As a matter of fact, I do spend an occasional 10 euros, but I'm not sure if it counts.

F2P players act as fans. They do serve Tsuki's interest in the end.

Better have 60 million players who spend 5 euros a month rather than 500 000 who will spend 100.

They didn't decide to have a F2P/P2W format out of pure charity.

They DO make more profit with this formula. I don't know what you're trying to prove here.

I don't see what Lr Broly has to do in the conversation but here it goes: Jp has everything in early access. No time to prepare much, but everything before the rest of the world.

Glb has to wait 6 months of lag. Sucks to have to wait, but you can plan in advance.

If they start shuffling the release schedule, then the last argument Pro Glb just shatters. the LR Broly reference is because GLB got him before JP so GLB couldnt plan for him.... which seems to be your issue.....

yes i get its not pure charity that they decided to go the f2p/p2p route but f2p players in my mind, only really provide advertising when they are, for example, on FB showing their teams and other DB fans are asking what the game is.... as a reward for free advertisement, they offer some f2p content.... but the devs are really only interested in the people who are going to spend money on a free game.... its how they make majority of their profit (again, they will probably make some profit from ads but i dont think ive ever seen any non DB ads in the game) - at the start it would have made commercial sense for them to offer for free to get more people involved, but now the game is actually pretty big (amongst DB fans - hence number of downloads) the game would probably survive without the f2p players at all and the devs could change the business model to reflect that... but they havent...

and spending 10 euroes is still contributing to their bottom line - bit more of an argument to be annoyed about schedule change because you are actually contributing... but, like you say, you can just buy stones as p2p when you need them

you could look at things more positively....... you get "a chance" at 17, 4 months earlier than you had planned.... i say a chance, beacuse you could still save up however many stones and not got who you want...
