enirely up to you. your choice, i am going to keep supporting them, its the game i play , regardless if they owned by tencent. and my support goes for them to continue developing the game i like period.
So they make billions, and they’ve burned all the money you’ve given them… and they still ship game-breaking bugs update after update, and you think giving them MORE money is going to be the solution?
They need to start to care.
THAT is the solution. If they don’t care based on the money they have already been given… then NEW MONEY won’t make them care all of a sudden.
they did not made those millions out of conan, each of their companies needs to be fully self sufficient, it is not tencent who makes the game is funcom/inflection does, they report profits to their parent company , but tencent is NOT doing any bugfixing, get your facts straight!.
tencent has the comunist party as shareholders… as with any other major tech company. they are all involved. so the china is also profiting for all tencent products…
i disagrree with your approach. i will invest money in whatever makes me have fun.
Funcom is a private game developer owned by Tencent, generating an estimated revenue in the tens of millions annually, with an estimated lifetime revenue of $194.3 million on Steam and up to $57 million from major titles like Dune: Awakening. [1, 2, 3]
Financial Highlights
- Historical Peak: Funcom’s most profitable year on record was 2018, hitting $33.776 million in revenue and $10.166 million in operating income, driven by the massive success of Conan Exiles
… so yeah, there you have it.
MILLIONS in profit driven by this game. Yeah, you go ahead and do whatever you want… but throwing money at these people doesn’t make them care. We know that now.
When they CARE… THEN I’ll give them some more money. Not the other way around.
If they expect me to ever spend money in the Bazaar it needs to be completely reworked and prices slashed to be on par with what DLCs used to be.
Everything must be available for purchase all the time, points needs to go in favor of real money.
It is ok to let us buy just the armors, or just the weapons, or just the building pieces, but if we later want to buy more, the total should be the same or less than each piece individually.
I got all the DLCs day one, and spent a total of 0$ in the Bazaar.
Dune I’ve no interest in, unless they make it possible to fully enjoy the game solo or on a small private server. I’ve not checked it out, but I imagine the cash shop is even worse on there..
Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Past profits don’t justify future content - the prospect of future profits does.
One doesn’t have to like it, but that’s capitalism. The fact that the game got created at all is also a product of capitalism. So with the good comes the bad.
