What 2k steam players?
Every game on steam has charts. Last I looked in a very quick valley, they had something like 3300, and almost instant slam of down to like 1200-1300. I'm not reciting exact numbers, because I'm not taking time to look it up again. That's 2k. I got exhausted reading their bugs on a beta update. Maybe a cute game, but it's crawling with easy found bugs, swiss cheese programming. IMO.
People think I'm just saying because Ah is my only game,.. just stating what I saw. Point being, our numbers are creaping up in the MA, while the other 3 sims are dropping. And if I found the best center point to explain why all 3,.. it's their pricing methods are the most common complaints I saw. They are not happy with the chosen direction.
And yes, this post is bad business. and everyone like it, whether the community accepts it or not. A new player comes in to the bbs to check it out, and with this on top,.. "well hell, if these guys are playing this other game I might as well take the short path and go try that too. It's the most common sense in the world of biz, no mater the biz. The community acceptance of this is why I say, they are sinking themselves.
Once it's acceptable, there's nothing that will save this in any great degree. It shows new players "ya we threw i the towel on this,.. go try that..." I find it very hard I would even need to explain this. Walk into McDs with a Burger King bag and watch how fast they ask you to leave. it's not me,.. in biz in general.
Personally, I may make a vid or two,.. but I won't waste my time battling stuff like this with doing anything else.,... it's biz suicide. All I can say now is,.. there's the cliff,... jump. I had high hopes I might be able to make some difference with my experience with Kesmai/AW and some with AH,... that's gone. Best I can do is play when I can and wish you all well. Quite frankly, if I owned the game and some who worked for me allowed this, I'd fire them instantly.<shrug> to each their own, what ever blows your skirt up,... my efforts are pretty much over. Please continue,... the path is shorter.
