Hehe, it's all in the game now, isn't it? Reading through the comments and watching videos, I somehow find myself longing back to games you could buy at a fixed price and have it all.

I'm of course talking about the 'Force2Pay' scheme employed by a lot of game suppliers these days. If it's working would be down to the personality and to some extent the wallet of the player. As stated though, greed is never a long term success (you would have to give much back and leave one-sided greed to make it work)

Like another AFU below, I've played since late 2013 and I've seen it go from good to bad, especially since Vivendi's hostile takeover back in June 2016.

"Michel and Yves Guillemot maintains that Vivendi’s hostile approach goes against the best interest of Gameloft, both for its activity and for its teams."

Thanks @spudanky, great blog :)
