I have played this game since it released from beta. And it had alot of problems, graphical and network. The game came a long way since then is now playable.
Since littleorbit took over, they got us a new anti cheat sistem and trading, two things the game desperately needed.
Ive been keeping tabs on the forums and the videos make by MattScott, including the one with Kempington.
I understand the game needs to provide $ to stay alive. BUT, prices were already ridiculous and people still bought stuff, I have personally spent over 150€ or more on it, my brother over 500€, crazy right?
So I hoped the prices on guns would be lower, and I mean affordable lower. So when I get in game, after some years away and I find the changes and playability so nice now, i felt happy, until I openned armas to give it a look, and I was disappointed. 22-30€ for a single weapon, a SINGLE. WEAPON.
Thats completely ridiculous, I would understand 10$ maybe 15$ for the 3 sloted weapons which take a long time to unlock in game, but the pricing right now is just filthy money grab that G1 had.
I hope things change in the future, and we actually get a playerbase going because 250 people playing (EU) a game isnt a playerbase, and that people can actually buy some guns that are essentially SKINS for less than 20$.
To Matt and all the team, keep up the good work and do what you need to stay afloat, but honestly? Make the pricing decent, because at the moment it's a complete cash grab, and the fact it was that way before is no excuse.
