00:00 - 00:05 | So I was talking to the dev team "Guys, our players want a new fusion event!" |
00:05 - 00:07 | Start coding before I release the dogs again! |
00:07 - 00:10 | Make it challenging, but rewarding. |
00:11 - 00:16 | 16 Champions, some are event rewards, others are dungeon drops, and so on |
00:17 - 00:21 | but it's going to cost like $100 to get the last champion |
00:21 - 00:24 | Can you believe it? |
00:29 - 00:31 | It's true! |
00:31 - 00:34 | and we're not going to tell them until halfway into the event! |
00:38 - 00:40 | It's true! |
00:41 - 00:47 | They're gonna work so hard, maybe even spend some gems, believing that it's possible even as free players |
00:47 - 00:50 | And as soon as the 10 day champion training sub-event ends, |
00:50 - 00:56 | we're going to tell them "The next event is give us money!" |
00:58 - 00:59 | "Give us money!" |
00:59 - 01:01 | "Give us money or no fusion for you!" |
01:04 - 01:06 | They're going to lose their shit! |
01:06 - 01:08 | I wish I could see their faces! |
01:13 - 01:14 | It's true! |
01:14 - 01:16 | I get hard just thinking about it |
01:16 - 01:20 | "Come on, open up your wallets!" |
01:21 - 01:27 | "It's a challenging event, and if you can't handle it, don't participate!" |
01:35 - 01:36 | "You should have expected this!" |
01:36 - 01:39 | "You should have expected to pay money!" |
01:41 - 01:44 | No, but for real, player feedback is important to us |
01:44 - 01:47 | We want our players to be happy |
01:47 - 01:49 | To be satisfied with the game |
01:50 - 01:53 | As long as they spend about $100 |
01:54 - 01:56 | Every month |
01:56 - 01:58 | And invite their paying friends |
01:58 - 02:02 | And if they don't want to spend, they can fuck right off |
02:05 - 02:07 | It's true! |
02:10 - 02:11 | And then |
02:11 - 02:13 | And then! |
02:15 - 02:17 | And then we told our discord server |
02:17 - 02:20 | "If you don't like the event, just don't participate!" |
02:21 - 02:28 | "We can't make the event too easy! Nevermind that you spend dozens of hours already. Paying money is difficulty!" |
02:29 - 02:30 | So they have to pay? |
02:30 - 02:32 | So they have to pay! |
02:36 - 02:39 | $50-$150 depending on how many summoning shards they saved |
02:40 - 02:42 | It's crazy that this stuff is legal |
02:50 - 02:55 | I and the other Plarium execs were laughing all the way to the bank |
02:56 - 02:58 | You did a good job with the event? |
02:58 - 03:04 | We did a great job. So many people are going to feel forced to pay us, or admit they wasted their time |
03:04 - 03:09 | They spent dozens of hours and have one or two shitty epics to show for it |
03:09 - 03:11 | I can't believe we'll get away with this |
03:16 - 03:20 | The event is "Pay us Money!" |
03:23 - 03:26 | Of course we didn't tell them until a week into the event |
03:31 - 03:36 | Now I have to get back to the office and think up some more ways to force players to pay money |
