I think the publishers thought that given their game was so popular on the webiste, making it premium would bring them more profit
but now almost no one is playing, so their profit will likely be less than it was when it was a free game.

I don't think board game companies generally make ANY money if the game isn't premium, so I don't think this is true.Oshikureto wrote: ↑17 June 2025, 14:49 I think the publishers thought that given their game was so popular on the webiste, making it premium would bring them more profit

Less people are playing, but now the company is likely at least making SOME money from their game.

They do earn money even if the game is not premium. It's called adsense.Remkar wrote: ↑17 June 2025, 19:36I don't think board game companies generally make ANY money if the game isn't premium, so I don't think this is true.Oshikureto wrote: ↑17 June 2025, 14:49 I think the publishers thought that given their game was so popular on the webiste, making it premium would bring them more profit

BGA doesn't use AdSense. BGA doesn't even run any ads (except for BGA premium), right?Oshikureto wrote: ↑24 June 2025, 15:09They do earn money even if the game is not premium.

And even if they did, BGA would be collecting the ad profits, not the board game companies I would assume (unless they were Premium), but that's all moot, because they don't even use AdSense.
Unless I'm completely misunderstanding you (or something about BGA), in which case, I apologize, and feel free to explain more.

Re: Premium Mode Ruined the game
I have suggestion for this game company. What comes about making this game premium game... JUST DONT DO THAT. It is simple as that.
Re: Premium Mode Ruined the game
I know, why should companies expect to make any money from making games. They should provide stuff to us for free, right?Axaddettu90 wrote: ↑28 June 2025, 14:50 I have suggestion for this game company. What comes about making this game premium game... JUST DONT DO THAT. It is simple as that.
