So i was reasearching ata and came across some interesting information. I would like to share http://www.techdirt.com/blog/?company=lodsys the article is about 1-2 years old my marketing opinion is still they sold out They tried to stay true to their fans for awhile by doing things like, promoting a sense of community within the game, limiting whales (not letting people spend $20,000 a day) and not having in app ads, relying solely on revenue from in app purchases. But in an apparent attempt to raise some fast cash we've been given promo parties. The timing of these promos oddly lines up with the development of ata's newest game. It's very possible the first round of promos was to cover the costs of development while these last few promos have just been to make some extra cash for marketing before the release. Or it is completely a possibility that I am wrong. Regardless this article is a good read for everyone. We are customers of this business it's good to be informed. We've been given promo parties/sold out So what are your thoughts?
