Re: (Nutaku) Milenium War Aigis (English Version)
And that was only on a small scale; 20 dollars for 3000 Gold, one time purchase only or something.
See, this is what I mean. It's possible. And hey, it's 10 bucks. Not 50% exactly, but I could get a fucking pizza for this. A WHOLE PIZZA.
So, the contract Nutaku have with DMM, or Aigis devs (since DMM is a publisher I guess?), is basically fucked. All the purchased SC - a virtual currency bought with another virtual currency - are divided into profits between Nutaku and 'them'. And THEN there's still DMM somewhere in between, who probably has to get their share as well.
Who the fuck signed this atrocity? Do they hate money or something? The F2P cash shop model is such a cash cow in this age, but you NEED to use the old capitalist trick of 'save money by spending it' to get it running. And don't tell me the SC prices in Aigis are doing that - they're laughable when it comes to 'savings' (sorry you wanted some actually notice-able promotion? BETTER WOP OUT THOSE 100 BUCKS BOY).
Well, whatever. Rant over. Guess I'm keeping my money for now. Maybe order that pizza or something.
EDIT:
Huh, guess I missed that one. I only remember seeing that kind of deal for the end of the year, which I saved specifically to use to perfect Claudia.
Well I guess the sales actually DO happen, although very rarely. Hopefully I'll be there the next time.
Also, how could I forget the initial one-time account discount on the 1,000 gold purchase?
All this only confirms these discounts are very possible to do, and Nutaku doesn't really pay for them.
Also, the puzzles. F R E E G O L D. Would they implement that if they had to pay for it?
