look familiar? http://www.nexon.net/



the gameplan is to []D [] []\/[] []D a bunch of development companies and make small cash from every one of them (P2W is small cash)

This is Riot. http://www.riotgames.com/
they put all their money into one game to make it a successful actual big cash F2P.


MWO was doomed at the start.

It's the risk all founders took.
If the game fails, we took the risk
If the game succeeds yet isn't the game YOU wanted (such as not wanting a P2W element), that's a different matter alltogether.

Every publisher is a "pay to win" publisher. You know why? Because that's there job. Let me break down the complex hierarchy of the game industry for you:

Developers:
Create content

Publishers:
Sell content

That's a publisher's primary purpose and interest, to maximize profit and product uptake. That's why they exist. They don't make games, and I can think of quite a few examples in the industry that don't even understand games. They're the business end of the equation. That's why we all pray that developers have the balls to stick up for the well being of their product.

Come now Agent, you're generally one of the more sane ones. The 'i'll buy MC to spite people' thing doesn't suit you.

no.. not all F2P games are pay to win.

have you never played League of legends? the reason it is THE big game in Esports right now. is because it never because pay to win. win was awarded to skill.

pay is never associated anywhere near winning.


and the publisher still makes a ton of money. because of all the good will they've generated and brought in friends of friends of friends to the amazing game. where money is not required to be competitive.

PGI advertised this game as NON P2W during the Founder's sale. Now its P2W...so who lied where?

edit: damn fat fingers....

You are right, but the proliferation of these threads is ridiculous, if they want to be angry at something they can be angry at me.

Because (and you can quotes me):

1. this whole thign is an overreaction

2. nothing is set in stone until its in the game.

3. I was gonna buy an x-5 today anyway.

4. I need more MC to do that.

Could i have made the point a little less tauntingly, yeah I suppose.
