To what extent does Warhorse Studios plan to support this game going forward? At the time I’m writing this post Kingdom Come: Deliverance has sold at least 1,000,000 copies in its first week. At roughly $60 a game that equals out to roughly $60,000,000 which dwarfs their developing budget for this game of $5,000,000. If sales of the game completely stopped now and Warhorse Studios shuddered its doors, they still made an extremely successful game that most larger developers would be envious of. However, from what I understand there are still elements missing from what they promised their kick starters and they plan on adding them later. Is Warhorse going to add even more DLC going forward? Is it going to be paid or free DLC? How many gameplay changes, DLC’s, and bug fixes are they committed to implementing before they believe its time to focus solely on their next game? The reason I ask these questions is because I love this game and see serious potential in Warhorse Studios becoming a household name but I’m pessimistic about the gaming industry. In my opinion the support a game receives after launch is more important than the game itself. Look at Battlefield 4’s launch as an example, a terrible NET code combined with game breaking bugs and balancing crippled its player base in a few months. Then DICE LA committed themselves to fixing and supporting the game till perfection resulting into one of the best modern FPS games ever made. I would like to see Warhorse Studios totally commit to perfecting and expanding Kingdom Come: Deliverance for at least 1½ years which would help build a strong foundation for this IP and the studio as a whole. What do you think? Has Warhorse Studios already indicated their commitment to this IP with the huge day one patch and the 1.2 update shortly after? Do any features need to be added to the game? Do current gameplay features need to be expanded upon? I personally would like to see more abundant and more completed armor sets or styles so that when you wear a complete set or style you get a well fitted bonus to mobility, noise, or durability et cetera. A good example being a full set of Polish armor resulting in a +1 to horsemanship or pole arms. What would you want to see added to this game through free or paid DLC? Please discuss below.
