Bombers, sim, and naval are the perfect example because they too are niche things that very few players care about.
Putting effort into bombers, naval, and sim won’t magically increase the interest in those game modes. The few players who are already interested might play em more, but that’s about it. They only thing Gajin would achieve is missing out on money they could have earned from the primary demographic.
No reason why there wouldn’t be interest in them, but who is going to fly bombers when their gameplay is abysmal and either impossible or boring, and in any case unrewarding, planes straight up made out of paper mache and gunners who seemingly have no idea what they are supposed to do or how they can do it leaving you to awkwardly try and fend them off yourself with anemic guns and weird third person offset, gun paralax thing that makes it impossible to hit anything consistently, only to run out of ammo or start a 40 second reload for again, god knows what reason.
Even if you somehow look past all that and still want to play it, and you’re trying to kill time whilst flying towards something and you dare to look at the cockpit, comparing it to PS1 graphics would be a compliment because this company that is raking in millions of dollars for doing practically nothing refuses to spend a little bit of it bringing their entire game to a basic level of quality.
Which cannot even be excused as people pay money for that, a premium vehicle and they refuse to reinvest the profits into the vehicle that made them the money, granted even premium jets have fallen victim to this complete lack of quality, like the Ariete.
Investing in other aspects of the game that isn’t top tier jets doesn’t mean you lose profits elsewhere, instead you diversify and don’t let every other aspect of your game go to shit just to cater to jet pilots.
Even if all those issues were fixed, people still wouldn’t be playing bombers cause bombers just aren’t what ppl wanna play.
Oh didn’t know you asked every single Warthunder player and every future potential Warthunder player about their preferences and interests and every one of them did not want to play bombers.
I would play bombers if they were fun and rewarding, but they’re not.
I would play naval if it was fun and rewarding, and it’s neither.
I would play tanks if it was fun and rewarding, and it’s neither.
I would give Gaijin money if they deserved it, but they don’t.
See why Gajin isn’t appealing to players like you?
Yeah, why cater to the player with expectations when there are so many out there who have none and praise them for doing the bare minimum if even that, foaming at the mouth of whatever toy they release next to satiate the hunger for a few days before they’re back in the ‘Next update’ thread fantasizing about what is next.
If more people actually had standards they wouldn’t have a choice however, but alas.
It’s why this game forever will fail to utilize it’s potential and remain mediocre at the best of days until there’s actual competition.
Why cater to the minority who aren’t the target audience?
Any group that is not catered to are going to be a minority unless you cater to them so they can actually grow into more than that.
Why cater to vegetarians when there are never vegetarians in your store? Does it have anything to do with the fact that you only sell meat? Surely not.
Yes Gaijin doesn’t care about game and players, we already know that.
But how you know it’s unprofitable??
As i said, we have to do research first and then decide if it’s unprofitable.
youre wrong, except partially about being unprofitable.
if TO was added, a part of gaijins shitty monetization scheme would become ineffective because players wouldnt be pushed to buy SPAA and CAS out of pure rage
Vegans are actually the perfect analogy for ppl who want TO.
They’re pushy, obnoxious, and constantly try to use the authorities to force everyone else to cater to their wishes. They want to be the majority so bad that they spin themselves into believing that they’re the majority. Anytime som1 else makes a good point, they just start hurling insults and try to take the moral high ground.
You don’t say.
I wonder who was making up things and lieing about what happens in the game.
Vegans are not vegetarians, but either way this isn’t the point…
They act pretty similar, and try to pull the same bs, which coincidentally is the same bs that ppl who want TO try to pull.
Either way, catering to the minority simply isn’t a logical business move unless it’ll make more money (it won’t).
Not like there is one employee, as if you can only cater to planes if you neglect bombers or vice versa.
An extra 20-30 second wait in the queue will not be an undo hardship.
Not sure what you are referring to here.
Gaijin will not resort to a pole for this.
They will decide if it is a good business move. Or not.
You can cater to both, but that’s not the best economic course of action for Gajin.
The best economic action is the do borderline nothing, copy paste as much as possible, outsource some models and count their money? Snail is sitting on a diamond mine but is happy with scraping the surface, or too greedy to invest in the equipment to earn way more.
Too greedy to invest in equipment to earn less.
Oh yeah, getting an intern to tweak some numbers to improve bomber gunners, increase the structural integrity of the plane, tweak reload numbers… going to bankrupt them!
