Meanwhile, Studio Wildcard has been slammed following the addition of the "Scorched Earth" expansion in "ARK: Survival Evolved." As Parent Herald previously reported, players weren't thrilled that the game's newest DLC costs $19.99, noting the fact that the game is currently an Early Access version.
In line with the "Scorched Earth" controversy, Studio Wildcard has broken its silence and explained that "ARK: Survival Evolved" expansions were part of the game. The statement posted on Daily Express also added that the launch of first expansion early would mean an easier time to integrate more post-launch expansions.
