What'd You Expect From A Freemium Game?

[Tehclashinator]

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you are misunderstood of how a freemium game actually works. Let's go to South park for some knowledge:

Minister of Mobile Gaming: And so in conclusion, the successful premium game is based on five principles: Entice the player with a simple game loop, use lots of flashing cashings and compliments to make the player feel good about themselves, train the players to spend your fake currency, offer the player a way to spend real currency for your fake currency...
Prince of Canada: So they'll forget they're spending money.
Minister of Mobile Gaming: ...and make the game about waiting. But let the player pay not to wait. It's a surefire way to make lots of money.
Phillip: We understand micropaying, but can't the game hidden inside the charade it - just at least be fun?
Minister of Mobile Gaming: No no! It has to be just barely fun. If the game were too fun, then there would be no reason to micropay in order to make it more fun.

THIS HAS BEEN A TRUE TALE OF CLASH ACHIEVERY

Yea, think they did a good job of that. Except once you become aware as a result of a drastic change, you might just drop it instead. It's called overreaching. And others who enjoy it will maybe continue as normal or even put more into it. New population of players will stay. Whether it will grow or whither, that's up to time.

freemium? i though it was changed to p2p. my mistake then..

It's not....

A p2p game would be one in which you pay $, open game, drop any random troop you paid 1,000$ for and shoot to the top of the leaderboards. GL with that in Clash..

Freemium. The "mium" is Latin for "not really".
