The market itself is inherently unhealty for the community.
Grinding for the sake of getting a monetary return is not a video game, it’s now a job, and has to be judged as such. And even your “good” example of $100 for 40 hours worked is an atrocious payout.
The market simply existing is unhealthy. People spending a work week’s worth of time while hoping to be paid, at best, $2.50/hour is exceptionally unhealthy.
The time of make game for teh sake of game is long gone.
When Gajin did try to get money somhow else every one start bitching.
The server and bills need to be payed somhow.
Now we have a scam market, op premiums, cheaters and farmers everwhere.
In what fantasy world do you live where paying 40 bucks for a full game gives you live long support for it? or any game?
Its all live action service now and only. Every company will scam and try to scam you as hard as they can. Hence WT goes to mobile as mobile users are even more oblivius and dont now how to spend there money.
You need to look from both sides.
Gajin is not a welfare organisation.
Salarys, servers further devlopment and so forth need to be payed. not just tomorow but for many years to come.
Most of that has nothing to do with event vehicles and the market.
Yes, Gaijin is a for-profit company just like any other; I never commented on any other source of potential revenue, that would be derailing the topic.
Events as they used to exist, where it was impossible to obtain every vehicle, were not necessary for the devs to make a profit. This is made exceptionally obvious by the fact that we… don’t have that system anymore.
They probably make even more now from the GEing tokens anyway.
