Feedback on the payment system.

The few people responsible will be blamed until the last members leave.

"Overall, I don't think the quality of games on nonoba is near high enough to warrant this. If most games coming out of here were professional-level stuff I don't think I would have any problem with it."

I agree with him.

Two notes,

one, i'd donate money for the bridge runner game. it's that brilliant!

two, you're right that payment requires quality. We don't want all the existing games to start charging, that'd just be silly.

However, we hope that we'll start seeing games of much higher quality, IN ADDITION, to the steady stream of free games we'll continue to have.

You assume that somehow, for no good reason, all games on Nonoba would become pay-to-play. I can assure you, this will not happen. There will always be a majority of free games.

That's not my fear. The thing I argue about is that people who aren't allowed to pay for games (Like myself) will have a small - to larger or even near infinite advantage.

There's an advantage to not being allowed to pay? What? I'm not following you.

Or maybe, one day, we'll have a user that causes trouble when given the credit card number. Those people are called Cyber criminals. They're everywhere. Even on nonoba.

Those people who ARE paying might have EXTREME advantages over those, who don't pay.

Nah this wont ever work.. thats really easy to abuse.

That depends on the game of course, but yes, it would be possible to create such a game. Would it be fun to play? Would it be successful? Those are more important questions, and I'm confident that it will balance out nicely in the end.

Oh, OK. I still don't agree.

Woah! I totally agree with that guy too!


Volcano, I sincerely think you and most other people on this site are overreacting. I'd encourage everyone to reserve your judgment until we actually start to see some games that use the new API.


Objecting to something is fine, but demanding removal of something that has not been implemented yet is another thing entirely.

Overreacting, yes. I was shocked to come here and see this, but when thinking about it twice, I'm actually HAPPY.
