in between purchasing an entire faction as a new DLC and purchasing individual units as DLC, since as soon as you mentioned the possibility it left a sour taste in my mouth. Everyone has opinions, and every opinion has boundaries. Originally posted by Koba:I agree that would be distasteful. Speculating I would say that they will also release faction packs as DLC for each release that will include additional legendary characters, upgraded items from the army books, and potentially new questlines to create new scenarios. If they go down that path though, limiting yourself to 1 DLC faction per release seems a little shortsighted, so there must be more. If I was a betting man, I would say they would release each new standalone along the same model: 4 core factions and a DLC faction.Д«y the end of the third expansion, they will then have covered off each major faction in 8th edition. The first release contains 4 core factions (Greenskins, Empire, Vampire Counts and Dwarves), and 1 DLC faction (Warriors of Chaos) for a total of 5. Correct me if I am wrong, since I don't actually play the game myself.

I believe there are 15 current factions in the 8th edition rules for Warhammer, which are Beastmen, Bretonnia, Daemons of Chaos, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, The Empire, High Elves, Lizardmen, Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs and Goblins, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, Warriors of Chaos and Wood Elves.
