IBlizzard kunye neHlabathi labathengisi beGolide
Uninzi lwabadlali beWarcraft namhlanje bathanda ukuthenga iWoW ngegolide, izinto, iiakhawunti kunye neeseshini zokulinganisa amandla, kodwa iblizzard kunye nabanye abadlali bakuthatha oku njengokukopela. Ewe, unakho ukuphucula umlingiswa wakho ukuya kwinqanaba eliphezulu kakhulu okanye izinto ezisemgangathweni, izixhobo, izixhobo kunye nezinye izixhobo ezinemali yokwenene. Akufanelekanga ukuba abo badlali bangenayo imali eyongezelelweyo okanye abanokukhetha ukuyidlala ngendlela yakudala. Kodwa umzekelo, sonke siyayazi into elungileyo yeNintendo? Ewe xa umdlalo we-shark uphumile ngaba uNintendo wazama ukumisa okanye ukubathintela ekuthengiseni? Hayi, khange benze njalo. Kodwa ke, kwabo bakhethe ukukopela umdlalo bekungafuneki ukuba badlale nabanye abangafuni ukukopa. Ke eso sisigqibo esinye sokuba kutheni abadlali kunye neBlizzard bengakuvumeli ukuthengisa okanye ukuthenga igolide.
Ukuphazamiseka okuvela kumafama egolide eWarcraft. Ewe ndiqinisekile ukuba sonke sinamava okuba ukulima ngoku iintsuku bezinzima kancinci ngenxa yenani elinzima labalimi begolide beWoW. Ukuba igolide ayinakuthengiswa kusetyenziswa imali yokwenyani amafama ebengazukubakho kwaye abadlali banokukwazi ukonwabela umdlalo ngakumbi. Mhlawumbi i-blizzard kufuneka inyanzelise umthetho wokulima? Okanye vumela abadlali ukuba bamake umlo kwaye babavumele ixesha lokulungiselela ukubulala ihlokondiba ebebejolise kulo? Ewe, iBlizzard ayingorhulumente nokuba kunjalo, urhulumente namhlanje akafezekanga.
Esinye isizathu sokuba ndiqonde ukuba abadlali bayayicaphukela imbono yokuthenga / ukuthengisa igolide kungenxa yokuba iphazamisa uqoqosho. Ukuba kukho ukugqithisa kwegolide, ixabiso lehla ngegolide kunye nexabiso lento iya kuphakama ibangela ukuba abadlali bachithe igolide engaphezulu kwinto kunokuba befanele ukuyihlawula. Uqoqosho olusisiseko 101, ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nokwehla. Umdlali unokulima kuphela isixa segolide esingu-X ngaphezulu kwexesha elinikiweyo. Okukhona igolide ingaphezulu, kokukhona into iya kubiza, ngakumbi umdlali kuya kufuneka alime ngaphandle kokuba athenge igolide ngokuqinisekileyo.
Kulungile ngazo zonke ezi ngxaki zibandakanya ukuthengisa igolide, kutheni iBlizzard ingenzanga nto? Ndiyakholelwa ukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba bayasebenza kwisisombululo kodwa abayikholelwa, amafama enza malunga neepesenti ezingama-30 zabemi. Kwenye indawo ngasemva kwengqondo yabo ndiqinisekile ukuba abafuni ukulahla bonke ababhalisile. Into abayenzayo endaweni yoko iyabathintela abambalwa ngexesha kwaye baya kucelwa ukuba bathenge umhlaba omtsha we-warcraft cd key. Ukuhamba kwemali eyongezelelweyo kwi-O Blizzard enamandla. Ewe amafama kunye nabathengisi bavala iiakhawunti zabo. Kodwa khange uve malunga nabathengi ukuba bavinjelwe nangona kunjalo. Ngethamsanqa kuthi?
Njengoko abanye benu benokwazi, omnye umpapashi we-mmorpg odumileyo nguSony Online Entertainment (SOE) ngezihloko zakhe ezininzi eziphambili kubandakanya iMMORPG yokuqala eyabetha i-EverQuest, ii-Star Wars Galaxies kunye ne-EverQuest 2. Kutheni ndizisa i-SOE? Kuba bazise iSony Exchange. I-sony Exchange yindawo ekhuselekileyo yentengiso yabadlali kwifandesi yezemali kunye nezinto zabo kwabanye abadlali ngemali yangempela. Ukubuya kwe-SOE kunjalo ithatha imali encinci kubo. Inomtsalane akunjalo? Kulungile kunye nolu luvo lutsha lokuyila, bakwanazo nezicwangciso zokukhulula umdlalo omtsha apho baya kuthengisa iimali kunye nezinto ngokwabo. Eyona nto intle kakhulu ibetha umhlathi wesibini wokungakopeli. Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ndiqinisekile ukuba bazakwenza iiseva ezithile apho ukuthengwa / ukuthengiswa kweeasethi ezingavumelekanga.
Ukuba i-SOE ingena kwintengiso yesibini kutheni abadlali bengakwazi? Ndiyazibuza ukuba ingaba iBlizzard ingathatha isigqibo sokungena kwintengiso yesibini ngokwabo. Yikholwe okanye ungakholelwa, kodwa isiseko sababhalisi beLizwe leWarcraft ngaphezulu kokuphindaphinda into ene-SOE iyonke. Njengoko ubona i-SOE isamkela imeko entsha kwaye yenza umthwalo omkhulu wenzuzo, ndiqinisekile ukuba iBlizzard iya kulilandela naloo mbono. I-EverQuest yaba yeyokuqala ukubethwa kwe-mmorpg, iBlizzard yaziwa ngexesha labo lokwenyani kwimidlalo yeqhinga ngoku ine-mmorpg eyaziwayo. Andizukubona ukuba kutheni bengazukulandela kwaye baziqokelelele imali ezinkozo ngokwabo. Ngokubanzi, nangona singazi ngeenjongo zeBlizzards kwabo bathenga igolide yeWoW, ndingatsho ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba andazi namnye umntu ofumene iakhawunti yakhe enqatshelwe ukuthenga igolide yeWoW. Nceda uqonde ukuba eli nqaku liphela luluvo kuphela kwaye andiphenduli kwizenzo zakho.
