They’re being sold as DLC
I have a real love-hate relationship withApril Fools’ Day. I love the creativity on display, but hate that most of the cool things “announced” on that day are often just videos. Sometimes, the gags are real, and theresults are terrific. Bohemia Interactive madea videofeaturing go karts in its military first-person shooterArma 3and now that stuff is real, playable DLC.
Arma 3 Kartsisavailable nowon Steam for $1.99, with a portion of proceeds going to the Czech Red Cross. A fun add-on, to be sure, but there’s plenty more serious content on the way too.
Players will want to read up on Bohemia’s strategy for not segmenting the multiplayer community with paid content, as detailed in thisblog post. Essentially, premium DLC can be experienced even if players don’t “own” it, though there will be some restrictions in place as far as single-player scenarios go, and there are notifications. It’s the studio’s way of continuing to supportArma 3and treat fans well given the “realities of running a business and the costs of quality development.”
