Hey man, stop beating down on HTC.
Keeping a game alive for such a long time is a feat in itself.
I am not smart, young or innovative enough to say I know how to fix the current situation (I can admit that, no matter how much I want things to be different).
When I started I was lured in by the massive scale of battles and the knowledge of a larger sphere of influence.
It really is the same situation as someone whos is an old person trying to be young, hip and relevent again (is the best way I can see things atm). How do you do it? I am sure there are hundreds of examples to copy but sometimes situations/conditions just work against you and there is little to do to fight it off. You cant control everything and the intricacies of humanity and the universe are not easy to venture through.
- Should HTC try to profile their players better through tracking?
- Should it be pay-for-planes only (like ROF/IL2)?
- Should they try traditional advertising systems?
- Are they taking advantage of social networking and modern youtubers/twitchers/streamers for advertisments?
HTC know their own problems best and all we can do is support them in any ways we can.
