Sega avoided gacha and pay-to-win mechanics in Sonic Rumble because they know overseas players don’t like them
Sonic Rumble's developers Makoto Tase and Takashi Iizuka talk about the upcoming party game's monetization model.
You're viewing a single thread.
You mean there are people who LIKE pay-to-win?
Asia. China and Japan, I know in particular, go nuts for pay-to-win gatcha mechanics.
Yes, the people willing to pay for them, and the companies happy to take their money.
I mean some fraction of that market is for sure addicted, which possibly stretches the definition of "like".
My thinking with a lot of those games where you have the handful of over-the-top 'spenders' is that at least a few are employees of the company given a free pass to add to their accounts. It's not like it costs them anything, but it sure incentivizes a bunch of others to buy to try and compete.
