Your first F2P gameWhere you will go wrong

RotMG iteration
Mistake #1: Assuming things about other games
Mistake #2: Limited design space
Mistake #3: Expecting recognition for restraint
I’m all in favor of supporting the developers of fun games with no ads, but even after paying $3.99 they keep nickel-and-diming you Zynga-style…
I’ll give more stars if they add content and subtract greed.
(This only happened after RotMG stopped relying on donations)
Mistake #4: Expecting miracles from x-promo
Mistake #5: Over-reliance on press & platform love
Mistakes we generally didn’t make, but you might:
• No consumables as a source of revenue
• Over-reliance on a single platform
• Excess emphasis on “aesthetic goods”
