Texas Chain Saw Massacre brand strategy lead says "if the price is not acceptable to you, you have the option not to pay it" regarding DLC

Pricing information outlining what to expect from future DLC for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game has been shared on Twitter, and in response to the structure, players are uniting in their upset. 

On top of the base price of the game, players should expect to pay $15.99 for premium content, $9.99 for characters, $6.99 for executions, and an additional $4.99 for cosmetics. 

It has also been confirmed that there will be no other means to unlock this content within the game, so in-game purchases will be the only way to get your hands (chainsaws?) on these cosmetics and characters. The full pricing structure can be seen below:

Fortunately, there will still be a handful of free content added to the game, described as “maps, etc.” within the pricing breakdown, but details on what else this will include are yet to be shared. 

Players have taken to Reddit to come together and share their opinions on the pricing, suggesting that the general opinion is “finally something we [family and victim mains] can agree on.” 

However, in response to the conversation, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre brand strategy lead Matt Shotcha commented “I understand where you're coming from, and I know we can debate this to death if we want to. But ultimately, like it or not, being a realist is realizing that if the price is not acceptable to you, you have the option to not pay it, which sends a cleaner message than memes.

“That said, I'm not trying to be dismissive of the concerns, we're going to report on them. But we also have our reasons why we've priced these things at these rates, and even if I ran down the list, users here would not be interested in hearing that and accuse us of simple greed, etc.”

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
