You and this Army, Clash of Clans Download for Free
*Flame* Suit activated...........
When I first started playing this game...... all the commercials ended with "You and this Army, Clash of Clans, Download for Free". FREE???? Ah why not......
In my mind....it was a free game, if the developers wanted money, they could have just started the game off with a cost.... But being market smart, bring in the customers....... LOTS of THEM MILLIONS OF THEM, and they did such a great job.
Then the "Pay to Win" was available, which... I dont disagree at all, Console Gaming is doing it, PC gaming is doing it, and APP Gaming was one of the first it was a great marketing strategy.
But now........... its changed....... I think its been thrown around the "bait and switch" The Dynamics have changed SO MUCH and the "Pay to Win" is not that any more.....It has Turned into a "Pay to PLAY".
I am but one voice... and an extremely tiny voice, But figured I would throw this avenue of thought out as I have not seen it discussed in this manner,
Clash in my mind, prior to the update WAS balanced for all gamer types in a sense..... The Free players could continue to play, be matched up with similar free players and everyone one is happy.
The Pay to Win players, will be maxed and matched with those types of players
And of course the value players will be matched lower but Gem their way up, the real (Pay to Win) players.
I get the business aspect....... I truly do.... I cant deny that SC is a business..... but you guys did SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH THIS GAME...... why bite the hands that have fed you....And I am talking about the Free players........They are free to you yes... but I feel that the free players have actually helped tremendously with the expansion of the game.
1) Free players tell other people to play.... ITS FREE...(this brings more players and potential gemmers)
2) Free players are savvy and try to find ways to play free without Gemming, Doing so means researching and discussing strategy (More game play discussion, more people talking, the game becomes even more wide spread)
3) YouTubers and Gemmers are making money due to the views of Free Players trying to learn how to become better players......Thus spending money on the Game to level up.
4) Free Players eventually turn to gemmers......But they dont want to be forced....eventually...$4.99 here, $4.99 there....... "If you build it, they will come".....
This Game used to be SOOOOOO Much Fun......... honestly.....now....... not so much.......
From one truly appreciated gamer to SC....... Please dont forget us little guys......
Happy Holidays to you and your Families!
