Yoshida on "the dangers of going free-to-play"

[necrosis]

I'd pay extra money for HD texture pack.

I would never pay something extra for something that should be there in the first place.

“Even for one of the question items for our next Letter from the Producer, there was a question that asks ‘when will we be able to start buying items?’ and it had about 400 thumbs ups on it. I felt that the times sure have changed.”

400 of anything in one direction with zero capacity to vote in the other direction is a useless metric.

Why this forum lacks a thumbs down option is beyond me.
