TA Supporter Packs Achieve Record Sales + 11.5 Million Players

They seem to be hard workers. I Feel the success is well earned and deserved.

wondering if "record sales" is marketing or real ?

I was expecting lower sales compared to previous packs, even with the great marketing job done from Chris and the beta hype.

You're assuming its all packs. I saw no value in pack, in beta and already had all the weapons etc. I bought points instead so I'm sure it added to tally too.

They hyped the shit outve a beta for an already released game. Then locked out most of their community from it. They then offered a buy-in. Is anyone really surprised they sold more of these than weapon MTX supporter packs..?

E: great short term gain, the long term costs are less apparent for now..

They should have allowed buy in from the start and not delay a few days,testing the waters and see peoples reaction and suddenly dump the keys in supporter packs. Cheap tactic IMO.

Ya the whole thing was pretty crass tbh.

Looked at another way, given the shitstorm GGG routinely walks into from this community every time they make ANY kind of decision, I could see why they hedged, at first. Remember, they adjusted the waves of Beta access to accommodate the demands of those who posted on this forum. For that matter, they started selling Beta access back in Closed to accommodate player demand, and they did it again, this time.

GGG gives people what they want, and get slapped for it, anyway. ='[.]'=
