Did I miss something in the article? I clicked on a title promising the ruination of SWG and all I found was a guy contributing significant revenue to Sony while providing their players with a service they obviously desired. I understand there is an argument that virtual currency sales may decrease buyers' CLV but in the absence of an argument or evidence along those lines all I read was a story about an MMO players inflated self image and his tragic love affair with his game.
- unreal37 15y agoI think the TL;DR; is that he was a huge part of the economy on 3 SWG servers, and when they changed the game to make being a Jedi easy, he stopped playing. And when he stopped playing, he ended up accelerating the downfall of Galaxies as a whole since he was such a big factor on those 3 servers.
- herge 15y agoI thinks it's more that the downfall of Galaxies was tied to being able to get very cool powers without making much effort, like the new Jedi who killed his character. He encouraged it by feeding a system where players could buy credits with real money instead of 'earning' it in-game.
