So sleeping dogs either didnt do to well that they have to make pay to win shovelware or they dont care about fans and wanted to put out p2w trash to get money from all these idiots infesting gaming today.
They’re also making a Sleeping Dogs sequel separately, so ease up on the hate.
“In October 2013, United Front Games confirmed that a game, titled Triad Wars, set within Sleeping Dogs’ universe was in production.”
“sleeping dogs universe” meaning its set in the setting not a sequel
“triad wars”
“WARS” implying its not a f2p game
betting this is that game there talking about. a f2p game for all the “hardcore gamers”.
this dev is officially in my pirate from list if they ever decide to make non f2p garbage again. im assuming they will go bankrupt like crytek is once they tried f2p and sucking off consoles.
“WARS” implying its not a f2p game
If it’s NOT a F2P game, where’s the problem? Previously you were complaining BECAUSE of F2P. And they mentioned on their FB page that it would be a sequel.
Besides, you’ve been a pirating c*nt before, so no surprise you’ll try to steal again. Probably it’s filth like you that brought Crytek down, hmm?
i steal from the unjust and those who deserve it. i am a modern day robin hood. i give to the poor, take from the corrupt rich.
enjoy being a statist and a tool.
Lol, Robin Hood? You’re a c*nt, and don’t forget it.
well sleepiings dogs sold like crap, so my guess is they will end up on doing f2p, crytek might go there as well.
