Emily Greer is a co-founder and the CEO of Kongregate and helps game developers on Kongregate make the maximum profits that they can off of their games. She has lots of slideshows and statistics and other stuff to help them too! I thought you guys might want to see some of it. They even use Synapse in a lot of examples and talk about how Tyrant Unleashed is the greatest idea they have ever come up with for maximizing profit off of their games!
I personally enjoy studying economics and find them fascinating and if I can squeeze in enough classes by the time I graduate college I would like to have it become a second major instead of just a minor. The classes never feel like classes to me but like a fun hobby. So I could be imagining it when I think people will find this interesting, but that’s up to you to decide:

Reading that makes me realise that power creep will not level off. They don’t want to sell us permanently good items and will bring out new op cards all the time.
As a spender in this game you should never buy a card unless you buy it at the first release.
I.E burst box comes around again, don’t buy it.
In 4 months there will be an even more op box, we should all start saving now.

Greer F2P analases would make the most compact title, but I think that the long title is well crafted and fine

He already shortened it. I would still prefer it shorter, but it is way better than the old title.

This is, perhaps, the most interesting post I’ve seen in these forums — ever. Thanx.

I get that the title is still lengthy but it peeks interest which is what it is supposed to do.

lol… a hero to the devs. Doesn’t take rocket science to monitor f2p games and figure out what’s making the most money.. obv in TU it’s the kids willing to keep spending money to stay in the top 50 in brawls and top 10 in guild wars..

people like her and the devs are not here to offer you joyful games you can build on and continue to like.. but scrap every dollar they can out of you until you lost interest and regret even spending it

You guys you can’t blame them for trying to make as much money as they can.
