Hello Respected Community Members,
First and foremost, let me just say, I love this game to death. Everything about this game is perfect, in my opinion, I truly mean everything. I could go on for hours explaining why I love this game so much but this is not the topic I want to discuss. Instead, I would like to discuss, with you, ideas on how we as the community can help fund this game into the future.
In today's day and age, everything seems to be funded via micro-transactions or subscriptions, long term supported games anyway. NS2 on the other hand is funded by one of purchase which can unfortunately dry up very quickly and without income or future games in the pipeline UWE could be in trouble. Without compromising the game mechanics, balance and braking everyone's piggy bank how could we ensure that UWE receives steady funding into the future so they can maintain and support this superb game.
I've lurked around in this forum since NS2 was released and I know for a fact that we have some amazing minds here. So can I please ask of you all to share your opinions on this matter and produce some very clever ideas on how we can combat this issues.
My ideas are as follows:
- Create non-compulsory subscription fee which cost about $1-5 a month and offers a unique skin (along the lines of black armor).
- Create micro-transactions for unique voice packs or emotes.
- Create an in game steam based, donate button, for those feeling very generous (and with a big piggy bank).
Please don't take me the wrong way, the last thing I would like to do is hurt this game in anyway by changing anything, my concern is the well being of the game and the team behind it. I would live this see NS2 thrive for the next 10 years and with funding and the wonderful team behind the scenes I believe it will.
So the question is:
How can we ensure that UWE receives steady income in the future?
Kind regards,
Fultre
