One small premium squad costing as much as a full game is no matter of perspective anymore.
Premium content is without a single doubt overpriced - and I dont say this out of “greed” or selfishness, I already own enough prem units because I have always been okay with supporting the devs - but from a Monetization perspective these vastly overpriced squads have always made zero sense to me.
If you get 5$ here and there as a company - you get money from a much wider audience, but only getting 50$ from a few whales cant be profitable. I simply cant imagine this being a good way to make money.
When you choose to deliberately ignore the fact that you’re comparing a free-to-play game with classic premium titles.
Funnily enough, some of those tittles have their own microtransactions on top of it. With very similar pricing.
It’s literally industry standard.
But it isn’t. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth it for them to charge those prices. But that’s obviously not the case.
So, in fact, it’s overpriced only from your perspective. But an individual perspective isn’t some factual reality. It’s just your perception of reality.
But by definition, whales aren’t spending 50€. Even though some people think I’m a whale, I spend way way less on this game than the average whale.
Is not that we dont want to is just the mere and idiotic fact that developers couldnt care less about ppl feedback and common sense when it comes to this stuff
Guess that community gave up and now we all have be yes man cuz nothing ever happens
Anything that gives an ingame advantage basically forces you to use it as well or play deliberatelywith a handicap. It’s the same in War Thunder where Gaijin introduced bushes for tanks as “cosmetics”, promised it would never give an ingame advantage and here we are: Nowadays every player you’ll see in a tournament uses these ridiculous looking options.
I don’t want to see this for Enlisted to happen as well. If the game was realistic, body armor would also massively slow down soldiers. If they would introduce that though, no one would pick these anymore and the game would lose a cool looking uniform option. So make all of them only cosmetic and let the players decide how they want their soldiers to look.
absolutely despise these clothing options… and of course with my hatred of them it found it necessary to shower me with many of the pants for them during my extensive openings
One could claim that the “scam” here, are things like purchasing premium squads at crazy prices and having to buy cosmetics from the squad just bought, again, because they’re still locked behind gold cost.
It’s a popular complaint I see to date.
Or, it could be perceived as a scam to remove a really liked feature;
the gold order shop, allowing freedom of choice of product
And replace such liked feature… by loot boxes giving random things, also at the cost of money. No more getting what you want. Just a low possibility, playing with the hopes of the consumer in order to make him spend more.
It’s more like a collective delusion that people have convinced themselves that if they buy a premium squad, they’re suddenly entitled to use that squad’s camo on other squads for free.
Nothing like that was ever said, and nothing like that was ever offered.
So it can’t really be a scam. But I guess for people with an entitlement complex/mentality, anything that doesn’t fit their worldview is either a scam, a robbery, or immoral.
