The Steam Points Shop Goodies Are Making Me Sad
Hey everyone!
It's been two years since DATV came to life and it has been... a wild ride considering the crazy discussions we've had about the game.
Today, I scrolled through the Points Shop in Steam, looking for a place to spend all those points I amassed in the past years bc I kind of forgot that those points existed. Obviously I stopped for the DATV background profiles and other fancy stuff. I was a bit confused when I saw that the main bundle for the game with special background etc. is Solas.
"Funny", I thought. "Maybe they didn't know who else to give the special spot."
Then I scrolled down and stumbled upon three animated stickers for the chat: Manfred (the best boy), Assan (the cutest boy) and... Dread Wolf. And, my dearest fellow DATV nerds, I hope you get the same weird and uneasy feeling as I did because that's where my conspiracy theory came to life.
WHAT IF... the Steam points goodies had been planned very early in the game's development. What if they hadn't got the time to change those plans. Thinking back to all those stories about how DATV was supposed to have an entirely different focus storywise. What if those Steam goodies are still some kind of leftover from earliest development, when the game was supposed to be about Solas? When the name hadn't been "The Veilguard" but "Dreadwolf"?
I kinda felt and feel sad thinking about all those what ifs. About the what if and what could've been of the first plans, about a game we never got to see. I mean, it would've been great, I am sure of it. (Just look at the animated Dread Wolf sticker! If this doesn't scream cute and adorable.)
I don't really have any kind of question or something for you here. I just wanted to share with you a possible (and sad) thing I found. Although I'm more than happy to hear your thoughts about it. :D
TL;DR: Steam Points Shop of DATV makes me sad because it reminds me of how much EA has taken from us with scrapping the OG storyline.
