New Microtransactions

nice

the game crashed because of this

Kurama!!!

If you had ANY doubts this game is made for a Chinese population, that pet should put them to rest.

Remember the days when GGG were exploring the rich mythology of the Maori people? When their pets were kiwis and rhoas, and not Naruto ripoffs? I'd ask what happened to those days, but we all know.

We know who owns GGG now.

So just a thought, folks: save your money now, resist the temptation to 'support' this game with its overpriced mtxes that you, by GGG's own financial model, do not need. YOU are going to need that money soon enough, as Covid-19's knock-on effects start to really show their economic reach.

You know who doesn't need your money? Tencent Holdings of China, current worth: $48 billion USD.

Yikes.

Also Senko is on fire!

The tail of the nine tailed fox looks eehhhhh :-p

Finally a proper pet, hopefully this is a new trend in mtx design that will continue.

For those interested in Stormbind, as well as the haters who've already dismissed it before even trying it out properly, Woolfio has some vids on it - https://youtu.be/QIPkhpj0keE and https://youtu.be/fiDrUSzEpEc

And we should care because...? It's a cool pet on its own and it also appeals to the western anime demographic. What's the point getting mad over an mtx referencing Chinese culture? Does it impact gameplay? Nope. And it's not even like this is their first pet drawn from non-NZ culture. For example - https://youtu.be/Ib_Xt5tysgc There's already 3 versions of those btw, and that's just one cultural reference mtx.

And save your dramatic declarations over "who owns GGG now" - we've already known that for years, as soon as it happened in fact, since it was openly announced. A new mtx drawn from that culture reveals nothing new. It's not even their first time. They've done it before, even beyond pet mtxes - https://youtu.be/8JCL4VJcVYo

Lastly, Tencent's worth has no bearing on whether GGG needs money. They didn't buy the company to prop it up with their reserves as if they're a charity.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that mate.
