Tencent knows that P2W models drive players away, which in turn loses them profit.

The game is healthy and fun, you all need to relax, it’s not going to go pay2win. The only change I could see coming would be some type of league pass that grants good cosmetics based on completion (similar to fortnite battle pass). Let’s refrain from hitting the panic button just yet. Don’t expect to get rational responses. All you will get presenting logic like this is negative Nancy’s yelling “the sky is falling”. Usually these people are miserable in their lives and just like to complain. Misery loves company I should know better already but people are obnoxious with how they latch on to stereotypes and stigmas about business practices. I think people were under the impression that all their supporter packs were going to a few dudes in a tiny closet. People like to make money. Enjoy the game while it’s fun. Support if you want to or put zero dollars into it. It will die eventually because all games do at some point. I’d hate to see what these people would do with a real crisis.

If all games failed that Tencent acquired, then they obviously wouldn’t be near as successful as they are. They are very successful for a reason	Beitrag von Mentoya#7912 am 21.05.2018, 19:55:24 Diesen Beitrag zitieren
Sorry, but I really don't believe it will not affect the game. Maybe not in a month, but in years to come. Truly a sad day, a big company swallowed another small fish.	Beitrag von Insan_e#2156 am 21.05.2018, 19:57:00 Diesen Beitrag zitieren

"Invested" in GGG. LOL, they bought your ass, that's more than just an investment. Hopefully the game doesn't take a nosedive for it. Good luck, I'll keep my credit card in my pocket for the immediate future until i see where this game is headed with our new chinese overlords	Beitrag von sloanekettering#1202 am 21.05.2018, 20:02:45 Diesen Beitrag zitieren

I wish I could be hopeful, I've put a lot of time and money into this game. I love it. Do NOT let them take away what you have created. By any means, this game has kept me out of the darkness for years.	Beitrag von TheVikingStory#0653 am 21.05.2018, 20:05:31 Diesen Beitrag zitieren
