BEFORE READING, BE SURE TO KNOW THAT THE DX9 VERSION WON'T BE UPGRADABLE AT ALL, THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON DIFFERENT SERVERS AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE CAPABLE OF PLAYING WITH A FRIEND THAT BUYS THE NEW VERSION. ALSO, REMEMBER THE FACT THAT THEY'RE ALREADY RELEASING MOST OF THE CONTENT FOR FREE, AND THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER ALL THE WAIT HERE ON PC, WE GOT AN OLD DX9 VERSION OF THE GAME, WE NEEDED TO PATCH IT WITH MODS AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO BUY A THE NEW VERSION AT FULL PRICE TO GET THE EXPERIENCE PC ALWAYS DESERVED, HAVING NO HARDWARE RESTRICTIONS UNLIKE CONSOLES.

Do you really think that having the PC community splitted into two is right?

Here's a thread that gathers a lot of information into it: http://steamcommunity.com/app/236430/discussions/0/624076027426323183/

(A,B ecc. are the different servers, the DX9 also won't get new enemy placement and gameplay design)

Namco released some patch notes, the dx9 update is coming at February 5th, it's clear that they're putting a lot of effort into this:

Alright, we know that you're putting a lot of work into it (work that you should have put into it since the beginning instead of hurrying up with Bloodborne)

We know that you expect all of this work to be paid as a companies made out of people who have families etc. etc.

But why do people that buy Scholar of The First Sin get the DLCs and people with the DLCs don't get Scholar of The First Sin?

Why do I have to pay again in order to play with a friend that I introduced to your franchise?

You said that we'd get the full experience from the beginning.

We've REALLY loved you a lot for what you did. Is this what you do to us now?

You do know about the IMMENSE community that produces content about your games, right? Tanooki Suit made Lordvessel, an incredible song just for Dark Souls. There are tributes, pvp montages, build showcases, weapon showcases, videos that explain the lore around the game, everyone really loves your work, that's why we've critiziced you a lot. Because we know that you're better than that.

This community is insanely big, there are covenants, teams of streamers and youtubers, people that go beyond playing the game and spend their time making high quality content just to glorify what you did until now.

Do you really want to split us THAT much? So that we won't be capable to enjoying playing with others in a year or maybe less? Why would you do that? Even here on PC!!!

Remember all the hate that has been thrown at you since you released the beta of what you announced? Do you think that now all that hate will turn into love instead of much more hate?

Before being a fan I'm a customer, and as anybody else I think I deserve a beautiful experience by buying your games, instead of a lot rage after getting that I bought an INCOMPLETE product, rage after knowing that you're trying to make us pay again for having the incomplete product complete and rage knowing that you're not making this clear to anyone.

I hope we get the dx11 as some sort of update (paid or not) since you're already giving out most of the content for free.

Please make this end with everybody enjoying their copy of Dark Souls II and giving credits to the ones who made this a masterpiece. 

Please don't make us hate the ones that produce what we love.
