Discord could actually lower the price by taking a lower percentage cut and then pass that on to their consumers.

Take Monster Hunter World for example

$59.99 on Steam Direct
$53.99 on Humble Bundle

Discord could also offer it for $53.99 directly which might inspire someone to buy it on Discord vs Steam.

Now, Square is going to get their $42 either way. Discord might be willing to take a $11.99 cut vs a $17.99 cut.

For some reason, it doesn't work that way. In the past you could by a boxed game in a physical store or a digital version online. The online version should be cheaper, it wasn't. Some devs sell on their own site, on steam and on shop that sell steam keys. The game should be cheaper on the devs site and most expensive on the reseller site. But that doesn't happen.

Why would people suddenly start buyin games in the discord store instead of on steam?

Prices will be the same.

Ok, there might be less junk games. Does anyone actually notice those. I buy the games I want. I don't use steam to get to know new games.

Maybe some devs will only sell their game through the discord store and not through steam. There a lot of tripple A companies that have their own store. That works for them, because they have popular franchises. Smaller companies will sell less games if they avoid steam.

Discord isn't the first to try to compete with valve. CD Project Red tried it with GOG. I like the way CD Project Red does business and GOG isn't bad. But, it's not a popular platform. Only people who detest valve or DRM prefer it. It's just easier to keep using Steam.

Maybe there will be a concierge service in major cities that will allow players to search for item x and at least who is selling and where if not price. That's mostly wishful thinking though on my part

I doubt it. The devs chose not to use an auction house. They want players to be able to play the role of a merchant. If you need something urgently, you'll have to buy from the first merchant who has what you want. Merchants will be able to establish a name for themselfs, as the good to player to buy certain items in a certain region.

The way I understand it, fast travel will be limited. So you'll have to do with the people who happen to be around.

I prefer a character that looks a bit like me, because it's me in the game world. So in most games I've played a human male.

@ladyrowan said in Player Shop In Fractured:

I think the NPC shop has the benefit of being able to sell things without spending your playing time spamming chat channels with your goods. It will be interesting to see how that plays out across different cities or worlds.

People spamming global chat channels, asking where they can buy item X for price Y?

Please, no female armour that leave's most of their bodies naked. If someone wants to play a half naked female, let them play without armour.

@rofus said in Getting the game:

25€ is really cheap considering the potential Fractured has.

It will probably be more expensive at launch.

yes, you'll be able to make more than one character

Yet another installer? I don't mind paying a few € more when I can get a game in my steam library.

you want valve to take 35% of each purchase from DS? because that's what valve gets every time you make a purchase on Steam.

and many people already have Discord installed because it's a superior communication app.

Valve only takes 35% if the steam key is sold through steam, not for keys sold through other sites. Running the servers to install and patch games, isn't cheap. Discord won't do that for free either.

Some more videos showing off what they already have.

Yes, some resources will be common on one planet and rare or non-existing on the others. Some resources will be abundant in one location and rare in other locations of that same planet. See https://fracturedmmo.com/feature-spotlight-2-universe-planets-travels/

This will create trade, theft and wars.

@savvym said in Feature Spotlight #5 - Character Creation, Attributes And Resting:

First, sorry if it was asked/answered before, but can you change race (e.g. by starting over and resetting to level 0) or choose another character with different race after you have created your character hero? Can you also own and play for different characters with different races in one account?

Yes, you can have multiple characters of multiple races on multiple planets.

Belgium here.
