For a shitty cash-grab company, they’re not very good at it & they don’t go about it in a particularly smart way either.
If they just want to sell Predator DLCs because they can’t afford the rights to Dutch etc. Anymore & Predator DLCs allegedly make them more money, they should just make Predators from the actual movies or other video games, or comics. Predators that are pre-existing, that already have an established lore & fanbase in the community. Ultimately, nobody really gives a shit about their cosplay Predators. They probably know this already, but they are just too lazy to do anything about getting Predators into the game that are legitimately sought-after & wanted.
You can tell people actually want movie Predators more & they are way more popular than the cosplay Predators because of how often you see the different classes when playing public matches as Fireteam. It’s particularly noticeable when you talk about their latest DLCs this year:
You almost never see any Gladiators, Anubis & I’m pretty sure I’ve only seen 1 Exalted Predator since her release. Meanwhile, you see Feral Predators every other match. What’s the difference? Feral is the only Predator of that bunch from the movies.
Same goes for the other DLC classes too. The most common DLC Predator class you’ll probably run into in my experience is Scar, with the likes of Wolf & Amazon (only common cosplay Predator) not too far behind. Pretty much all the other movie Predators are fairly common too. Meanwhile, you almost never see the likes of Samurai, Viking, Valkyrie, Pirate, Emissary etc.
Overall the most common classes you run into in publics are Hunter, Feral, Scout & Berserker though.
Hence everyone will pretty much forever be sitting here saying they want the likes of Tracker and/or Fugitive every time they release another cosplay Predator DLC.
They either just don’t get it, or they just don’t care. Potentially a case of both.
