I wouldn't call Beta access useless... But okay, say what you want about EE.

Right, sorry for supporting this game.

Technically I haven't payed anything for this game, I have all classics and beta/chat(when you had to pay for it). I just had nice people buy them for me, and birthday gamestop giftcard for kreds -> gems -> classics.

Aoitenshi · 2015-08-23 06:28:04

I would pay more if it isn't for goddamn Kong sucking all the money I paid.

The success of a game like EE depends largely on the number of players.
The more players, the more value the game has for each player.
The freemium pricing strategy means the game is free-to-play, thus drawing in more players.

Assuming the word "poop" here is used as slang for something that is useless. While that doesn't make "worthless poop" a tautology, you're basically saying the proprietary features/functionality/virtual goods have no real value. As a general statement that is not a fact. It is subjective, because for some players, the content they buy enhances their experience of the game. If one can describe the enhancements that players can currently buy as "worthless poop", that may be a good thing. Here's why. What if the free version of the game would annoy the player, and paying money would disable the distraction. Would you rather have that than allowing players to buy a unique smiley with a top hat and monocle (Big Spender)? What if players could pay money to skip minis or temporarily fly around in any level they'd want. Would you rather have that than allowing players to see new features before other players (Beta Access)? Be careful what you wish for... what if you couldn't get checkpoints with energy? Checkpoints aren't "worthless poop", but making them gems-only wouldn't be an improvement. You don't want the free version to feel limited by comparison.

The answer to this is actually very simple. As a 'thank you'. If you like the game and would've paid $5 for it if it wasn't free, why not get 50 gems for $5. This is the same reason why players get fun hats for Team Fortress 2. If you're a Team Fortress 2 player and you've got 150 hours on record, then why not get a cosmetic item to give yourself a different look in-game. If anything, we need more "poop", to give players a wider range of less expensive (than the Big Spender and Diamond) gems-only items to pick from. And less non-"poop", because the things that are closest to non-"poop", like Builders Club, have the highest risk of making the free version feel limited by comparison. EE is a great game. It exists in its current state because of large investments of time and energy (and money - not just for traffic) by the staff. You don't just pay money for the "poop", you pay money for the game to exist and to be improved/polished. Again, what has the most value is subjective. Some players will prefer to use the 50 gems to buy blocks, others will get a gem code to organize a hunt, and so on.

beta, and a surprise gift from anon for 12 months of BC, +1 month of Beta BC, which gives me 13 months of free BC

nice

2015-08-23 15:05:10

I got beta and old chat but both of these were rewards from a contest SquadFS made a few years ago. Otherwise, nope.

Stubby · 2015-08-23 15:29:12

I've paid $10 for Beta, maybe $5 or $10 for three classic items during a black friday sale, and $0.01 for chat.

Processor · 2015-08-23 15:31:03

$40 for classics and beta.

Basically what nlmdejonge wrote is inaccurate.

So... What is a gem? It's worthless poop and that's what it is. It's some tiny integer in a huge storage space of terabytes. A tiny molecule in the huge yahoo games network. But it costs money. Talk about paying five full dollars which can be used for something much more useful on some stupid fifty hexagon shaped virtual rubies which do not help you in any way. What does it do? It gives you some other tiny Boolean for whether you own a stupid piece of graphic.

And what can you do with this graphic? Waste more of your precious time which can again be used for something more useful in building some art in case of blocks, and just have another ugly 26x26 round.

There are thing you our lifes that makes you happy, playing everybody edits is one for most of us, if spent money in what you like will increase our happyness by playing this game, is a good bet, most of people will not spent many money to get things like big spender and diamond, because it is useless, talking about the blocks, beta acess, builders club, it is something that will give more game value.
YOUR argument is inaccurate.

hummerz5 · 2015-08-23 18:34:08

If we want to throw everything into perspective, consider this:
Gems are a "thank you" for supporting a game's development. You could take all the images, blocks, shapes, GUI, and put them into a separate client (here's to you, NVD). Then you could charge $0 or something very small. People would enjoy your free graphics. So, the ownership or lack thereof concerning pieces of the swf images isn't at stake. Clearly you can make modded clients where you have what you want.

Again, gems are simply showing your support for a game. To thank you for your thanking, you're given a unique currency that allows you to purchase various items.

Though I would agree. The great wall of text assume a degree of seriousness very exaggerated. The mechanics, style, tone, etc. suggested you meant nothing from your post.

BuzzerBee · 2015-08-23 18:48:03

Let's see, I've probably spent about $50 total on EE and I've been playing for nearly 5 years so.
Some of the stuff I paid for wasn't for myself, though. For example I bought some gems for the contest, I bought some of my friends chat when it wasn't feee., etc.

Anak · 2015-08-23 19:06:56

I haven't spent anything on EE but I might support it at some point by getting classics, or beta, or big spender, or something like that

I did mean what I wrote. (Assuming you're talking about me, seeing you mention a "wall of text".)
The style and tone of my writing probably just reflects the kind of person I am. Plus, it changed with age; I'm old (37).

sorry, I was addressing bimps... you were mentioned in third person as the writer of the great wall, yes.
