Guild Wars 2

BlueZone.4236:

Many western mobile apps and games these days do worse things than what’s in the Chinese version, so no, the “different culture” excuse doesn’t fly.
They’ve already said they’re going to follow the same business model as the western version, anyway, so we’ll get the same outrage here but people will say the complaints are the minority.

yeah, many mobile games do, but do you see those games making as much money? That mobile revamp of the dungeon game that u literally can’t continue playing without paying real money? Yeah, that game isn’t doing so well

Also, we are the western version ;P

Fernling.1729:

Not every mmo has to be like this in china.

Yes. Yes it does. Welcome to socialism.

The successful ones, yes. Search up Candy Crush, for example.
Ignore the specifics of the game type, they’re following the same business model.

EDIT: there’s even a few posters here that expressed interest in implementing the VIP system, so don’t be surprised how similar the culture really is.
