The RuneScape updates were made for the purpose of destroying a serious threat towards the game. Jagex lost money by implementing it, but they were willing to do so in order to improve their game.

 

 

 

And yes, all companies' main goal is to make money. And do you know how to make money if you are a gaming company? They "make the best awesome game ever".

 

 

 

 

 

Any sort of bots were not a serious problem to the game. I'm sorry but all this time they have been chasing down this problem and really don't care what kind of causalities happen along the way.

 

 

 

 

 

See, there are companies, such as jagex, that really only care about one thing. Some companies care about profits, in Jagex's case they really only care at this point about their revenue and getting these gold farmers out of the game no matter the cost. They don't give a damn on what part of the community they hurt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Defender, not every company is like this. To be honest you are less likely to see this behavior with many 'good' companies such as the ones I listed and many many more.

 

 

 

There are a lot of game companies out there still to bring and devliver an enjoyable experience. Yes, they need to make money doing it. However just like how an artist such as a musician makes money they make it by creating enjoyable content that others will like. Don't let a few bad companies get in your way of thinking every gaming company is 'evil'.

 

 

 

 

 

And if you're currious llamster, I am the same Nadril on MMORPG.com as here

 

 

 

Perhaps your right, but I always seem to see more towards how they screw people over than deliever a enjoyable experience.

 

 

 

Like Crysis for example, the entire game was awesome but my anticipation to go to the ice sphere is what I really wanted and waited for. Guess what, it doesn't happen due to the fact their making the game a 3 way fold series or Trilogy to get extra cash.

 

 

 

I felt so ripped off from a company I thought that cared.. only to have them have only ONE ice level which was a short and quick run n gun mission. You never go back in till part 2, but the problem is, there SHOULDN'T BE a part 2. It only comes with 10 levels on single player aside from multiplayer and I waited forever to get this game. I felt kinda ripped off because I rarely seen any ice at all.

 

 

 

Meh, I guess i'm just a negative towards companies when I always see them screw people so they can worship the dollar. Sure, getting money is 1 thing to stay afloat and perhaps some profit, but just doing it for more money is ridicolous.

The bots were a serious problem, and Jagex got rid of them because they cared about the game and was willing to lose a few members to fix the problem. The only other choices were to let the problem go and allow RWT to overrun the game, or to open up a item/gold shop of their own. The item shop would hurt a lot more people than what they did as well as defeat the purpose of the game, but it would probably make Jagex more money in the long run. My point is, they aren't just in it for the money, but care about pleasing their players and making a good game, much like the companies you mentioned. And if they are, explain why they haven't closed down RuneScape F2P.

 

 

 

I seriously doubt that the company that made Crysis was being greedy when they decided to make it into a trilogy. If they tried to fit it all into a single game it would take to about 2012 or something, and they'd probably run out of money along the way.

 

Regardless of whether or not bots were a serious problem (I agree that it was), Jagex got rid of them because they cared about the game and was willing to lose a few members to fix the problem. My point is, they aren't just in it for the money, much like the companies you mentioned.

 

 

Nah, Jagex got rid of the bots because the bots were selling their intellectual property, and with the new Summoning skill coming, they knew that most of their customer base would still continue to pay for the game despite the drastic changes being implemented.

Jagex wasn't losing any money to the bots, so it wasn't a money issue. And even though Summoning is coming around, they'll still lose a fair bit of profit.
