OT: I never imagined the game could be so successful across so many platforms. Have there been any expansion packs released, or is new content simply added? I wonder if this type of game could become a successful long-term franchise. Given that so many tools are handed to the player, the game itself is virtually complete with only one installment. It creates a kind of LBP situation, where after the original, everything that follows must be radically different- either visually or creatively to justify a sequel. |
Once you buy the game, you get all updates for free, for however long they keep making them. The game is technically out now, but it's recieved lots of updates with a ton of new content since the actual release (more including beta/alpha/infdev). They're releasing weekly snapshots for the next update as well, and I feel confident in saying that we will see at least a few more updates (and probably a lot more), because they're working on a modding API to help modders and modding in general.
I'm surprised by the number of people in this thread who don't want to try or don't like the game, though. With the number of mods out there, you can do all kinds of crazy things with the game, and even the vanilla game keeps getting more stuff to do. Definitely better with friends, though.
