A perspective from a new player on payment/player numbers

[puller]

So what you are telling us is that you have no money....but you have some sort of fake internet currency that means absolutely nothing in the real world...

In having this fake currency you think HTC should either accept this currency or put the game on steam NOTE:(I have still never even googled steam...don't really care what it is)

You know you can download the game and play for free in the free arenas under the free tab in game right??? All you have to do is have an account...

Your trolling other players and the developer are not going to get you anywhere...I still do not understand, other than the fact you have no money, why you can't play the game???

I'm just a guy who would like to play but cannot.

And why not???

From PaySafe:

Secure Information – When you buy a Paysafecard, you do not hook it to any type of bank account, credit card, or other personal information at all. In fact, all Paysafecards are bought with cash and you are given a voucher that will allow you to spend the money on your Paysafecard online without needing to enter in any information at all. If a site that you are using is then compromised, you never have to worry about your information getting into the wrong hands.

Cash - Means he can play Aces High if he wants to.

You can also play ah with check or money order.

Do not forget about the 15% merchant account transaction fee Paysafe charges and then there is the $7.50 refund fee the player eats on refunds.  Does not sound like a good deal to me.

I would think a prepaid debit card would be a better deal.

[guncrasher]

where can I go to find time to play?  hitech please I pay monthly dues every month but I cannot find the time to play due to real life issues.  makes as much sense as nugetx reason for not playing the game.

I too was wondering why he didn't just use a prepaid debit card to play AH.

It requires the verbal consent of an adult. Just guessing.

My good man, it's easiest to pay online with paysafecard in this side of the world.

and those who still don't know.  You pay with real cash at your local retailer and purchase a voucher to pay it with it online.


That's why Steam is so popular, because it allows people to pay with what they want - with real cash and not 'fake currency'.


Also Steam user base is huge, 125 million players, so the potential customer is there.

I knew it. The world IS flat after all. Like a pizza.

Sounds great! 124,999,850 LA7s, P-51Ds, Fw190D-9s and sprinkling of Tempests and 262s in your theatre shortly.

Please in front of this audience convince Hitech he wants to give Paysafe a cut of his transactions to accept Paysafe vouchers, or Steam 30%. Or increase the subscription fee past $14.95 to cover the incurred expense. So far you have not given an incentive that Hitech as a business owner in the online gaming industry has not investigated and rejected publicly in these forums over the years. Since you don't want to use the search(research) function before launching your boiler plate post at Hitech. You do get the point his response is no, so what is your purpose past this point other than ego against your audience including Hitech for rejecting you?

Well, i'm not here to convince anyone about anything.... just saying why some people cannot play this, because they use different payment methods.

Also imo by having it on Steam 2 birds can be hit with 1 stone, the payment and popularity problem. Look at general discussion the 'player numbers down' thread has 14 pages, it means there is lack of players. Steam is where players today reside, young generation, and lets be honest, games are mostly played by younger people, without credit cards. 

If this is worth the 30% of steam? it's not my decision, but if I would make a game I know I would distribute it on steam because it's the place where you make money from games today.There is a crowd on steam who just collects games for the sake of collecting, because they need to have all the games in their library, and then are the trading cards, where people trade cards with each other for real money and the developers and steam get a cut from the sales.

That's all. Peace. Over and out.
