They could have different subscription tiers depending on the amount of players you want....it includes all boosting and all gear needed to compete. That makes more sense to me than just hoping people buy flex and give up before they recycle it while hoping someone else new comes in and does the same thing
Exactly. I doubt the average glb1 user is spending more than $60 a year on this game.

You aren't gonna get the subscription based idea as long as flex is hinged to all of their games. Would be nice for a little faster building period though I agree. Though accelerated building, or insta level players, or paying for full teams. None of that changes the stagnancy that this game is stuck in unfortunately.
Well, GLB2 is like Jennifer Grey after she got plastic surgery...
if no one had known who she was b4 the surgery, the new nose actually looked better. but her nose was her look. it would be like cindy crawford getting rid of her mole.

Originally posted by Dub J Why don't you admit you hate this game? You've hated it from the very start. You don't love GLB like I do. You've even tried to tell people I hate the game to mask the fact that you hate the game. Not unlike someone who cuts a nasty, silent fart and then exclaims their disgust at the stench in order to fool others into believing it was not an emission from their own anus. I believe you simple folk refer to it as "he who smelt it, dealt it".
Spread your hate elsewhere, Ben.
LOL.
You have to give money to make money. Its an easy concept. The game will die and they will not make a penny off the rest of its life span. Or they can bring in new life by adding a free player creating new activity. Yes you get people who get another free guy and never pay a cent. So what?! It costs them nothing to give a free player anyways, they loose no money. Their will be those who pay for a team to field the dots, people who pay for CEQ. People who pay to build an extra Dot or two to get the team to 55 players. Heck lowering the costs of flex would probably make them a ton of money. I know if flex wasn't so expensive to make a player in this game I'd buy a ton of it to field my own team. But instead they make almost nothing off me cuz I only pay for the custom equipment. When your product stops selling you give out samples and lower price. And the end result is they make a Profit! Correct me if Im wrong but that's what any good business wants right? GLB is to preoccupied with GLB2 though to worry about also getting profits from classic. They leaving money on the table here if you ask me. I just don't understand your business logic bhall.

at some point, it also isnt just about bringing in new, but trying to maintain what we have. there are some idiots that think that every paying customer has the same reasons for playing, and can't comprehend anything past their own tiny minds. its like the group of players that refuse to ever play for a human owner. i don't get it, but i acknowledge that they exist. if the fanbase for glb continues to shrink, then eventually there won't be enough left to keep it at all. its sad how many people are just walking away these days and never coming back. I dont really care how many free players they give us, it won't make 1 bit of difference how much I spend on this game, but I know some that would buy flex just to keep free players equipped. its the old economic balancing act of getting 1000 to spend $5 or 10 to spend $500.
