I assume that there are a lot of Regular Joe and Jane vampires in those worlds and they just don't get involved a lot because Netflix is a much better way to spend your time than trying to find new ways to kill people but for the older ones, it's like a sunk cost sort of thing.

Vamp the Masquerade is like you get bitten and you wake up hungry - you go through all that and then mostly you don't need groceries but you DO need to commit assault and battery every few nights which is probably emotionally taxing.

The TLDR of all this malkavian rambling is: none of us knew this was coming (and done) until Wednesday. Pdx could have sold lasombra and toreador as post launch support at Christmas and none of us would have known better. Instead it says they have no confidence in the product, which will kill sales.

"but they need to make money" yes, and total warhammer did this as well. freelc was the bribe for getting another lord/faction dlc every other month. The Empire only shipped with four magic lores (light, heavens, fire and Gelt's metal) and by the end of tww1 they also had shadows, beasts and life.
pnutzgg.bsky.social (@pnutzgg.bsky.social) reply parent
the worst part of this own-goal is that it could very easily be reframed as extra content post-launch. total warhammer and witcher 3 both did this to spectacular success. every other day for a month after the launch of witcher 3 new freelc was dropped in like gromit laying down train tracks
pnutzgg.bsky.social (@pnutzgg.bsky.social)
I have seen so many publishers make this decision/mistake all in vein pursuit of a happier board meeting and press release after the opening weekend. day 1 dlc is a scam, a continuation of the on-disc dlc that plagued the end of the physical disc era. cutting parts away to charge the customer more.
