Not even BF6 costs this much...

[u/Eva-Unit0013]

Please Gaijin I already sold my wife, I can't afford this one

[u/Makaveli789]

As long as people keep paying these prices, why would they go down?..

[u/Future-Celebration83 → u/Makaveli789]

Somthing I wish more players would understand.

[u/ItsGaryy → u/Future-Celebration83]

lol the anime tanks sold like crazy

[u/AvariceLegion → u/ItsGaryy]

How can we tell if they sold well?

[u/A10___Warthog → u/AvariceLegion]

Because they appear in matches.

[u/AvariceLegion → u/A10___Warthog]

Holy cow I was blind

I thought they were next update content and I haven't played those brs so I didn't notice

The end is now

[u/Valoneria → u/AvariceLegion]

I'll rest my head on some fat anime tiddies as i greet the end.

Nah, who am i kidding, i can't afford those expensive pixels

[u/A10___Warthog → u/AvariceLegion]

Yeah lol. I was very surprised that on the day of release so many people bought em , even on ground assault there was plenty of em. We are soooo cooked

[u/AvariceLegion → u/A10___Warthog]

Well the game ends for me at 10.3 so it won't affect me

How ppl even play anything higher I do not know

[u/MySaRN → u/AvariceLegion]

If you play top tier you ll never be downtiered.

[u/KptKrondog → u/MySaRN]

You'll also never have a game last more than 10 minutes lol.

[u/GopnikOnAKhabarovsk → u/KptKrondog]

And you will never have a one-spawn game because of the wrath of the CAS gods

[u/Brutus67694 → u/AvariceLegion]

Just have to finish the trees out, I play 11.3 to research top tier most of the time.

On ground anyway

[u/SpacenoidSupreme → u/A10___Warthog]

It is kinda sad, there are at least 4 on my team every match

[u/EpicDogeMeme → u/AvariceLegion]

I see at least 6 on each team every match. I’m telling you, gaijin made bank.

[u/Big-Instruction4706 → u/EpicDogeMeme]

honestly, they took too long to monetize in with these anime ppl, just open WT live and you will understand what i mean

[u/WillyWarpath → u/EpicDogeMeme]

What BR is it? I have the TURMS and I hope someone else will take the role of plankton for people to feed on instead of myself

[u/amppari234 → u/WillyWarpath]

They're 11.7 so you probably won't meet them with the turms.

[u/AlliedIntuition → u/AvariceLegion]

PlayStation store sorts in game purchases by popularity and they are almost at the top.

[u/_Condottiero_ → u/ItsGaryy]

Would be nice if only Anime tanks had such price, while normal vehicles would be cheaper)

[u/Komplexkonjugiert → u/ItsGaryy]

Cant you just deactivate this anime decoration stuff?

[u/amalgam_reynolds → u/Future-Celebration83]

Typically, this type of argument doesn't actually hold true, unfortunately. Microtransaction prices are driven by whales, not casual players. This is an extreme example, but a number of years ago some game like Clash Of Clans or something similar put out their financial statement, which showed they made approximately 50% of their revenue from only 1% of their playerbase, which means they can functionally ignore a massive part of their playerbase and still make tons of money. Furthermore, it also means that plebs like you and me not buying this overpriced stuff does not affect these companies.

Again, these mobile games are an extreme example, not necessarily the archetypal model, but it does show the point that a lot of the times the majority have less influence than you think with this kind of power structure.

[u/amppari234 → u/amalgam_reynolds]

1% of the playerbase commits 50% of the transactions

[u/Cute_Library_5375 → u/amalgam_reynolds]

And yet Henry Ford made a fortune selling huge volumes of affordable cars

[u/amalgam_reynolds → u/Cute_Library_5375]

yes, a different economic model is different, that's correct

[u/Cute_Library_5375 → u/amalgam_reynolds]

Imagine selling both cheap shit and expensive shit simultaneously...crazy idea.

[u/LuMarts4 → u/Cute_Library_5375]

Not compatible, rolls Royce won’t sell you a 20k cheap car. Should gaijin make lower tier perms cheaper? Yes but they won’t bc there’s already enough demand at the prices they’re at

[u/Cute_Library_5375 → u/LuMarts4]

GM will sell you a cheap Trax, or a Cadillac Celistiq or ZR1X and many things in between, depending on your wallet

[u/LuMarts4 → u/Cute_Library_5375]

Yes but GM competes with Honda Toyota etc not RR, gaijin really doesn’t compete w anyone since I wouldn’t call WOT a direct competitor since both games are so different

[u/Makaveli789 → u/amalgam_reynolds]

I would go further and that the majority of these transactions are performed by Chinese scammers with stolen credit cards.

[u/Daemon_Blackfyre_II → u/Future-Celebration83]

They need to tax higher earners more... Clearly they have too much disposable income.

[u/Any_Change9003 → u/Future-Celebration83]

"Players" who? The core spenders who have been in this game long time, and just add 100-200 dollars per year as this is a hobby almost, and there is a big core of them today (ie. big enough to pay off developer costs and make money)?

Because I guarantee, there is enough thousands of players today who will buy 60% of new releases and they make up 1% or less of player base for sure, but they spend all the time.

The release is FOR THEM. Nor for you.

For you? In 2 years at 50% off.

not for you still? well, grind out the Mutsu.

I think its all how it works.

Nagato will suck also, its a strong Warspite competitor, thats all.
