That model only works if the consumers continue to fall for it. It also comes with some very heavy long term penalties. What is generally never known or spoken of is the true potential of profit in a great product. Candy Crush is a good example. It's a decent simple game, but it will never become anything more. Thus a predatory model fits well. However, in the case of WOW or other games that can actually obtain over 1 Million concurrent players there is more opportunity.

Ncsoft is also a great example of long term damage. They are advertising new games finally. Streamers are covering them and you can see their live chat. It's non stop spam of dead game, P2W, LoL Ncsoft. Overwhelming and deserved hatred for the company.

Pearl Abyss will eventually be pushing additional products and may face similar circumstances. The forums and game are nothing in compared to the real MMO community. There they won't have the ability to control or censor information. That same chat spam will go on and people will see it.

I would 100% agree with you, but than the Bless Unleashed launch happened at the end of last year. Despite 10s of thousands of people an big name streamers warning unaware consumers of Neowiz's greedy tactic which is to sell overpriced founder packs ranging from 50-200 dollars per pack than abandon all development for the game ASAP to avoid paying the expenses required to actually develop the game they promised , well 70k people still jumped into that game day one expecting a great new MMORPG that would be around for years, many bragged about how we were going to be wrong an gave Neowiz thousands of dollars just to mock us. Now 7 months after the game's launch an the money was collected Neowiz sold rights to the game 4 months ago to some company known to collect dead MMORPGs, the game averages 1k players on a good day (it perdicted that 70% of those players are bots too, as you literally can't go 2cm without running inot a bot in that game now), an all development for the game stopped 5 months ago.

So yes I would 100% agree with you but if Neowiz can keep successfully getting away with the Bless scam now for the past 11 years than sadly I can't agree, the average consumer is pretty stupid now a days an easily maninpulated.
