What would the micro-transaction model be?

 

[LordDz]

It already is..? Just download it and play it with gameranger/whatever?

(Yes I bought the game when it came out, no pirating of wc3 here).

What would the micro-transaction model be?

a)

You'd get to see some square-shaped boobs when Jaina flashes for you, 1€ per one minute, +1€ increment. This would mean 10 minutes would cost in 55€ for the tenth minute, and in total it would've costed 220€ already! They also could use mouse lock - feature, which'd lock the cursor onto Jaina's boobs. It would at first seem useful, but then the user would realize he'd have no option to exit the trip tease - session, and then he'd have wasted 4960€ in half an hour! This wouldn't even include the regional taxes set by user's country, which would add about 100% more to the cost! Let's say 1000 users would watch Jaina do some strip tease for 10 minutes, that'd give Blizzard 220 000 euros already! If 10 horny nerds watched Jaina for 30 minutes, that would give 49 600 euros on top! So They'd make quarter of a million in a blink of an eye (which'd last 30 minutes). After Blizzard'd realize this new source of money, they'd add in all the bitches to the game, and Cairne Bloodhoof for the girls ​

b)

Not winning-related payments for cooler unit skins, just like gold-cards in Hearthsone. This'd make e.g. Your heroes look cooler depending on what it does, for example Paladin would look like Daniel Craig and Warden look like Emma Watson. If you paid 30€, you'd unlock all the skins at once. Now just imagine all the income this'd make. Let's say 1000 fans would buy the 30€ deal, it'd already make 30 000 euros. This actually doesn't sound much, but once other players see the cool skins in-game, they'd buy it too. So let's say these 1000 fans play in separate 4v4 games, they'd get the attention of 7 other players with their Daniel Craig - Paladins, it'd make 7000*30€ = 210 000 euros! So they'd make quarter million with this option also! Later on after they see the possibilities of this option, they'd make new skins for normal units too, per race that is. E.g. orc skin pack would cost 30 euros, which'd also include the heroes if the player hasn't already bought the heroes pack. Let's say the 8000 already affected fans would each buy this set, this would be 8000*30 = 240 000 euros! So with the skins, they'd actually make half a million in a blink of an eye!​

c)

They'd make 3 more races: Forsaken, Naga and Blood Elves. These would require a new expansion with no Campaign ofc because it'd be an old game. This expansion pack would also have its own ladder too, and Blizzard would cut out the patches and attention for RoC and TfT. This would force the player base to buy this new expansion to get the newest balance upgrades, not regarding of whether they actually care about the new races. Let's say they'd make a whole new map pool for this expansion too, and a proper wide screen support, so they could actually ask a little money from it. They'd sell it for 30€, Battle Chest with random comics from Chris Metzen's shit toilet and used toilet paper for 100€. If 100 000 players bought the normal one and 1 000 players bought the Battle Chest, this would give Blizzard 100 000 * 30 + 1 000 * 100 = 3 100 000 euros! Just imagine how they'd swim in money! This is my favourite option, as I'd like to see some new races brought to Warcraft 3 Maybe they'd even bring some new patches along with the new expansion?​
