Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts Fans Unhappy with Multiplayer as Optional Paid DLC
The developers of the strategy Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts have gotten under the skin of their fans. All because of the inclusion of multiplayer exclusively in paid DLC.
Under normal circumstances, the addition of a multiplayer mode to an acclaimed naval strategy game like Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts would be welcomed with enthusiasm. However, Game-Labs studio managed to do it in the worst way possible, provoking the fury of their fans.
The reason for players' dissatisfaction is simple - to have fun in multiplayer, you need to purchase DLC, which costs $14.99.
- Paying extra for multiplayer is unusual, and the high price of $34.99 for Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts makes it even more significant.
- The players clearly expressed their dissatisfaction. On Steam, the Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts Multiplayer DLC has only 20% positive reviews, which the service categorizes as "mostly negative."
- Fans also conducted a review bombing of Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts. Only 56% of recent reviews praise the game, with most negative ones being posted after yesterday's DLC premiere with multiplayer.
Adding multiplayer as part of a paid DLC not only seems unfair to players but also comes across as an unwise move. Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts is a niche game, so the player base isn't big. Multiplayer in any game requires as many participants as possible, so intentionally limiting the community of online clashes in this way is a strange idea.
- Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows DLC hasn’t even launched yet, but it already has over 1,000 Steam reviews due to a silly confusion
- Reddit users call for a way to hide Steam games that used AI, but its a complex issue
- Housing in WoW: Midnight seems to have a hidden purpose. New trailer may reveal what players will be able to do
