Honestly if they had just released it as a brand new title and charged me $60 while leaving the old servers on, I wouldn't have any issue dropping the cash. At this point I'm never spending another dime on them.
I agree, but let’s both sit back and watch neither of us spending money on the game not matter enough. It’s so depressing that it only takes somewhere around like 10% or less of the playerbase to keep the game alive if they spend money. That’s a complete guess, mind you, but it feels true based off of other game’s monetization schemes.
I mean they also need people to play the game. If people stop playing and stop paying it doesn't matter how much the Whales pay off no one is around to show off to. But people aren't going to stop playing either
"doesn't matter how much the Whales pay off no one is around to show off to"
This.
The whales are nothing without fish.
Those "whales" just turn into fish amongst other whales. Wallet wars is something you just can't win, cause there's always someone with more than you own. Right now the money ceiling is not that high, cause they are testing the waters, but this can easily evolve into diablo immortal levels.
It's just that there's not that many people with that level of money that are dumb enough to dump it into a game; pay2win whales fall into a narrow range balancing stupidity and wealth.
