Wether this interview is real or not, here's a quote! "IN: What are your averages then? KA: Keep this in mind – we limit whales. When we were getting guys that were spending $20,000 a day in our game. (Editor’s note: Yes, we were incredulous about this figure too. But we double-checked with A Thinking Ape by e-mail on this and they said $20,000, as in real — not virtual — currency.) I believe that he is currently mentioning RS_Pun here that's all... K bay. Ps the rest of the quote, I didn't read it so kiss my arse. We realized it was skewing our revenue and we realized we didn’t want to create a game community where people thought that you had to pay to win. Our games are so social that you could see people rise to the top of the leaderboards because they could afford to be there. That’s actually really bad for the community. We want people to rise slowly and move up the charts and have the ability to get integrated within the communities. Our users, even with those high monetization numbers are limited to like, $150 bucks a day."
Yes, but that was an old interview and the game is kingdom whatever (another's ATA game). Just felt like wasting your time reading an outdated source since today, it's all about pay 2 win.
Ata's like a band They get popular and decide to make a lot of money off their fame, and the origional followers call them sell outs as we remember better days... Yay nastalga
