The sad truth is, cat cafe and pizza pop are keeping this game alive, yet killing it at the same time. Players weren't buying enough stuff for them to be able to pay for the servers, so they made cat cafe and now business is pretty good for them. They are getting quite a lot of money from cc and PPA and the DNs people buy for their drop. But at the same time, it's killing the community playing the game. Many are quitting and many are stopping buying cats. But still, enough people are buying cats for them to pay for the servers. In a sense, cat cafe and pizza pop are keeping the game financially alive
Paying for servers Matt is pretty cheap compared to salaries and other operational costs. The sad truth is that their four main games have all been falling in popularity as years go by. KAW was the true bread-winner for them for years and that continues to hurt them. Their actions in the other games is a result of that. Losing FC and GaW. The mad push here everyday to sell cats cats cats. I've done a little bit of research and posted my findings in another thread. I know ATA has other sources of income: other games, their IP Chatterous, etc. I doubt anyone except investors and company execs know what shape the company is in. I'd be lying if I said I was optimistic long term
