Theory as to combined arms rewards

What if D3 thought "hmm lets give an opportunity for those who pay to be good enough to get them, all 3 dino covers, and then not give any more out besides tokens to increase token, and cover purchases" icon_twisted.gif money money money
did anyone else think of this?

  • From a strictly scholastic perspective, the term "think" and your statement is an oxymoron.
  • In before Polarity berates you for your *insert monetization type here* conspiracy
  • its just a thought, and would be smart from a business perspective

    Errr... how is this any different from every single other time they've released a new character?
  • Devil Dino is only available this week if i got that right
    correct me if i'm wrong which i very well may be, but i thought that was the case
  • Because if this was the case they would only release hot characters like this instead of beast, doc ock, etc.

    No, it really wouldn't. When you are building a business and aiming for long term sustainability, such short term profit grabs are usually destructive to stable, sustained growth.

    A business model based on micro purchases has a lot of similarities to a long tail retail business. You don't ever depend on one product or one small subset of products. You have to look at the broader picture and build a foundation of sustainability. Occasional bumps are nice but they aren't what you count on.
  • Anyone else think D3 built a time machine, went back in time, and invented Injury and Death? Why? So the characters in MPQ could get injured and/or die and.........................

    Thank you.

    Well, for a start, 99% of other characters aren't dinosaurs - do we really know what Bagman really looks like under that brown paper?

    I do. He spent the night once and after he fell asleep, I peeked. He's actually kind of cute - but a little younger than I usually go for.

    I heard it's actually Gary Coleman.
