The WOW point card fee of that year can be said to be quite conscientious, not to mention that it is a ceiling-level game, but unfortunately, it is not only a price increase but also a mandatory monthly card later. Compared with the popular free in-app purchase games, many previous online games are not allowed to play due to the point card system. Are there still games in this paid model criticized for this?
Although the quality of free-to-play mobile games has begun to rise, in the past monthly card games are generally much stronger than free-made games, so 15 years ago, China was advocating the theory that the monthly card system must be excellent. Since the emergence of some krypton gold games, this mainstream charging mechanism has changed, and now players pay more attention to the quality of the game than the payment model.
Domestic players do not like this forced consumption model, there are many people choose to play free MMO. They are more inclined to induce consumption, so the current free-to-make props will be very popular in domestic games, the essence is a willing to fight a wish. For the point card system game, it is more to see if the player feels that this card is worth the money.
I think the game payment model is more of a means of screening users, and free games are equivalent to saving this screening. The point card system is also more suitable for the online game mode than the buyout system, and the problem of insufficient power for the production team to update the big problem of the buyout system has been solved, and the consumption limit is much lower than that of free games. However, with the problem of consumption threshold, it is certainly inferior to the mainstream stand-alone machine in terms of quality.
