For me, it’s not a problem. people spend money on all sorts of pointless s### things in games. For example, in Clash of Clans, you can buy diamonds that are worthless and don’t affect the game’s progression over time. In every game, there is the option to buy various skins and other things. This is just a stupid example of what could be added to the game.So, why shouldn’t it be the same in AOM Retold? No one is forcing you to buy anything you don’t want. :rofl:

If you want to be treated as an ATM to have your base instinct to fear missing out on opportunities abused for profits, there are plenty of ways you can be exploited for your money. I don’t believe that should be in video games and I don’t want them in the ones I play. This kind of event content is something that should be free frankly. If they can’t spare the developer time/man-hours for it and need the income, put it in a proper DLC and sell me something real instead of trying to nickel-and-dime me for every scintilla I have.

Again, if you want to be milked like a cow for your money, feel free to play just about any mobile game you want. They all use this kind of business model where you can get the ugly base art for free, but pay for anything that’s aesthetically pleasing or useful in the game.

If it doesn’t affect gameplay, I don’t see any problem with skins, as long as it doesn’t turn into something like PUBG, where everyone looks like they’re in a circus with pink weapons etc… Simple things like ‘instead of a spear, the hoplite holds a pitchfork,’ I don’t mind. Or having the option to customize your town center with decorative items. What would be the problem with that? I think it would be really cool to have those possibilities for decoration in the Town Centers, for example. If this helps the game attract more players and more people working to make the game better, I support it.

My english is not perfect:
I am a former Dota player… I remember well that Icefrog/Blizzard always made a special version of Dota map for Christmas. Instead of the main tree in the center of base, there was a Christmas tree, and the heroes wore Santa Claus hats… I’m just giving a random example of things that could be added without affecting the game, and I’m not saying that these should be added. For example, I would love it if the Fortress for Zeus looked different from the Fortress for Poseidon, not too much, of course. And so on for each building. I would like each building for every god to be unique and different.Today’s players are completely different than before. Its hard to translate bu we in the Balkans say ‘looking for a hair in an egg’.
I simply cannot bear the fact that there are games made literally in 3-4 weeks that become 100 times more popular than AOM Retold, for example. Minimal effort is invested, and millions $ are earned, while on the other side, a whole team of people is working on animation, music, AI programming, etc., and in the end, nothing… Today’s market is terrible and i HATE THAT !
