Let's face it. With the upcoming new servers coming, WC has dumped and will continue to dump a LOT of money into just their servers alone. And with their earlier oath on Steam that they will not ever have micro-transactions, this led me to wonder just HOW are they going to make a profit on this? How is WC gonna get the money to keep this many servers going and thus keep ARK alive? Don't get me wrong, it's lovely that they are doing this server thing to please the crowds, but it's made me worried
I think DLCs will be valuable going forwards, showing us that there are many other variants of 'The Ark" as well as being a conduit for new content (builds, Armor, animals etc)
Id love to see a map like, an Ark that is somehow malfunctioning or is very old and breaking down creating genetic anomalies, superstorms,swathes of land that has no oxygen or wild temp variations that kind of thing. Many good things they could do here!
