| the_dengle said: The point of dual versions isn't to get people to double-dip. It's to encourage (or necessitate, if you're interested in completion) social play. Each Oracle game was completely distinct. They were not two slightly changed versions of the same game. It was worth buying the second game for its own merits, the extra content accessed by linking them was bonus material. |
Yeah, but they already have other ways of encouraging social play, like the Friend Safari. (Which I hate, for many reasons, but that isn't the point) I know that the Oracle games are destinct. I'm staying that the versions could go that route instead, while also taking a Friend Safari approach to version exclusives. Instead of it depending on which version you buy, they could depend on more intimate elements of your game, like what Friend Safari does with your friend code. It could allow each individial to have their own unique ecosystem without depending on versions.
