Subscription vs. One-time cost

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Subscription vs. One-time cost

Interesting, but I'm not sure that a match-3 game will appeal enough to serious gamers (if by this you mean "hardcore" gamers) for you to build up a decent subscription base. Serious gamers are a difficult and cynical lot to please, and they'll see right through the gold and spells to the simple match-3 type puzzle game that hides behind them.

By the way, you mention prizes and cash rewards in an earlier post. How are you going to afford to do this? Don't say that subscriptions will pay for these things - because initially there will be few subscriptions and no guarantee of expanding your subscription base. This seems like an extreemly expensive proposal. Are you quite sure that you've thought if through?
