    Awesome, 

    I am in favor of the recent move to sell Pearl Items. 

    The purge was needed imo.

    Everything is working as intended.

    Original videos had tons of downvotes and anti-p2w comments.  They reuploaded the videos with disabled comments and you can't see up/downvotes.

    I wish I could see the financials.  I wonder whether this was a case of Daum planning it all along, or if instead they didn't expect the income to stop once the box revenue and other one-time purchases that their monetization was based on were over so they one day finally asked "Why isn't anyone giving us money anymore?"

    Most likely always part of the plan, just a matter of timing, when income streams drop off, a new phase is introduced, so like others said, they probably aren't done making changes.

    I can understand them doing that, the sooner the disaffected players accept what has happened and move on the better it is for everyone.  Unhealthy to dwell on that which you have no control of.

    Still a bit perplexed gamers find this surprising.  At least anyone hanging around here long enough should have understood this was coming.

    Most of us are used to this type of thing by now, (games shutting down, being revamped, going p2w-f2p) so yeah this was a "whatever" moment for us regulars. I also think it might be a generational thing as well.
