SC2 Player got questions about release.

I can think of... 3 F2P games I like. Magicka: Wizard Wars, Tribes: Ascend, and AirMech. AirMech, while it is a wonderful game, had to save on money by skimping on advertising and employees. Tribes: Ascend died after - guess what - Hi-Rez found out that their MOBA was more profitable. I have no idea how well Wizard Wars is going to do, but guessing by the numbers, it isn't going to be the most popular game in the world.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that good F2Ps tend to be unprofitable; bad F2Ps tend to attract the masses.

Mind you, that is my definition of good. I am a minority in my opinion that a good game has a low skill curve, high learning curve, and a large amount of mental decisions per minute. This is the exact opposite if your average gamer's feelings towards games.

Here's one that will hit quite close to your heart, Mushroomars - MechWarrior Online

I don't know how to make an F2P game with the level of creative freedom I want in PA. So we're just making a game and selling it like normal

I think that's what almost everyone sees.

You know if any tournaments in the future is planned? Or where I can find these tournaments? Just random posts in the forum I guess?

Yeah. I guess you're right. My point was that if you have a great product, make it f2p then people will share it because It's such a great game. Then it will eventually turn into a big thing. Maybe just me being silly.

Also I'm Swedish. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Okay. I would be interested in hearing from the guys that went down the PayPal route. Thanks Cola.

Hey. Thanks for replying. I think the game will turn out great. Just had the idea of that F2P perhaps could get a bigger fanbase if the game was successfull. But it would be a big bet. Glad you went with something more ''safe'' if you can say that.

No more cash tournamens atm afaik.

Thanks ehm, Colin I guess? I'll see if I eventually can get my hands on this game.

You're welcome. More competitive players are needed.

Let's just hope it fits my playstyle and my Starcraft 2 experience comes in handy so I have an advantage ^^

Am I a lethal mind bender or what? bam! I'm so proud of my work here!

Remember, making a point is fine. Using personal attacks to do it isn't.

Well I am planning to put forward cash for one when I decide on a safe form of exchange! Hopefully soon. XD

Just do it and decide the best form of transfer afterwards with the winners.

I think it got heated quickly and I actually think the guy has come around a bit. Which is good.... So in the end he might have fought back but ended up being a little more convinced by everyone's points than it seemed.

We all have a tendency to fight our corner when something we are passionate about is getting attacked as we see it.

I wouldn't want it based on the free to play model for the reason stated by Neutrino.

Edit: Reading through this thread more I don't want to get involved or be seen to be taking sides. In games all your bases might belong to me but IRL I prefer building bridges.

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about as I actually stopped reading after just a few sentances. You're just plain wrong and I can't bother trying to prove my point to you. Bla bla bla I am horrible and can't have my own opinion.

Edit:

Btw how jealous are you?

Okay seems like an idea.

I don't care whether you read it or not. I want everyone else to read it. And how can "I'm not going to read what you say" prove you are right?

Why would I be jealous of a plonker who can't even remember what he writes himself?

Sigh... You're not the first one to get mad at me you know? I have had alot of people getting as mad as you are right now. There's no point even trying. You won't achive anything. Also you're jealous of me being 10 times better than you at PA and SC2. <3 So even if you think that I am a dumbass how does that make you right? Everyone should be able to make up their own opinion about me by reading all my posts huh? Do they really need you to tell them how to think? You're being way too serious. Now when that is out of the way, can you get out of the thread because you're pretty much the only one at the moment being very negative.
