Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Melichoir]

not to "ACKCHULLY" you but I feel this needs a little correcting.

This is not "spare time", this is an entire team hired and funded by their own work to make extras. This isn't the primary developer team doing extra work on the weekends or downtime, this is a whole other team they created and fund for the purpose of making these extras. It's like hiring a whole new dessert chef who only gets paid if people order the desserts.

So what youre saying is theyre contracting out a side content thing, so that has 0 impact on the main game development because it doesnt interfere with their dev cycle. Well, doesnt that just make it even more entitlement then? This is them using part of their revenue from one aspect of the game to generate more revenue. Imagine that, another basic business strategy!

And before cute people chime in with "Wellll they couldve used that money on the main game" everything is cost analysis based. SE execs arent twirling their mustaches thinking "How can we screw the little guy even more!!!!" It boils down to them predicting that for 'x' amount of money, they can only generate either 'y' amount of return investment if they dump into into the subscriber content or 'z' amount of return investment if its a mog station exclusive. If subscriber content always generated more money, that is where we would see the money go. Theyre not gonna make mogstation shenanigans if it gets them less bang for their buck. And if you think about a lot of what is on mogstation, that seems to be the case overall - They get more bang for their buck developing subscriber content than developing other stuff.


Point in the end is still the same. They provide us with a ton of content as is, and this is more side crap at the end of the day that you can buy if you really want it. It has no bearing on the overall game within reasonable terms.

So, in other words, the answer is to either unsubscribe or deal with it, like everything else in this game.

Good to know.

Yeah pretty much. Its your wallet. Dont like a service, stop opening your wallet for it.
