I am not in agreement with the business model pgi has run with, and I know something about poor gamers spending money they shouldn't.
Better to have a thousand gamers spending 10 bucks, then a hundred spending a hundred. Ask league of legends.
The reason that is true is based in interest. It's it better to have a 1000 interested, or 100?
How many friends do a 100 people have to bring to the pgi mechwarrior?
And how many do the 1000 have?
What are your ideas to help pgi to make money?
I have spent 300 plus
how much have you spent and why?
I spent it believing the game was trying to recreate the battle technology from books, to do what the table top could not(after I learned what table top was), to do what the books spoke of, to make the hardest 1st person, team tactic game possible, beyond anything xbox360!
Difficulty breeds excellence, excellence breeds elite, elite breeds envy, envy breeds followers, followers prints money.
My main idea is Solaris, or equivalent...
pay 4 mêlée, either 15 to 20 mc individually, or whatever c bill equivalent.
Earn c bill or mc on match as deemed appropriate.
You can payout winners 1,2,3 as you see fit.
The turnover would be amazing.
You could Also have spectators from streaming being mc or better(legally) c bills, though you could have a mc charge to bet c bills on the match, make similar to horse betting, tri factor etc......!!!
you could even contact out las Vegas site to handle this.
They will bid for privilege of getting percentage.
Another idea is, 1 vs 1 or any combo 1 vs 2, 3, 4 streamed mc only or 2,000,000 c bill, tripple payout, and have players c bill gamble with mc fee to do.
Anyway, place your ideas to help, sarcasm is for other threads, not this one. Gl hf o7
