who said hold it off?
Why breeding mechanics are still needed

the OP lmfao
With the little information available, I can say that JWE2 is very good currently
Frontier is a large company, its games selling million of units, financial resources are not lacking, they can introduce breeding yes, but it will really be something laborious and will take a long time, probably after the release of Dominion, there until I appreciate the state that the game will come in its release. Reproduction and juvenile are clearly present in the franchise, one cannot deny that. And considering the size of the Frontier company and the competence of the workers, I believe in the potential of Frontier.
In relation to Universal, they're probably holding a few things yes, but after the release of Dominion next year, I believe there should be breeding in the game yes, because this element is clearly present in the franchise since TLWJP, they shouldn't ignore that altogether
I've always dreamed of a franchise game with all its details and high quality, whether in graphics and mechanics. JWE2 is making this dream a reality, but I've always dreamed of seeing dinosaurs in the game being represented as in movies, showing reproductive and territorial behaviors and nest protection in nature. At least the question of territory has already been included, missing only one feature, breeding
JWE2 is going to be an excellent game, can't wait to play it!

Frontier has a net income of around 16 mil pounds per year. That's really not a lot considering they have to pay 600 employees. Let's estimate a general wage of 30.000 pounds per year for an average employee. That's 18 mil pounds a year just on wages. That's even more than they make in a year. So to say they don't have to worry about anything financially is just weird and wrong...
That's net profit, not income, so it's not really a case of going into debt to keep staff. You can also see they're banking money for rainy days, 45 million pounds total in the 2020 FY.
The 2019 financial year almost tripled their revenue/income (I think that's post JWE1, Mid year 2018 to mid year 2019, which makes a lot of sense)
End of the day, they're not made of money, but they're doing alright, at least until the 2021 FY says otherwise.

It's net income, net earnings or net profit. Those are the exact same thing.
But it's still not a whole lot after paying 600 employees. That was just my point.
Apparently they should be called Net and Gross, typically they're called income and profit.
It's also almost like they had extra income so they decided to hire more people to increase the efficiency of their business.
They have a contract with Universal Studios, it is almost certain that Frontier has financial support from Universal, after all, all the content of the JP/JW franchise belongs to Universal. It's certainly not easy to maintain a company with 600 workers (Frontier's exclusive expense) but introducing breeding would increase game sales considerably, because it is an feature requested since the beginning of JWE1.
If they introduce breeding into the game, I'm sure the public will be more interested in the game. The sexual dimorphism of dinosaurs should be based on skins. Males, more colorful, females, with less bright colors, as the paleontologists say
They can definitely introduce this feature, but it sure isn't something I hope for the start of the game. They can add this feature, next to the release of Dominion or later
After all, the male and juvenile dinosaurs have been in the franchise for a long time and the phrase "there are only female dinosaurs in the game like the original lore" is no longer something certain to say. The franchise itself showed otherwise.
Anyway, JWE2 is amazing the way it is currently and I hope to see more of its content soon. This game is amazing!

Yes it's usually like that, but not when it's Net numbers. You can look it up. I work in business. But I agree it's very confusing from time to time.
I don't think a breeding mechanic will increase sales in a significant way or by any proportion whatsoever. People who likes the JP/JW Franchise will buy the game regardless. It's such a small feature, that it wouldn't matter much. People buy it anyway. Just like you bought the first one yourself.
I can't recall I've ever heard somebody say, they didn't buy the first game, because the dinosaurs didn't breed. It's not important to the gameplay and story. It would just be an added feature, which is not something that holds alot of weight in moving games, or for the company.
And to be fair I doubt Universal is paying Frontier anything. It's probably the other way around. Frontier is paying Universal to use their models and rights to the franchise. They didn't invest in Frontier. Frontier bought the license.
What I meant to say is that breeding, as well as territory system, pterosaurs and marine reptiles, can rather generate an additional interest in the public. I did not say at any time that the lack of breeding would leave the game bad, What I meant to say is that breeding, as well as territory system, pterosaurs and marine reptiles, can rather generate an additional interest in the public. I didn't say at any time that the lack of breeding would make someone not buy the game, on the contrary, the game is great, but I see several people on the internet still interested in breeding and this feature would make the game even better, as there would be the possibility of creating a functional ecosystem and dinosaurs could exhibit new behaviors
How breeding does not matter much??? It is an important topic and present in the entire franchise. I know it's a matter of interest, but in the past people asked for new decorations and terrain tools, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, now they have been added. It's strange to minimize something that someone has an interest, I know you don't have much interest in breeding, but i don't minimize your ideas

Yes it could maybe make a niche crowd more interested, but you wrote it would increase game sales considerably, which I just can't see happening, when it has nothing do to with the storyline or main objectives in the game. If it would increase sales dramatically it would be the first thing they would have implemented. But it's at the bottom of the list. Would it be cool? Sure. Is it necessary? No.
I get your point...i understand but I really hope they add that. In my humble opinion, the territory system with dinosaurs behaving differently according to the availability of resources and reaction to the overlap of territories of other dinosaurs is something quite complex as well as breeding, so it is still something to be considered. They have full conditions to do this. The game without it is still great, but adding breeding would make the game even better
