YOU'RE WELCOME!
well there u go you buy some for 5 or 10€ now and then... But if everybody does it, you make a lot of money 50€ at once isn't that strange
same in spiral knights you can actualy see when they give out promotional items (they did a dragon wing thingy a few weeks back and the game is loaded with them. i think it was a 15€ pack so.) F2P games are good but on the same page F2P people will allways whine about P2P players having better stuff (or get it faster)
so there strategy worked i guess but i think what they have to concentrate on is to fix the crash-problem...
allways people wanting new stuff fast TF2 is the best example, how many people didn't buy the polycount packs when they came out (and other packs following) F2P works no question about it, just need a good game and stuff people are willing to give money for
I didn't use any real money on the game but i only bought the game before it became F2P. People allways wonder did i buy anything because ihave buds and a bills hat.... The store is overpriced anyway :3
