4 Comments on Hi-Rez Studios Reveals SMITE 2
Popularity doesn't mean s*** if company can't monetize it properly.
Actually, large playerbase then makes things WORSE, as they incur load on servers, increasing operating costs, but not revenue.
You may not care rn, but you will when company pulls the plug on the game.
This is what happened to one of my favorite MOBAs, Gigantic, a few years ago.
Overwatch has had order of magnitude of players more than Smite, yet also struggled with that and had to switch to F2P.
Meanwhile likes of LoL and Fortnite are milking their playerbase for all they can. And LoL is what, 15 years old now?
Stop the bickering and snipes.
