As my first thread like this seems to be closed (censureship of uncomfortable question?), I repost it, hoping for opinions/answers. ______________________________________________________________
Please remove all those PAY-MMO's and DEMO's from the New Games overview - or better: completely remove them from ArmorGames!
It's annoying!
Thanks!
PS: I don't care how much money they pay for it to ArmorGames!
MMOs have always been there, since 2008. Stop being silly naysayers, we already have enough trouble trying to revitalize and hold together the Forums without more frenetic and panic mongering going around. I'll wager that the huge majority of people aren't even annoyed by a tiny advertisement, if this was the case, most Internet sites would be in their graves already.
The main thing that annoyed me was that it seemed like the new content was being pushed aside for the MMOs.
Aside from forcing me to log on to play, the biggest issue is most aren't that much fun. I realize they're F2P, but if some people are paying, why not have better content? Spiral Knights is actually fun.
If AG wants to make money, there are actually a lot of options. I don't purchase game content for online games, but why not bundle stuff to make it so people don't end up selling their house to pay 2 play.
If they just set up a reasonable system, and put it out there, they have enough traffic to make more money. And honestly, the ads have been around for a while now. I've used this site for at least 2 years. There are ad bars on every game, not to mention the uber-slowing backgrounds. They have ways to make money. I just don't see the MMOs as generally fun or really fitting their niche.
BTW I really dislike having to log in. This is a free site. Hence why it took me forever to get an account, and why I don't post. I like party games in person, and solo games on flash and computer.
