is PQ Dark Reign profitable?

I really like this game and I know a company needs to make a profit to stay in business. It keeps the devs working, keeps IceIX off the streets and fed and gives players new things and updates. For example...Candy Crush on their platforms averages about $850,000.000 a day in micro transactions. No need for numbers but I'm wishing that this game will continue on for a long time.

  • It hovers around the top 50 grossing in the Google Play store pretty consistently, so I assume yes. Highest I've seen it peak is around 20 or so. Not many games can achieve that.
  • Candy Crush likely doesn't have the same licensing requirements as a marvel game. Disney's gotta make it's money...

    We're not doing badly at the moment. As with any project though (unless your name rhymes with Ball of Shooty), boxed game or digital, there's a long way to go before all the costs leading up to launch recoups.
  • Glad to hear it! I do my part and provide cannon fodder for the paying customers. Tis the least I can do icon_e_smile.gif

    Seriously, I'd be willng to pay if I found the right thing to pay for. I do want the game to succeed and feel it has earned my money. Perhaps PvE chapters that I could play/replay at my leasure.
  • Yesterday I throw $50 only get 4 loki, 1 hood, 1 rag, 1 doom and 1 magneto, so yeah, I think this game really profitable...
  • as i thought, new characters means license.this is a good game nonetheless
    i look forward to see this game has a lot of heroes like in Marvel alliance.
    new character=more fun=more $
  • Yup, I really do hope this game will do well.
    Love the gaming system, best thing is this game is well design to fit all kinds of people.
    *consider some of the games that i played required time and money to have nice rewards*

    And as other agents mentioned, it will be good that there's some offline campaign for us to work on when there's low connection around the tunnel / trains. We are able to continue to play and earn some ISO / cards along the way.

    Also please no Reset of abilities level (gotten to pissed people off but this is to protect the game in future), cause by doing this, everyone will be able to whack on the packs hoping to get full level ability card and ask for a reset to change to their level liking.

    Wouldn't people buying more covers (or spending HP to straight upgrade) get them more money?
  • No doubt it is. I'm guessing if they haven't already recouped their launch cost, they will shortly. It's difficult to resit the urge to unlock new covers, speed up health recovery, and to level up powers. I'm done donating cash to the game, but I did my part and then some. I've dropped about $200 into the game since it launched. icon_lol.gif
