u do know those paying players make it able for u to play for free right?
widhout donators this game whouldn't exist for u Free to pplay guys
I do agree somewhat actually.
Its one of those chicken and the egg. We need the p2w to fund the game so f2p can play. At the same time, p2w need the f2p in the game to make the numbers.
If there's no p2w, the game collapse because there's no income to the makers, they won't see a point making more content and pushing the game, its not a charity. Looking on the other side of the fence, if there's no f2p, the p2w will eventually get bored with decreasing numbers in the servers. -

that's not how it works though, the game is making more then enough money in china taiwan etc as those are the original releases, global is just for milking money. its not like oasis games create NEW content for global, they are just translating and implementing stuff that's already created and besides by now the game should have broken even on its profit if not made more money, spending loads in global mean making the devs rich nothing else. also I heard that all the sprites and character models in this game are ba
sed on modals from another naruto game called ninja storm revolution or something like that (it came up in one thread about future characters), this is a browser game I mean how much can the development cost be anyway and that only applies to china when the game was first released, you know what I think the fan boys are just scared global will be shut down if the devs don't get enough money its sad really.
However, this version is just a franchise, which is run differently by a different management.
Like how all franchises work. You get to choose how you want to release your content (as long as its still possibly in line with China/Taiwan), how you want to earn your profits, but the big owner still gets a cut. So its doesn't matter how China/Taiwan, etc earns on their own, that's their cut. Oasis do not get their cut. Oasis is separate from them. Oasis earn their own, and possibly have to give part of their own cut to the original owners.
Just like maybe a fast food chain. You get the franchise to sell that product. How you want to run that restaurant is up to you. Wages to your staff, duty roster, etc is all up to you. As long as the recipe and menu is the same. -

- so what you are basically saying is that someone some random Joe (oasis in this case) decided ''rent'' someone elses mmo and they don't actually own the game they just do business with it, like how some people run shops with borrowed goods, they run a borrowed mmo. correct me if I am wrong
Don't quote me on it. However, looking at the picture this is how I understand it to be, I maybe completely wrong, but unless a member of staff comes to explain or clarify it, this is my personal opinion of how I'm seeing it.
The game itself belongs to Bandai Namco.
Naruto Online US/EU/HK is under Oasis Games Limited.
Naruto Online CN is under a joint partnership of Tencent, Cyberconnect2, & More Fun Studio.
So Oasis Games Limited, Tencent/Cyberconnect2/More Fun Studio are the franchise owners, or in relation to words you used, "renters", or even if they are not franchise owners, they may be considered Subsidiaries. Each subsidiary can decide how they want to run the game, or release the content, or hold content.
Using the fast food example again. Think KFC, its international. But if you've travelled around, the KFC menu in Singapore & Malaysia, South Korea, & Glasgow (I'm sure about other countries, but I'm sure of these ones), they actually have almost similar menus but they are not identical. There are items on that menu that are present in some countries but not in others. At the end of the day, its still under the KFC name. Just like Naruto Online, its still under that same name, but the different groups can decide however they wish to run the game.
If you feel that it doesn't count as a valid example. How about think of Bandai Namco as the Parent company similar to the Volkswagen Group. Then think of the Oasis Games Limited & Tencent/Cyberconnect2/More Fun Studio as the subsidiary such as Audi, SEAT, Volkswagen, Porsche, Bugatti (just to name of a few). Each subsidiary can choose how they run their own business and how they want to market it, and how they want to price it, but they are all under the umbrella of the Volkswagen Group. This is a very layman example, as they are of course a lot of complicated than that. This post was last edited by JeremyKohBS at 2017-4-3 20:15 -
