Fans of the game Dragons of Atlantis decided to boycott the Kabam product. This is the second time. They are unhappy with the price increase.
Dragons of Atlantis is one of the key projects of the American company, which earned more than $100 million for Kevin Cho and Co. The project’s user base now numbers more than 15 million people. And they are unhappy.
Kabam updated the game on August twenty-first. Not only the content turned out to be new, but also the prices, which, judging by the reviews of a number of payers, have grown seriously.
One of the important economic components of the game is to accelerate the construction and improvement of buildings. You can do this with the help of rubies, which are purchased only for real money. That’s just the minimum package costs $4.99. There are no cheaper offers in the store.
But that’s not the only problem. After the last update, the cost of content in the “soft” currency has changed significantly. This has led to the fact that now players who do not spend money cannot compete on an equal footing with paying users.
However, the price increase also hit the latter, who at high levels have to pay an amount close to $ 1,000 for the maximum upgrade of troops. For comparison, for raising the level of “epic” or “legendary” generals in the game, those users who do not want to “pour” money into the project should collect resources for about a year.
At least, that’s what fans of the game claim on the project’s fan resource – Dragons of Atlantis University.
The described changes led to the fact that a number of players, including many “whales” who had previously spent several thousand dollars in “Dragons”, gathered to boycott their favorite game, pledging not to make micropayments in it for 60 or more days.
Kabam, in turn, appeals to the fact that the absolute majority of gamers did not cause dissatisfaction with the changes. For this reason, she is not going to change anything.
There are less than a hundred people in the current group of “oppositionists” so far. This, on the scale of Kabam, is a completely frivolous figure. Recall that a year ago, the company ignored the boycott of 3.5 thousand players. Then many were outraged that a fixed maximum was introduced for the Blue Energy resource (it is not in the mobile version).
