Exactly like someone just pointed out they would have made more money overall with a bigger player base, than keeping HTE. I know people will say I'm a hypocrite since I'm in a BTB Hte clan, but I'm only doing what I have to stay competitive in wars now. That eb has led to so many imbalances within the game, and the quick money these devs saw they took and ran with it without thinking of the future of the game as a whole. This game still has so much potential, but I doubt it ever reaches it.TERRA said:What I truly want to know is if HTE has actually created more revenue for ATA. People act like ATA will never remove HTE because they make money off it, but it's not like they weren't making money before were they?
As far as I know, KaW used to consistently be a top grossing app on the App Store. It only makes it into the top 150 with events these days. Clearly something was working without HTE.
Revenues could have been higher because I feel that more people used to play the game (although I have no source on that).
And also there's also no way to prove that HTE has a correlation to a dwindling player base.
But regardless I too wish HTE wasn't around..

Exactly the point of this thread obviously this is a long shot for the devs to even read this, but this community is full of basically geniuses at things like these apps. Although you did say people will XTALL on other ebs, that's what we are trying to say you don't have to pay 6$ to xtall on another eb, so more people would be willing to spend a few extra dollars to get a few XTALLS instead of having to pay for both a seal and the xtalls.TERRA said:It's not like people are magically going NOT want to make money. If people are gonna xtal they will xtal on whatever pays the best. So why does it gotta be HTE?
But also we could all be wrong and maybe HTE does make them more money. The lower player base could be unrelated to HTE released. There are many other issues in the damn game.
But in reality, KaW is just like every other mobile game. Apps are all about being free to play but pay to win, often with aggressive tactics to get you to spend money. And in reality, KaW isn't even the worst offender. For example, I downloaded Game of War because of the constant commercials and I thought "hey maybe this is like KaW". I didn't last 20 minutes in that game. Literally right when the game loads, there are screens with promos/sales on paid items. At least KaW doesn't do that. Other games restrict how much you can play before you have to pay. At least KaW doesn't do that.
I often have mixed feelings about ATA and how they make their money. I sometimes think it isn't so bad, but other times I hate them.
But one thing for sure is I wish they would listen to the great ideas of our community and make some decent, useful changes. I don't know why they don't because in my opinion, our ideas will make for a better game and in the end, more money for them.
