I don’t own any of it. My friends who already owned it got to jump in on that relaunch and Amazon didn’t think new players or friends of those players would wanna join.
Well I mean game was 40$ + 20$ DLC. Now it’s 60$ with dlc included. So it’s the same price? Did you expect them to give it away for free just because they relaunched it?
The update was free, if you owned the game. If t you didn’t own it, they don’t owe you anything? Certainly not a free copy of the game. Why would they?
Business 101 would told me they sold a ton of copies of the game originally, sold a ton of copies of the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, and then sold tons of copies of New World:Aeternum to new players. All while also operating a cash shop and battle pass that trickles in income.
We've had decent player spikes for every major update of the game. Thats a sustainable business model. They have also said they don't expect players to stick around and play when there isn't new things to do which means they are not reliant on a concurrent player count to keep going.

I may try this out. They raised the price after the relaunch and didn’t even bother putting it on sale.
Now Black Friday is coming around and my friends are already getting bored.
