Wulfgar dumped $150 or so into garapon, and still did not get his beloved Regina. On a side note, currently he is in love with Kuten and won't shut up about it.

Since a lot of people have been throwing around the term pay2win recently, there's a GDC (Game Developer's Conference) 2011 talk about another pay2win game and what happened when they started charging money for more powerful weapons that may explain how this stuff works for some of you. The first part will sound rather familiar but the second part may surprise you.

Cyberstep has undoubtedly made the same calculations and is satisfied with the numbers, which is why they're staying the course despite the squealing on the forums. Don't bother pestering anyone for the numbers, CS has no reason to disclose them to you.

I of course don't know their numbers either but I wonder they're overplaying their hand. That they think the "Rare Gara-Robo Reward Campaign" is a reasonable offer hints that their avg. revenue per paying user is unbelievably high right now and I doubt that the current game model can sustain that level indefinitely, niche game or not. A few hundred star coins in, I'm tired of the upgrade treadmill myself and CS has failed to build a positive and supportive player community to entice me to stay.

Time will tell.
