    dear Rovio
    Remove the boosts from guild war. It has turned out that “the wiinner of this week competition” is ..... those guilds with most buyers!
    Excellent politic from a Rovio money management point of view (greed), very poor from a players point of view, (sadness and frustration)
    But don’t think several weeks, just make it happen now!

    You might wanna thank those people. It's them that actually makes the game running.

    Nope, the game makes more money with the ads that 80% of the people watch. The 20% people that pay, doesn't even count to the amount of money they get from watching ads.;)

    Well , I heard WarNet said it on his stream that the game makes more money from the ads that people watch than the players that actually pay.

    But u never know. Lol:p

    Only the developers can confirm this.:rolleyes:

    Based on my inferences a single whale spends about 1000$ on the game, and there are quite a bit of the whales.
    And so players would need to watch millions of ads cumulatively.
    A cloud costs thousands of dollars a month.

    Lol... I know this sounds nice and would fit the narrative of not having P2P games.... but I just wouldn't believe they make most of their money off of ads unless it was explicitly stated by a dev.

    Exactly, without an official confirmation from the Devs , we'll never know.

    But, WarNet is in one of the groups with the Devs, so .. he might know more than us. Just saying.;)

    Unfortunately we can't disclose any financial numbers from Battle Bay.
    However, in general a rough rule of thumb for games which have both in-app purchases and ads can be considered to be more like around 5-10% from ads, definitely not majority.

    That's my opinion. It's also the view I take when I occasionally find myself in the sights of some whale with a rack of legendaries. I'm fine with giving the P2W people their wins. That is, after all, why they are paying. My fun comes from the actual matches and so far P2W isn't a big problem there.

    Can I just say how much I love the posts you make? I'm so used to getting a bunch of spin from game developers (looking at you Blizzard) that it's refreshing to get unspun facts that we can then interpret as we will.

    Thanks for taking the time to give us these little data drops :)

    :) thanks. I knew that “fact” was just a convenient rumor. It also makes us spenders feel better to know that we help keep the lights on. ;)

    One day can you disclose? No names to protect the innocent but I bet some of the truths would blow our minds! I want stories and stats! % that spend, % that dont, most spent, do you use the term whale or do you have a better developer term? I bet you have meetings on it. You know that I know that you know. I would read a book if you published it. I would kickstarter it or pre-order...whatever you need. $$$$

    His contract probably includes a non-disclosure agreement that would prohibit from speaking about a lot of this. I'm sure this is even a touchier subject due to their current stock predicament.

    Here's an idea. Sprinkle some 2x and 5x boosts in the rivalry raffle. Maybe replace those useless power cells!
