      All this game has come down to now is the developers have created a huge cash cow in war bonds and want to milk it for all its worth. They dont care about non-paying players because they don’t bring Bytro any profit. All they care about is what’s in it for them.

      God, makes me sad, I really dislike this change. I’d rather have had more resource complexity and issues, especially because that would make countries of choice matter that much more, especially in historical games where Japan and Germany somehow don’t have resource trouble. Saddening…
      I know. On their “historically accurate” 1939 map: I put “historically accurate” in quotes because the map is actually far from being historically accurate. Not only do nations start with resource shortages (or lack thereof) as they had in real life, there are glaring geographical issues and fallacies that haven’t been addressed in the map’s years-long history. For example, Burma should be part of the British Raj, or remove the Raj entirely and make the whole thing a British colony. Syria is overpowered. Various islands throughout Europe (Crete, Malta, Channel Islands, Norse islands, etc.) are either underrepresented or missing entirely. The France-German border is inaccurate. The Finland-Soviet border is atrocious. And I haven’t even mentioned the slew of inaccuracies regarding the China/Japan region.
      Case in point, there are map issues and historical inaccuracies throughout the game that have gone unaddressed for years, because (I think) Bytro is too busy working on ways to maximize profit and develop potential cash cows.
      Yes, tons of inaccuracies.

      But... Bytro doesn’t care. Too busy counting their money.

    • The "Bytro is just trying to maximize profits" complaint is one of the most bizarre. Of course that's what they're trying to do, that's how companies work. If COW loses too much money they're just going to cease offering it.

      You can disagree with whether the decisions they make are wise (which many people do for this particular change), and disagree as to whether they're being honest with the community about their rationale for making this change (they probably aren't), but the fact that their decisions are likely guided by profit motive is just the way these things work.

    • guys, let's just agree, bytro is milking the game, and we should stop playing
      Do ypu want COW to be more complex and tactical? Are you tired of updates that just add another P2W aspect of the game?

      You are not alone, many other people share your veiws, which is why I decided to create the Improvement Party, a group dedicated to the goal of making the game more complex and less P2W.

      If you are interested, contact me to join.

      Exactly. As someone who's read Who Moved My Cheese several times, I say we adapt or... I can't think of a word to put here :( . The same applies to all aspects of life

      Like Jubjub said, it's how most major game developing companies work

      But they used to try, understanding how to make a game LAST and be enjoyable, there used to passion. Now it feels like they’re milking it and accepting its death. Very sad to watch such a decline. I don’t care if it’s the norm, it still sucks

    • I joined a new type game yesterday. The new version is so horrible it is unplayable to any meaningful degree. You have a choice at the beginning of do nothing for say 5 days and hope nobody attacks you or a limited attack. meet resistance from AI and then get hammered. For unless you spend real money on gold you cant get enough resources to grow the economy and arm and research. Frankly it is shit.

      They dont fix obvious bugs, their servers are at bursting point (noticeable on the weekend about 1700 CET when USA powers up), messing around with gold/war bonds and a takeover.
      I heard that Bytro’s parent company, Stillfront, is in the toilet stockwise.
      How much are the shares?

      That’s true. Stillfront lost 90% of their stock value over the last 4 years.

      When I when on there it said somewhere between 1 and 2 euros, if I remember correctly.

      Pathetic.

      Is that because people sell their shares?

      If you join a world at war round... it’s virtually impossible to win without getting beat by the golders.
